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

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      An odd little vibe I've noticed here of late: some folks are "all or nothing" to an absolutely extreme level when it comes to Bryce. There are, in fact, things Bryce does well. Likewise, there are areas in which he's improved over his time here. He has, on several occasions now, legitimately helped us win games. On the flipside, there have been failures in other areas as well as coaching that we're not in any way his fault.  And finally , it is also genuinely possible that the team may see him as the future, even if we don't. The craziest part, though? It's actually possible that they're right and we're wrong. All of this is true, and more, yet if you accept any of these premises people go from zero to apesh-t in under three seconds 😳 Anything less than total disavowal of Bryce and / or agreement that he's the worst QB of all time and suddenly you're a "stan". Oy 🙄 The reality though?  Bryce is indeed an NFL quarterback. Not a great one, probably backup level good, and I've seen way worse. Now, if you run that statement through your personal Google translator and it comes back with some version of "I want to throw 50 million a year at Bryce for the next 10 years", that's not really my issue it's yours  I don't wanna make him the franchise quarterback, but it's not my call. Win or lose, the team is going to do what they think is best. And as always, if it disagrees with what I think we should do, I'm gonna hope I'm the one who's wrong. Internet clout means nothing. Watching my favorite team win at my favorite sport meas fun 😁

      I like Icky but he was the wrong tackle to take. Learning run blocking is much easier than learning pass blocking. Cross was pass pro ready. He was the tackle we should have taken without hesitation.
