Panthers for 'Hard Knocks'? Doubt it

It'll never happen, but how many of you guys would like to see us on Hard Knocks?

Our friends over at Cat Scratch Reader are throwing out the idea that maybe the Carolina Panthers should be a candidate for HBO’s “Hard Knocks’’ this summer.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers already turned down an offer to be featured on the show, saying they want to keep their attention focused on the field.

Could Carolina be a candidate? Well, the Panthers have some compelling storylines. They have a big-name rookie quarterback in Cam Newton. Some vocal and entertaining players in Jon Beason, DeAngelo Williams and Steve Smith (if he’s still with the team).

Getting national attention also might not be a bad idea for a team that’s coming off a 2-14 season. But I think this one might be a long shot.

There’s no way the Panthers would consider opening their doors to camera crews if John Fox were still coaching this team. Fox is gone and the climate in the building has changed in a lot of ways. General manager Marty Hurney and owner Jerry Richardson came to the conclusion that they’re now in a quarterback-driven league and that’s why they drafted Newton.

Hurney and Richardson are more open-minded about a lot of things these days. But there’s one thing I don’t believe has changed. Hurney and Richardson aren’t attention seekers. In fact, they’re almost a little shy with the media. I can’t quite see them suddenly developing the urge to open up their training camp to the world.

By the way, I saw a few reports that the New Orleans Saints were in the mix as a fall-back option about a month ago when it seemed like the Bucs were the front-runners for “Hard Knocks’’. I ran that one by somebody with the Saints and was told that’s not going to happen.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Woukd be a great addition You know the issues from my prespective, 2 things the Panthers must do 1. Edge or pass rushers or 2 oline or 3 oline or as Andy Reid says, when in doubt, draft a lineman it is time   That oline is troubling plus a small person at QB  they   1. Can do a lot better than mayes at center, 2. and lewis has had injuries all season. 3. Moton should not have  been resigned long term, 4. corbett is a shadow and will probably be released  5 and Christianson coming off Achilles   6 and the kicker, would be Ickey’s contract if they decide to keep him INMO rookie and contracts will be needed to offset all that
