Props to 89bottomline for his comment that this upcoming season will probably be one of the most exciting training camps Carolina has ever had.

I know I'm one of the few people outside of NC who gives a damn about Carolina, and the Jets are the new hotness but seriously what is their Hard Knocks going to be about? Rex Ryan lost 10lbs? LT realizing he's too old and relinquishing his 1 status to Shonn Green. Kris Jenkins coming back from injury, “again!” Revis is unhappy with his contract? Some wide receiver from the Steelers who can’t even play for six games? Mark Sanchez’s sophomore year…..BORING!!!

On the other hand we have a Coach who might possibly be in a lame duck year trying to rally a bunch of rookies after their quarterback had one of the worst implosions in recent history and was subsequently cut on the same day that one of the most talented Defensive players in the league signed with the Bears.

We have another undrafted QB taking the helm who has only started in 8 games his entire career and usually sucks in practice competing with a guy with a cannon for an arm and too very well known college rookies.

Our best receiver will most likely be out for the entirety or training camps after breaking his arm in controversial fashion so just about every wide receiver spot will be up for grabs during camp.

We don’t know who are starting TE will be (ok probably King just cause). We have position battles at FB, DE, DT, RG, KR/PR, literally every special team slot, 3rd Running back, WSLB or MLB depending what happens there.

We have 2 relatively new safeties, a new Strong Side Linebacker. No one on the team is getting big money because of a possible holdout over everyone’s head.

The Drama is Palpable!!!

I know Jerry would probably never agree to do Hard Knocks but if it had happened this year I would have honestly creamed my pants. Still jealous of all you guys who get to go to watch camp.

The Panthers are the last team you'd find on Hard Knocks. You listed all of the reasons that New York got it. Even if you don't find it interesting, you've got to realize that most of America will. Most of America, on the other hand, could care less about the players battling for special teams spots on the Panthers, or our relatively no-name wide receiving corps.

The only battle I could see the rest of America caring about is the quarterback competition, but we all know that Moore is going to start the season.

No body outside of the Carolina fanbase cares. The Jets ARE interesting, believe it or not... for all the reasons you mentioned.

lol dude.... a small market team will never get hard knocks regardless... look at all the teams that have gotten it so far... cowboys will get 3 more hard knocks before we ever get one... if we ever do. that is a guarantee

i'm sure they schedule these things well in advance. likely before the draft if not during the previous season. our QB situation, likely the only interesting thing going on with our team outside of the fanbase, isn't enough to land us the gig. although, it might make it interesting in the next year or two as not only clausen might actually put real pressure on moore for the job but also our RB dream team won't last forever. i'd love to see us get it in the next year or two. maybe just in time to see jarett get cut.

I fully understand why we are not on this show, but there is no reason why the NFL can not expand its TV market.

NFL network should expand to each NFL city.

Work a deal out with cable providers similar to the red zone. An NFL Panthers channel, that also still shows all of the NFL Network shows.

They could totally do this during the off-season.

I would much rather see our training camp then fuggin CANADIAN FOOTBALL!!

I don't think Fox would ever allow it to begin with in his locker room and film room. He has a real disdain for media.

Richardson wouldn't want it either. I think that truly is the biggest oppsticle. You won't see a Hard Knocks in Carolina as long as Richardson is around.

The biggest obstacle is that there are about 20 other teams HBO would rather cover than the Panthers. Get over it.

      Would you trade Derrick Brown to get a top QB prospect?

      Sadly, I’ve talked with a lot of my fellow alumni and Heel fans, and I’ve said, sadly, UNC is in the same exact position with Gio as the Panthers are with Bryce.  And the way the situations mirror each other are EERIE.  I’ve said here repeatedly how whoever Bryce’s personal team is that conned an NFL front office into taking him as a first round pick, let alone the #1 overall pick, deserve to retire off whatever money he’s made due to their efforts.  This poo would make Chauncey Billups’ crime bosses blush.🤣. Same for Gio.  Whoever he has around him, representing him, that convinced a power 4 school to pay this MF MILLIONS of dollars at the college level coming from Southwest Alabama Technical Basket Weaving School for the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind University, just to come make the whole rest of the UNC squad look like absolute poo is a fuging amazing sell.  I’m talking Tai Lopez level scam poo.  And for both to con their way to their position at their respective levels of competition, only to get there and be so clearly the worst piece on their team while simultaneously play the most important position on the field - I’ve never seen anything like it.  And what’s worse, in both cases, the organization chooses to keep putting them out there in large part because of ego and investment made.  And all they keep doing is making the rest of the team look fuging atrocious.  They both literally hold the entire team back by their presence alone.  And as an aside, Lopez may have the slowest fuging release I have ever witnessed in my life.  In talking slower and longer than fuging The Golden Calf of Bristol.🤣🤣🤣
