Welcome to the Super Bowl of NFL social media.

On Wednesday, around 8 p.m. ET, the league will release its 2021 season schedule. Simultaneously, team social media directors will publish content promoting those schedules, a process that in recent years has become ultra-competitive and, for some teams, ultra-expensive.

What reaches fans’ feeds is the culmination of months of planning and dozens of brainstorm meetings, all in hopes of producing the most creative, unique and viral content. Some teams will dive deep into memes. Some might create music videos or spoof a television show. Many will utilize their famous players. A few will spend tens of thousands of dollars, or even six figures, for a video they hope will go viral. It needs to be of the highest production value, as well as funny and unique, creative and catchy.

Now the Panthers will again turn to pop culture for their 2021 schedule release video. They settled on a concept about a month ago, and have spent the weeks since working on individual elements for each of the 17 games. Teams have known their opponents since January; they’ll only get the order of the schedule a few hours before it goes public Wednesday. Editors will frantically work to stitch the video together, while social media directors craft the perfect tweets, Instagram posts and stories they hope will make their content trend.

 .....the Panthers are the fun kids. Carolina’s recent viral moments included new quarterback Sam Darnold reacting to the many memes made of him during his three years with the Jets, and Darnold drawing — poorly — the Panthers’ logo from memory. Carolina changed its Twitter avatar to Darnold’s version last week, perhaps just a preview of something ridiculous to come in its schedule release video.

The Panthers are closely guarding their 2021 concept, and that’s not uncommon. Social media managers might have shared ideas with each other a few years ago when schedule-release videos were a new thing, but now it has become a competition to see who can be the most creative and whose video will take off on Twitter, Instagram or TikTok

Honest question? Is the schedule release really interesting to most? I can't say I look more than a few games in advance during the season. 

I usually don't get too excited about it- I pay attention because its football and by the time the schedule comes out all the Draft stuff is dying down. I think some fans are really just happy to get something football related to chew on.

If you're looking to get tickets to a game. Or see if we get any night games.

 

That make sense. I suppose that doesn't apply to me as I decide a week to two out and get tickets when I know I can go or want to go.

Would you watch a video about that or just look at the printed schedule.

The storylines are about all I care about. I want to see if they put Panthers vs. Patriots in Prime Time for Cams return.

      Post Draft Luke and JJ Podcast

      By GamecockSmitty4 · Posted

      Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
