Facilities are like everything else in professional franchise sports. Just win and the amenities take care of themselves. No team ever lost a football game because their locker room wasn’t state of the art. If luxury is a motivating factor for onfield performance, there are bigger problems at play than how many ice baths are available.

Right..because not every player needs a ice bath to heal themself....we dont have enough so just suck it up and go out their next game and try your best not to get hurt. An stacked up IR list never hurt no team trying to win....

it doesnt matter so much about the wins and losses....its about providing a proper up to date environment for the players to train and and prepare for games like every other team. You bring up players and superbowls but how much of that has the team consistently accomplished since the inception? It aint a lot and right now we are the worst team in the last the couple years compared to other teams who have these things in place. Also players who are free agents factor things like this in their decision making when choosing teams, they really care how the organization is ran and what they have.... thats something you might want to keep in mind when bring up management and roster lol

The Richardson era Panthers had more success than lots of teams that had been around for decades longer.  

KC is the best team in the NFL right now.  They have subpar equipment facilities. 

l’ll start caring about our equipment when they can field a a respectable football team.  Free agents care about paychecks. End of the day no FA is going to sign here because of our steam room.

It’s 2024.  Panthers don’t have a shortage of things their players need.  Theilen isn’t short and missing out on what he needs.  We are talking luxury at this stage.  Cool and new.

Thielen is just mad because hopefully Dan and Dave threw out that stupid ping pong table. It's so infuriating after watching the team get blown out by 30 and hearing guys laughing and joking playing ping pong in the background of a press conference.

Do you work in the building?

I feel safe to assume Theilen can get in an ice tub if he needs one.  

again, it’s 2024 and the NFL.  The new state of art facilities are about luxury and having the latest and greatest.   Which is all cool.  I’d rather have than not have.  But let’s not pretend like the Panthers players are being mistreated.

Panthers players through NFLPA do a report card.  The complaint in Carolina is the food and cafeteria.  

Plenty of opposing players gave their teams training rooms and weight rooms Ds and Fs.  Carolina players went Bs. So it doesn’t really jive with Theilen’s view that the Panthers got it the worst.

worst in what way? don’t have enough options in the coffee maker? corn pops keep running out?

Their facilities are the stadium, weight room, treatment center, offices for coaches are actually inside the stadium. Panthers don't have what are now called "performance centers" like most other franchises.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
