I think the 7 straight losing seasons, the campaign to reduce fan interest during training camp and the lightspeed stupid decision to start charging for Fan Fest took a toll.

I only knew part of this. Good lord that’s dumb

Tepper brought us Motley Crue doing hair metal karaoke and concerts with double headliners Bryce Bentley and Bentley Bryce doing their hits "My Truck Ain't Fancy" and "She Ain't Fancy" though.

It’s fan fest, people get food and drinks and stuff. You expect everyone to be glued to their seats like it’s the playoffs?

Oh, so the entire upper bowl was grabbing a beer?  In year's past at least some of the upper bowl had fans and the lower bowl was packed.

Bryce threw an absolute perfect pass on a rope from 45 yards out to the end zone and XL dropped it.  It may have been PI but I still think he must get better at reeling those in this year.  

I fear that XL just sucks and will be a bust. But Tet and Coker can make it so that wouldn’t matter

The 5 dollars for a ticket is not new and the decision at the time wasn't stupid. I think it was 2015 or 2016 and more people showed up then the stadium could hold with the way they set up fireworks but it was just show up no questions asked like it had always been and that was fine until 70,000 fuging people showed up. Then the next year you had to have a ticket but you could sign up free. They were snagged up and held for ransom and no one showed to fanfest because they didn't want to pay for something that was given away for free. Then they came up with the 5 dollars that I believe is donated to charity. It's not perfect because people still try to resale them but it's far from stupid. We no longer have the demand problem so they could go back to just allowing everyone in for free but as soon as the Panthers are good again they'd have the issue

Okay. I haven't been in years so I was under the assumption it was new. I didn't realize it was a decade old.

He has been doing a lot, looks great physically and explosive. There was plenty of videos of him practicing routes and this was a great one. But he needs to get better at catching under duress. 

Yeah I have zero concerns on him besides catching the ball. Unfortunately that’s a very large part of it

Thanks for posting! I was wondering why there wasn’t a thread! Anyone from the huddle go? Have any observations? I live out of state and so always appreciate getting to read highlights from training camp. It is the Hopeful time of year. 

Sorry mang, I drove back from Orlando yesterday otherwise I would've created a thread and posted highlights. Still haven't gotten a chance to catch up on the action myself, but I might go ahead and do so.

It'd at least be more productive than bitching about the team and pretending that any contribution would've been made if they hadn't been bad the last few seasons. 😛

I mean, given the general lack of threads being started at all, I don't think we need to do that level of housekeeping yet.

Lol seriously we had a thread about Coker being traded for Lloyd go 14 pages and get locked. We are good with new threads with actual content.

      I think Indiana will win it all but Miami should give them a much better fight than Oregon did.

      If you need some ‘chills’ to start your Friday….

      When I tell people I was at that game, they usually say oh that’s so cool you had the experience. I call it soul crushing. Why? The weeks and months leading up to it were great, the team was fun to watch every week…some weeks the offense was unstoppable and carried the team (saints and giants road games), other times the defense carried the load (jaguars, tampa). Lots of back and forth games against good teams (Seattle and Indy). Good young players on the team, but the veteran leadership was incredible…from Cam, Olsen, Kalil and J Stew to Luke, TD, Norman, Tillman, Jared Allen, CJ. Role players like Fozzy Whitaker, Cotchery (he caught that MFer), Philly brown, Kyle love, AJ Klein, and so on.  The Friday before the nfc championship my wife and I after a few drinks said let’s see what prices look like for flights/accommodations and we got to talking about how much prices would increase if we waited until we found out if we would be in the big game. We said screw it, we are only out $200 if we have to cancel.  Of course we come out and just pulverized the cardinals in front of the most raucous crowd by far we’ve ever had. We had no idea what we would do for game tickets and then found out a neighbor who worked for the team could get us 2 for face value (each employee got two of their own for free, something cool that JR did).  But then the NFL mafia decided that the storyline of manning going out on top like Elway would give them more goodwill than a non traditional QB who didn’t connect with their target demo and the rest is history. I never have and never will watch that game again. I am just hoping I can see them win one in the 2nd half of my life.
