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.

    • 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.
