Not many can go to camp to see things firsthand and the team (NFL as a whole, teally) is attempting to be the only real source of TC information. What else should be here?

I think that’s his point.  The appearance being that the interest/excitement in our own team is so low that after a week of TC the hot topics are TB12 and DW?  

It doesn’t bother me, personally.  TC and preseason were always the salad and breadsticks to the regular season main course.  It’ll work to hold you over, but don’t fill up.

That's my point though - how many actual hot topics are there that haven't already been beaten to death, particularly with TC content being throttled by the team?

TC has started I thought that was when it became Panthers only here.

Borderline. Right now not a whole lot of info coming out so it's stuff to talk about.

We don't have a NFL general discussion forum at the moment so by default it falls in here. 

As the season nears starting and preseason games played, I doubt we'll see it like this much. All depends on where the most interesting discussion stems from. Might not be the Panthers 100% of the time.

I’m with ya.  Finite topics to discuss, months of dead time.  Not a good recipe for engaging content.  Thus, the folks over on Mint and Moorehead decided to be the gatekeepers of TC content.

Yea I'm really not sure what the point of being so hush hush about letting fans have more access to training camp this year outside of what the team provides.    It seems especially weird because this regime has in my opinion seemed to provide more access with most things before this.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
