i guess we will see how this effects the quality of play around the league..though i suspect those little injuries that players don't tell you about will be less of an issue..J-Stew didn't go through training camp for years and he still put up some numbers.

this is all probably an effort to get players to go for 18 games in the future, however.

NFL Players = spoiled and soft little bitches

Here is why i completely disagree with this:

1. These guys are pros.. they don't need to learn how to hit. If they do, they won't last long. Sure they get better at the pro game but they aren't learning how to form tackle at the pro level.

2. The pro game has never been more violent, so why do they need to put their bodies through rigerous camp workouts? Again, if the end product were suffering that would be one thing, but last year there seemed like there were more collisions and concussions than ever before. It certainly seems like these guys know what they are doing...

they thought about replacing the hall of fame game with a game of flag football, but because of Smith's injury last year, the league shied away from the idea entirely.

They weren't allowed to wear pads plain and simple. If it wasnt for the lockout im pretty sure they would be out going blow for blow like normal. stupid article

no, many of these changes are in the CBA... players wanted training camp to be less... rigorous.

Yea, its all well and dandy, until preseason game number 1 when they finally get to go full speed, and there are 20 injured players because they aren't used to it. Hopefully I'm wrong.

i think players get injured more from crazy training camp drills then they do from a quarter of preseason play...

      Its really wild to watch this part of the community boil down the success of the 2025 Panthers to whether or not BY9 busts or breaks out. Ill take middle of the road mistake free game manager that distributes the ball and orchestrates the offense.  If we can get that with a D that doesnt put us in a 27 point+ hole every week the team can improve. Id love a deep post season run but honestly at this point Id be ecstatic about feeling like we could win every week.   Jake is never going to get a yellow jacket but damn if he didnt make watching the team fun.     eta: I think too many people are looking for an I told you so moment over their pre-draft "evaluation" of Bryce

      I consider last year Bryce's rookie year.....and I expect some regression/D adjustment in his second season in Canales' O.  Film is film.   So yeah, I agree....he won't be the dude that opened up the year week 1 or closed the door week 17.  We will get some dude in between it all most likely.  Which IMO puts us in a really awkward no man's land with Bryce.

      The question is which Bryce shows up game 1. Do we get week 2 (2024) Bryce, or week 18 (2024) Bryce?  I will say that his progression after the benching last year was amazing. He literally got better every game - sans Dallas. Like every week he did something we hadn't seen him do before. And it wasn't luck, toss it up for grabs plays like Penix did against Carolina. Penix was just throwing the ball as hard as he could in the direction of a receiver and hoping they'd make a play for him. What we saw from Bryce was different. Decision making, reading defenses, recognizing blitzes and where they were coming from, knowing his hot, avoiding pressure and manipulating the pocket, throwing with anticipation, taking shots downfield, and running the ball surprisingly well. Stats don't always tell the story. Did he miss some throws that he should have made - sure did. But the clutch gene is strong with this one. One score game and Carolina has the ball with 2 minutes on the clock - I'm confident he'll give them a chance to win more than he doesn't.
