Yeah it is the concerts. 
 

Didn’t he put grass in for some big dog soccer players and then take it right back out? That would piss me off if I were on the football team. 

Chelsea wouldn't show up otherwise.

Not being a soccer fan, I wouldn’t miss them. But yeah I thought I remembered it. 
That is tacky, treating your own NFL team like 2nd class to a  visiting soccer team.

Yes, he did it at the request of european football teams like Chelsea who refuse to put their player safety at risk, yet he won't do it for his own teams.

I like seeing the high scores and the low scores seems like an easy fix

I would say that yeah the high scores are for the most important things. The hardest things to get right.

Glad to see some of the high scores here, but it is irritating to see some of these be so low. Like travel, no reason to not be best in class here. Make it a selling point how well you do the "other" stuff that the players shouldn't have to even think about. 

I agree with addressing stuff like that in a 1st class manner.
How bad could the travel be though? Are they not chartering?

Pretty sure. I’m pretty sure one of the beat reporters mentioned before that everyone flies together. I’m wondering if it has something to do with hotel/curfew. Maybe last year (maybe this one idk) I remember it being said in an interview that Canales and Morgan are very strict on the curfew and keeping everyone together in the hotel. Maybe that’s it?

Maybe. Just reacting quickly on 1st thought,  I feel like why would Dan and Dave get their high scores if they were the bad guys iin a curfew scenario. 
 

 It would be nice to know. I wonder if they want better hotels, busses, for that matter someone makes them wear a suit or tie and they hate it. No way for me to know I guess I am just yelling at clouds.

Its a pay wall but the whole list is out. 
 

I’m not sure how to take the coach/GM evaluations for teams that cleaned house after the season. 
There are some good grades for apparently fired people, or newly hired people. Someone tell me which.

Analysis/snips from https://lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2026/03/02/panthers-nflpa-report-card-2026/#google_vignette

comparing 2025 to 2026's report card:  perception inside the building improved.

  • 97% of players feel the head coach is efficient with their time
  • 97% report receiving individualized strength plans
  • 89% say they receive enough one-on-one treatment from training staff

Those are championship-level internal numbers. The football operation is stabilizing.

Only 55% of players feel they have adequate personal space on flights, ranking 29th league-wide. That is a sharp decline from previous years when travel conditions were graded B-minus.

The facility grades were more about adequate space rather than the quality of the equipment. Need more weights, more tub space, space in general.  ((( the rock hill facility would have addressed all that )))

The Panthers are trending upward, and for the first time in years, that momentum feels organizational, not accidental.

Ownership’s grade rising from D-minus to B-minus reflects real growth. Players now rate perceived willingness to invest significantly higher than the 6.12/10 average from prior years. That suggests trust is being rebuilt inside the building.

The locker room believes more.
The coaching staff is aligned.
The development systems are strong.

There is cultural momentum.

But culture alone doesn’t sustain a winning infrastructure.

Trust must now translate into tangible upgrades. If ownership invests aggressively in facilities, resolves the turf issue, and continues empowering football leadership, then 23rd becomes a stepping stone. If not, it becomes the ceiling.

Because in the NFL, belief builds momentum.

But investment builds champions.

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
