I was literally talking to my buddy about this today. What if the Panthers went with the original concept design as a throwback before we re-design the unis and will have legit throwbacks.

You got to follow this up, is that a real panther prototype or just one of the 700 High school panther helmets??

Surprised the NFLPA is going along with this. New helmets = way higher chance of injury and concussions.

?????

New helmets come out every year.  I have no idea how often they need replaced, but players change helmets on occasion.  Change brands/models.  There is even linemen specific helmets now which was a big deal this past year.  I imagine a bunch of oline and dline guys switched to new helmets last year because of that.

I'm honestly pretty lost as to what you are talking about.

What I mean is switching helmets mid season. It’s the reason they didn’t do special helmets with the color rush scheme. I guess now that there’s a new CBA that’s why they are doing it.

I understand.  I learned something.  Though, that seems like it was a silly rule.  I mean, helmets have to be broken in at the beginning of the year.  It took nine years to figure out that a second helmet could be broken in after the first?  I imagine it just has to be worn a certain amount before I could be used in live action.

    • If he really wants to be here, that can happen.  It's totally up to him.  Yes, he'll have to take a hometown discount to do it.  He'll have to show that the last two seasons were outliers and he hasn't become an injury risk. It will come down to money and how much of it he wants.  If he wants to be paid at the upper end of the scale, it won't and can't happen here.  When healthy, he deserves that kind of pay and if he wants it someone else will pay it. It can totally happen.  And it's totally in his court.  
    • He was on the "sideline" during OTA or mini camp, Im sure there was some Twitter/X post but news just moves so fast now.  He's not getting the press as TMac or even Horn, but he is making plays. That's the other deal, Im a big fan of his!  Just in order to get great value you need to give value in return. I said he would have been a 3rd rounder in 2025 draft, he just had bad luck with injuries hurting his stock and coming out in a deep WR class.  
    • I've always said that PFF is a tool. If you don't know how to use it, or don't want to know how to use it, then it's useless. But some people actually do know how to use it---which is why it still exists and is used by all 32 NFL teams---and part of this is putting it all within context----seeing the bigger picture. If you don't understand that not all players, develop at the same rate, have different levels of talent, have injuries that affect their play, and face different circumstances in regards to the opposition and coaching, for example, then I don't know what to tell you. Coaches set expectations based upon a variety of things, not only last year's stat sheet, which may have been brought about by dynamics that you, as a fan, may or may not understand. And even if you have some understanding of them, as a fan, you still will never have the clarity that they do---the concerns or the context that they do. As a fan, you should even be putting your lack of understanding their context, into context (and stop trying to act like you know something to be true based upon a bad season at the end of the day).
