regardless where you sit on the fence,if you think the panthers are rebuilding,or if you think the panthers have upgraded at alot of positions like i think. the one thing i think we can all agree on is that this preseason is going to be the best ever for the panthers. so many starting jobs are up for grabs.defensive line,defensive end,linebacker,right guard, wide reciever depth chart,qb depth chart,punt and kick returns.there will be battles all over the field. these usually boring preseason games are going to be filled with excitment,and i cant wait to see every rookie on the field. this is going to be an awesome preseason.armanti edwards and eric norwood and greg hardy are the guys i cant wait to check out

one thing I love about this pre-season is that John Fox can't give the team his usual breaks and cut TC short. He's always cut TC short even when it looked like the team was executing poorly. I've never liked that. The teams reward should be winning. Seeing as how JR loves to emulate the Steelers I don't see why we don't practice all the time.

I don't like the concept of rewarding hard work by not making them work hard.

yeah i agree john fox especially last season made it camp cupcake. and he usually breaks ota's and training camp early. i dont know if the nfl has a maximum number of practices allowed,i think they do,but john fox should go to the max this season.i know last season us and the giants started tc later than everybody because we played the last preseason game of the first round of preseason games and you have to have so many practices before that first game

      See this is the problem, you say "can't get off the line quick" and "can't separate quick" but in reality it's "he can get off the line better and create more separation" which are two completely different things. If he couldn't get off the line or separate, he wouldn't have put up the numbers he did and end up a Top 10 pick. But he can get better, and maybe more accurately, consistent with them both, and that will take his game to the next level.  These are things that are also much easier to improve once you get to the NFL than things like being a poor route runner or having bad hands, two of his strengths. Thinking he can't get open in the short passing game also shows you haven't watched enough tape on him, as he was used in that role so much in college with little issue getting open and making plays. And him not using his physicality as much isn't even something that hurts his game because he's so much more agile than a player of his size should be, which he used to his advantage.  Instead of throwing passes where he'd go up and box out a player like a TE or Mike Evans does, they use his athleticism and put the ball in places that only he can get to it, and he usually does (and yes, he'll still be able to do that against NFL DB's with his catch radius). But now that he's in the NFL, I'd like to see him get stronger and add that to his game because it also will help him take his game to another level. As I've said before, if he doesn't improve on those things at all, I think he's a Top 25 WR in this league, he's already that good.  But I think he'll improve on those things and be a perennial Top 10 WR and in his prime is considered and perform like Top 5 guy in some years. My expectations for him this year at 800 yards and 8 TDs (although I do think he'll get to 10 TDs) with a real chance at getting to 1,000.  But those expectations are because I think Thielen will lead the team in yards with close to 1k and XL/Coker each end up in the 500-600 range themselves, just too many mouths to feed this year for a rookie to dominate yardage, especially if we're running the ball well again. But if Thielen can't stay healthy or puts up sub 750 yards, then yea, my expectations for T-Mac likely shift to getting to 1k as a rookie.

      Svech only 1 goal behind the guy they've pretty much already given the Conn Smythe to...
