Oh, we're going to get one of those now? That's by far the most exciting news of the off-season!

Come on..

When have you had a problem or heard anything bad about the Panthers medical, nutrition, or weight staff??

I'll wait..

Giants kicker Graham Gano, who was with Carolina from 2012 to 2019, called out the Panthers this week for mishandling an injury he suffered in 2018. Gano says that the team misdiagnosed a left leg injury that ultimately cost him the entire 2019 campaign.

“It was potentially career-ending,” said Gano, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. “That whole thing was mismanaged. They told me I had one injury when it was actually a lot worse than that. What really needed to be fixed wasn’t. I shouldn’t have missed the full season I did. But there’s no changing it now, so I’m just thankful to be playing here [in New York].”

The former Pro Bowler suffered a fractured left femur and did not recover until he underwent knee surgery in 2019 after getting a second opinion at New York’s Hospital for Special Surgery. Gano also says that his departure from the Panthers was frustrating because they cut him without giving him a chance to kick again after he got healthy.

Stop.. 1 player in how many years...

And let's not forget teams use to send their players to see our foot specialist before he retired..

Reality check this team hasn't had major issues with the medical, weight or nutrition staff..

So there is no reason to invent reason to be worried about??

Shaq has been able to gain weight and keep his speed.. So did TD, Mario Addison, M Hayes and many other players who needed to gain or maintain weight related issues..

Also let give credit to Tepper for 1 thing.. For his investment in technology, equipment and analytics concern training pro athletes..

You asked. I answered. I could've talked about TD's ACLs, Beason put on the field with a duct taped together ACchilles, Cam playing with a torn rotator cuff in his throwing shoulder on a team out of the playoff race. There's ton of examples.

TD Acl was freak injuries on the field.. They didn't happen because he didn't get enough training or was to heavy for his body to handle.. Also give credit for the staff getting him back 3x from career ending injuries for that time..

Beason and Cam choose to play with those injuries..  Let's remember Cam apprehension to getting surgery for anything isn't the staff fault...

There's tons of example the other way as well...

But again let's give some credit for Tepper making a significant investment in all these departments..

You asked. I answered. You were real cocky with you "I'll wait..."

Now you're just spamming excuses.

Got you.. But until now and (we've known each other a few years now on here) ..

You haven't ever posted having a major issues with the medical or training staff.. So why make it one now??

Not sure what you're talking about. I've always hammered the Panthers about how the TD, Beason, and Cam injury situations were handled.

Okay cool.. I didn't see a big movement of opinions against our training staff..

But if you've always had a issue with the training and medical staff okay..

I haven't so agree to disagree..

As he gets older he is naturally going to put on weight.. So I like the fact he will do it under the supervision of a pro staff..

Yeah, I made the comment off the cuff without actually looking at him. He's definitely built like a DE.

This is what I was thinking. With that speed and athleticism he wouldn't really need to put on weight to play linebacker. 

he has great size and speed to shut down a TE who peels off on a crossing route

[Peppers90 NC]

Fug it, put him at WR

[poundaway]

As I was thinking about what we're missing at this point, I wonder how much they hope to use this guy this year.  Is this guy a sleeper?  That spin move looks NFL caliber.   With Burns to mentor him, I  wonder if he gets some snaps at Edge this year.  I find this pick intriguing.

I'm not giving Tepper credit for a damn thing until this team can win 6 games in a single season.
