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.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      If it’s all the same to you guys, I’d like to use this thread for Tuesday nights game as well to keep this hate going. I have a feeling Tuesday vs the panthers is going to be violent in that arena.    @LinvilleGorgecan you please add “and Tuesday” to the game thread?  They play the Panthers again Tuesday. Thank you sir!

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      Nobody on the huddle is saying we have an elite group offensively across the board. They aren't great. They're young. If you are expecting someone to agree with your position of blaming everyone around Bryce Young nearly three full seasons into his career you are going to be left holding the bag save for a handful of people who act like they are paid to defend his honor. Bryce Young is not a guy who has had to claw and fight his way into starting jobs in football. He's had the best to work with and been gifted roles since he was a teenager. The Panthers have one of the youngest rosters in the league and with us needing an infusion of young defensive talent in the upcoming draft we're only going to get younger. We need a QB who possesses the ability to elevate those around him. If you can't agree with me on that then there's nothing further to discuss.

      All Bryce and the Panthers had to do was split with the Saints and a rookie QB. The bar was so low. They even had a whole bye week to prepare. The time for singing kumbaya was before that game. Anyone still talking about Bryce earning a second contract 43 games into his career is living a fantasy. He might get one from the Tepper owned Panthers but he's damn sure not earned it.
