So, something to talk about thats different since its been so dead this year...

Read online today that Tampa declined to do hard knocks for HBO. IF there is a Hard Knocks this year do you think Carolina has a chance to be on it? Think about it...

-We had the #1 overall pick that is a QB that won the heisman, we took a QB last year that was the "most pro ready" QB, which will hopefully be a "qb battle".

-New and first time HC. Tough mentality that has had great success being a DC in SD and Chicago.

-Owner that has gotten bad PR because of the lockout, showing him and our GM in Hard Knocks making decisions etc.

-Vet WR that has had rumors about wanting out, showing his connection with new QB's etc giving us a side of how smith really is at TC and with younger qb/wr

I think it would be good, but what does everyone think?

BS, you'd watch it if they gave it to us. Do I want us to go out and beg for it?? hell no. If they asked would I say yes?...maybe, maybe not.
aside from a couple episodes early on, i haven't watched any of it. mainly because it was a joke and it made the team they were doing look like it was run and played by a bunch of drama queens. seriously...i wouldn't watch it. i like the panthers too much.

not all attention is good attention.

I won't say I'll never want the Panthers to be on hard knocks.

But this is not the season. Way too big of a distraction for a Rookie QB, Rookie Head Coach, Lockout, etc.

After Newton and Rivera are established and prove they can win in this league, then maybe it would be a good idea, but not this season, and probably not the next.

With that said, I don't see it happening.

This would be more great exposure for the Panthers. I initially thought if asked that the Panthers would decline as well, but with the noticeable change in front office philosophy it would not suprise me one bit if we would accepted it, if the opportunity happened to arise.

Anyone calling Hard Knocks a big team distraction or "dumb reality tv" probably doesn't have HBO and obviously never watched the show. I am sure if Cam Newton could deal with all the media garbage he brought upon himself last season while winning the National Championship, I don't question if he could handle a few more cameras out on the field during training camp.

it's an opportunity to get an inside look at your favorite team...you get a glimpse into the personalities of the players you cheer for...as a fan i don't know why you wouldn't want your team to be on the show...i don't buy that it's a distraction

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd edited to be more clear where he was ahead of league average, but realize it was easily missed, sorry.  I do hope he falls off a cliff production wise because if he actually continues at this pace it's highly likely the TDs come and then he'll be a real problem. Anyway, to the stats... Shough is substantially better than the average in completion percentage, YPG, and INT% (68% vs 64.4% and 237 vs 215 and 1.7 vs 2.2). He is pretty close to the average in Y/A (7.14 vs 7.1) and rating (91.63 vs 91.8). He is a bit below the average in TDs per game (1.3 vs ~1.5, which is hard to average exactly due to the number of players that are part of this stat), QBR (51.54 vs 54.7) and quite a bit below in TD% (3% vs 4.7%). In advanced stats, he's above the league average in intended air yards/attempt (8.1 v 7.7) and on target % (76.8 vs 74.6), while barely below is in bad throw % (16.1 vs 16.0). This jives with what I've seen - decent young player, playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter, on a bad team. I've always said (and this is true of Bryce too, I even mentioned it this year) that I am less concerned with 30+ yard bombs than consistency at 15+ yards, because you need to be able to threaten past the sticks. Shough is doing that. Vs us in week 15 he had ~one third of his passes 15ish or more yards and he was money on them, and that wasn't really an exception, he has had some nice throws outside of that.  All that said, dude is just super new to the league, and once film gets out, if he does have limitations they will be exploited. No way he can get OROTY. And thanks for the kind words - I am prone to hyperbole at times, but I'm also just impressed by Shough. We'll see if he can keep it up (I hope not, unless the Saints randomly trade him lol)

      To be fair, going from 2 wins, to 5 wins, to 8 wins at least is a pretty big positive no matter how insufferably miserable a select handful in this group want to make everything.

      Yeah Moore is definitely going to be a problem.  I remember he was the favorite for our job at one point in time.
