The whole team could drop with injuries and Tepper still wouldnt switch to grass.

And if he switched to grass, when the players get the same injuries, the fans will say it's now just bad luck.

Yes, grass is more forgiving, but there have been tons of teams, not to mention most high schools and colleges that have Turf and you don't hear people say the same thing there.

Injuries overall are just up because the sport gets more physical every year, and I think players push themselves TOO much, particularly in the offseason, and the increased strength/muscle that players have now vs 20+ years ago, limits flexibility and is a bigger cause of today's injuries than the playing surfaces.

Just think about teams like the Lions, Cowboys, Vikings, etc that back in the day played on those astroturf fields on top of cement flooring.  If those weren't causing more injuries back then, I really don't think the playing surface these days is to blame.

If the rumors were true about him helping Bryce in the huddle, I wonder if that could be responsible in part for how the passing offense has looked at the start of the season. 

Maybe, but I also wonder if having almost an entirely different group of receivers than he did last year has a little bit to do with it.  Our starters against Atlanta in the last game last year were Thielen, Coker, and Legette with Moore coming in.   

Legette is struggling, and might be gone after this season if things don't turn around. Coker is out, and Thielen is gone.  TMac is a big improvement, but still a rookie.  Renfrow and Young just look out of sync.  If they can get in sync and Coker comes back, we could see an improvement.

I wish we had Thielen right about now. 

I mean I HAVE to assume he requested a trade even though either party won't outright say it. They put Coker on IR right afterward. So why do that AND trade Thielen AFTER cutting Renfrow? Goofy stuff.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
