i never understood why we care who is out on the field first. what's the point?

Just shows initiative, if you are trying to earn a spot (even if it’s a practice squad spot) and it’s down to you and another guy and the decision is split down the middle between the coaching staff… well I like your chances better than the guy who came out last.

Has practice started yet? News is so slow now. Tepper?

It was like this last year. They really clamped down on media coverage and the team media doesn’t report much.

no coach ever in history said, "this guys is out on the field 4 minutes ahead of the other, he gets the spot." 

that's not a reason except amongst fans following tweets from media.

It’ll be interesting to see if Mayfield continues to take snaps from Bozeman while operating with the first team RB’s and WR’s or if he is with Elflein today.

I don’t understand how the starting center on a team far superior to us is not a lock to be the starter on our team

I mean I coach at the HS level and I’ve interned under one of the coaches currently on our coaching staff… while your quote has never been said when determining cuts, the word initiative has been said countless times when determining cuts. I’d rather keep the player that shows up early and runs off the field than the player who shows up late and walks off the field if all other things are considered equal.

in the unlikely case you can't decide between two players, i'd really hope they would just have it decided by a foot race or three cone. giving it to the guy that puts his pads on and his shoes faster is just asinine to me.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
