Seeking autographs at training camp are sad,creepy, and pathetic.

Not the ones who come down to the fence after watching practice but the ones who sit at the fence the whole practice and scream for players 10 years their junior and calling then sir and Mr.

I think that if they're calling them sir and Mr that at least those adults were raised with manners and some class.

Nothing wrong with any person of any age trying to get an autograph of his favorite player or players imo

Now if said adults are shoving little kids out of the way, then I do have a serious problem with that!

Was the guy that was yelling Mr. an older guy trying to get a helmet signed?

Most of them are probably looking to resell them. But why anyone wants an autograph in the first place is beyond me. Then again, some of these people swear to rage if Medlock doesn't start. Some people take this team and sport wayyyy too seriously.

I'm ok with autographs. It makes for nice memorabilia but what I witnessed was pathetic

I've heard a lot of negative comments about adults asking for or and trying to get autographs for themselves. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it. It is the adults that are buying the tickets, paying for overpriced parking, drinking the overpriced beer in the stadiums, buying the overpriced paraphernalia, vehicle stickers, tags on the front of our vehicles and so forth. I have never gotten an autograph from anyone, but I would not feel bad about asking for an autograph from a player on my favorite team that I support.

Yeah autographs are cool, but I feel like I'm beyond that now at my age. Dick LeBeau played golf at my club this year and I could've easily gotten an autograph, but I just said I'd like to shake hands with a hall of famer and joke about him being the godfather of the 3-4. He smiled and we talked a little football. He had nothing but praise about Cam.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
