Carolina Panthers training camp starts this week. Here is a little of what you can expect.

 

Players check in on Tuesday. Media will be there to conduct interviews and get the obligatory shots of the guys moving into the Wofford dorms. Expect a big amount of fluff but some fun stuff as well. 

 

The first practice is Wednesday morning. It will look and feel a lot like the OTA practices as pads are not allowed to be worn until the 4th day per the CBA. So that would mean the earliest pads go on would be Saturday, which happens to also be the Panthers kickoff party. So you may want to plan on attending that.

It probably won't be until closer to the end of camp, but I'll be nervous every day we're practicing on the far fields. It seems like we lose someone to an ACL every year on that practice field.

I was there the day a safety broke his hip bone in TC.  You could literally hear it snap.  The screaming was heart-wrenching. It was Charles Godfrey or Dion Grant, I can't remember...

I'm not 100% certain they will be practicing anywhere but Gibbs stadium this year. Not sure.

I was there in the 2016 training camp when TD and Ryan were going at it in a drill and Kalil hurt his shoulder. Outside of my posting about it, I don’t remember much news on it. That was the start of the end for him. He missed 18 games in 2016/2017 and gutted out 2018 before finishing missing 9 games in his last year. That was the start of the OL injury fest of 2016. I knew it was bad because Kalil was off by himself with the trainer on the far field and TD ran over to check on him again after a bit. I think he missed the rest of the pre-season and started week 1, but only made it 6 full weeks and then played 1 more partial game.

I looked it up; it was Grant back in rookie season in 2000.  They thought he would never play another down in football. Luckily he made it a back and had a decent career playing for several different teams. 

Yeah, training camp injuries suck and we are due for one or more every camp; one of which is usually a starter.  KK was last year.  Ryan had a pretty clean injury history until then and was never the same afterwards.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
