Carolina Panthers NOT interested in Hard Knocks HBO series


Recommended Posts

As a fan, I'd love to see it. That show gives viewers a chance to see the franchise in a more real way and in a way that they don't normally get to see it. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to be a fly on the wall of Marty Hurney's or Ron Rivera's office, then you'd get your chance. The show seems remarkably candid given the status of contemporary reality tv which only adds to its value for me. I love hearing the Mic'd Up segments because you get to hear what players actually say and talk about during a game. Hard Knocks is like Mic'd Up on steroids.

But, I can see why the Panthers wouldn't be interested and that seems to me, objectively, to be the best move. Talk about media scrutiny, if they were to be on that show, every little thing would be blown out of proportion. I can't see the players even wanting to go along with that, much less the brass.

I'd love to see Detroit. I am really liking what they've been doing the past few years. If they continue, they will be a force in 1 or 2 years. If they concentrate heavy on the OL they will have a complete, but young team that can grow together.

I for one hope we can follow their model but feel we were way ahead of them as they truly started from scratch as we were mostly there.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
