Jake and Steve are involved, if you count his time as a position coach probably more. Staff and scouts are your thing so I'll defer to you on that. It's a small world especially when it comes to 32 football teams in a country of hundreds of millions of people

Jake and Steve wouldn't be in any position to influence personnel decisions. The front office is mostly turned over except for maybe Jeff Morrow who probably isn't that influential anymore.

Deac is right about Morgan, but I still wouldn't see this as nepotism (KSpan is right there).

Regardless, it's just a tryout opportunity to make it to the camp roster. I wouldn't bet on him making it to the final roster.

Here's what I'll say about Austin Proehl - he has a lot of his father in his game.  But he's just not talented enough.  Would Ricky have been as successful in the 2023 NFL versus the game 20 years ago?   Even then, he was a WR4-5.  Someone who could play, but not a game changer.

Best of luck to him!  It's a nice story, but I'm not placing any wagers on him.  Then again, he could surprise everyone.

It certainly would be a surprise, a big surprise. if Austin Proehl made the team in any form or fashion.

If a player is 27 years old and still trying to make an NFL team for the first time, the odds against success would have to be almost overwhelming.

You should go into politics.

I never understood the Brenton Bersin hate.  I know he was nothing special, but he was just a kid trying to make it.  He caught everything thrown his way.  I like pulling for guys like that.  Much better than pulling for someone that never lived up to his potential talent.

I understand why. If you remember correctly when he played, most of the time when his name was mentioned on here it was usually followed with his skin color. Its a reality some will not admit to but not the full reason either. Some of the other reasons I think included somehow his family's ties to Jerry and how the theory was that he was given the roster spot because somehow the Bersin family must have had some sort of dirt on ole Jerry like they knew his favorite website to whack his doodle to or something incriminating. He also had a couple flubs returning punts and people never forgot that. All three of those together got him lots of hate and smart comments. He did catch most of everything thrown his way but he was definitely replaceable and eventually was even if Brenton's grandpappy knew how many times Jerry shuffled his old dusty chicken to Two Girls And a Cup and threatened to tell the world.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By CamWhoaaCam · Posted

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!

      You do know the biggest military base in the US is located just an hour from Raleigh in Fort Bragg right? Military families are family oriented. A hour drive to games is nothing compared to traveling 3 hours to Charlotte.   Cmon man there is nothing happening in Western Carolina other than Charlotte. I only go west for outdoor activities and some nature/mountain views.
