Comments from Carolina Panthers Head Coach Ron Rivera following the team's training camp practice.

On the Panthers' first practice: I was thrilled. I was very pleased with what happened today. We had an early morning workout today, and it kind of gave us an opportunity to go through the motions of how we needed to practice. I was pleased with the tempo. We did some good things, a little bit better than we did this morning. So I think it's a positive in the right direction, but we've got a long way to go.

On the competition at quarterback and how it will benefit the team: I think it's a good competition and it's going to benefit us because of the fact that these guys have got to push one another. As I told these guys, we're going to play the guys that are ready to play. And that's the bottom line for all of our positions. Guys that are ready to play, that know how to play - they will play.

On if he had an opportunity to watch rookie quarterback Cam Newton: Yes we did. I had an opportunity to stand back. It's a little different, I'm watching the offensive side a little bit more. But it was good to watch the quarterbacks. I thought they (Newton and Jimmy Clausen) both had their moments and I thought they both made mistakes that most certainly need correcting. But, again, it was good to watch these guys work and compete. It was also good to watch some of our other players stand out and do some good things for us.

On if it was just good to watch any football after the last few months: Yeah, it was. It really was a good opportunity for us to watch our guys. And that's the biggest thing right now - we're trying to learn our guys, our guys are trying to learn us. Hopefully, we can develop confidence in one another and we can take steps as a team as we go forward toward this regular season.

      I literally read this 15 minutes ago, but it sums up my feelings perfectly. FYI, the article was about 3 players on the bubble. The author's opinion seems to be Horn is a lock and Renfrow and Moore are fighting for that last spot. David Moore, WR The Panthers' wide receiver room is crowded. There aren't many available spots, at least from the outside looking in. That raises the stakes considerably for those further down the pecking order fighting for recognition. David Moore is among them. The former seventh-round selection is a trusted ally of Dave Canales from three separate NFL stops. He's a solid if not spectacular player, although he underwhelmed when tasked with significant responsibilities during the previous campaign. Moore is battling it out for the sixth wideout spot alongside Hunter Renfrow, Kobe Hudson, and Jacolby George. It could go either way, but Canales' faith and his ability to impact special teams might be enough to get a reprieve."

      Until LaMelo is traded, this is an unserious organization anyway. There's an insane lack of talent, and the talent all comes with baggage and injury concerns.  I assume the OP was about passing on Ace...but he's exactly the type of prospect doomed to bust here and compound on to the problems with all of his rumored sketchiness.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      Profit sharing among owners. More ‘desirable’ matchups garner more viewership, leads to more revenue generated and more profit for everyone invested. Y’all don’t think there will ever be a Titans vs Panthers SB, do you? lol, yeah right. Tampa vs Jacksonville? Now that’s funny.  Now, do I think there is ‘the man’ who overlords over all of this? Nah, but bias, even among refs, owners and media can, will, does, and always exist when there is $$ involved.  Refs are people too. Probably football fans, and as such, probably have a favorite team and a favorite player ( why would a non-fan ever become a ref). There is no way officiating will be completely impartial when this is the case. Might be an interesting idea (not in a stalker ish way) to see where each ref grew up/lives, then you could see their likely allegiance. What if 2 refs officiated the same game and they both grew up in say SF, Dallas, Philly or New York? Impartial officiating. Nah.     Would you be? Panthers need a FG to advance in the playoffs, it’s third and long with 45 sec left in the game… obvious hold on your Your team’s center? You calling that? Don’t lie, you know you wouldn’t.
