Swung by practice today...

I swung by practice today under the assumption that it would be held around the same time as it was last year... got there at about 12:30 and it hadn't even started yet. Walked down the path from the practice fields to the stadium and walking right towards me was the one-and-only Cam Newton... and he is gigantic. Keep in mind that I'm 6'6" and 297 lbs.

Didn't want to bug the guy, so as I walked by I just said "Hey Cam" and he looked right at me with a big smile and said "Hey buddy" in a very genuinely friendly way (I know, cool story bro). Before Cam, Peppers was the most physically impressive person I've ever been around, but Cam takes it... he's not human.

So anyways, I'm trying to figure out if the later practice start today will be a regular thing or if it was just for this special sponsor event they were having?

Anybody have any intel on what time normal practices will start this year?

I think that the vision of Peppers is wearing off.

Cam is a beast, but Peppers is other worldly.

Maybe, not taking anything away from Peppers - he's a freak, maybe it's because my mind is trying to tell me that Cam is a QB and he looks like a DE.

Seeing his silhouette coming at me through the tunnel was one of the most impressive things I've ever seen... I knew who it was the moment I saw him because nobody else is built like that.

Sounds like you could kick his ***

First I would have to catch him and there's no chance of that... plus you have to think very carefully about getting into a fight with anybody that has his size/athleticism combination.

The only experience I have to compare is throwing Juan Howard and Brian Mitchell out of a bar I was a bouncer in up in DC back in the 90's. I was doing about 360 lbs at the time and could handle myself and Juan Howard was a handful.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.

      I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
