Not good. League about to come down on us if true

Highly doubt it. It never even came to the team facility. Players going out on their own and getting it during the bye is their problem. Much different than the team being responsible for protocols being broken at the team facility.

Exactly.  Panthers organization will not be punished at all nor should they be. Players should.

Exactly. Hopefully they just suspend some players and we have to play this websites owner at QB.

Players probably should be punished but won’t. There are no rules that prohibit them from gathering outside the facility. The NFLPA would appeal any punishment the league tries to hand out and win.

Well, this seems like a bunch of crazy talk.

The NFL can't punish the team for something players do on their own time outside the team facility.  In what world does anyone think that will fly?  The NFLPA would crush them.  Any court would crush them.  Heck, even the team itself might sue the NFL if they tried that.

Even the team doesn't really have any legal recourse against those players.  Again.  On their own time, outside team facilities.  Your employer has no say in what you do in those circumstances, and the Panthers are no different.

This isn't to say the team won't be pissed, privately.  I'm sure they will let those players know in no uncertain terms how stupid that was.  But we will likely never hear about it except as rumors.

Lol, look at y’all ready to crucify these guys for being close to each other during a “pandemic” , but every thing is fine when they’re tackling and sweating on each other during a football game, as long as it’s for your entertainment. Hypocrites. 

All of this

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
