Does training camp stay at Wofford after the sale?

The specific area we're talking about is not a huge distance from uptown though.

But here's the thing. Part of the reason why teams go to places like that is for lower operating costs, something that can make a significant difference in cash flow over time.

As mentioned elsewhere, the Cowboys aren't in Dallas. The Giants and Jets aren't in New York. The 49ers aren't in San Francisco. So we're not talking about an unprecedented situation here.

We get it. You want the team in SC. The odds of this happening are slim to none.

Actually, you don't get it at all.

I don't care where the stadium goes. Heck, I don't care where the training camp goes. I'm just talking about what's possible. Though even I've said that I don't think it'll actually happen.

One of the mistakes you have a tendency to  make is assuming that someone talking about something that could happen means they believe it should.

That's not always the case, and it's not the case right now.

For something you don't actually think is going to happen, you're sure going out of your way to keep the subject relevant.

Sure it's in the vague realm of possibility on a basic level, but if they build a new stadium, there's realistically less than a 10% chance it will be in South Carolina.

I could also give you any number of arguments why the Saints will win the Super Bowl this year. Doesn't mean it's something that I want to happen.

It's a discussion I find interesting. How it ultimately plays out will neither excite nor upset me.

Everybody doesn't have to be emotionally invested in every discussion.

Probably not feasible, but it would be cool if they could rotate TC throughout different areas in the Carolinas (Asheville, Triad, Triangle, Greenville, NC, Columbia, Charleston, Greenville/Spartanburg, SC). I would think all these areas would have collegiate level facilities they could use.

Would give fans throughout the Carolinas a chance to see the team and would allow fans to take road trips and fuel tourism.

The only place the Panthers training camp will move to besides Wofford, will be to Charlotte. Any other speculation isn't based in reality. Teams are not doing training camps outside of their home town anymore except for a few. The logistics alone make it difficult.

One thing I don't like about having it locally is that it doesn't have the "boot camp" atmosphere that you get when everyone's away from home.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By frankw · Posted

      It amuses me how Goff's name the last few years is often used to compare to subpar or underperforming QB's. Now on the surface I get it. But when you look at his numbers he's been the same QB all along. He's improved his completion % but even with the Rams he averaged 63.4. And that Super Bowl he played in they should have won honestly. If we can get a QB as good as Goff I'll be pretty damn pleased.

      And it remains to be seen if Goff has that ability or not. Plenty of very good QB's like Goff were not able to get over those playoff humps. Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins, etc. You can still be an upper tier QB and never get over that hurdle. McVay just thought(and hasn't been wrong yet) Goff was never going to be that guy.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      You literally simply have to think logically for either of those guys. Smith is locked up on a deal for 2025, so we would have to trade for him or he gets cut. Neither of those scenarios are likely in the first place.  Wilson will be 37 in 2025. Why on earth would he have any interest in a situation that is far worse than he was given in Denver and wasn't able to win there? He's a guy that can drop into any ready to win franchise in the NFL and immediately elevate their chances of winning(provided they already have QB issues).  Frankly, that is either speculation that even David Newton should be embarrassed by or it shows how disconnected with reality some people in our organization are.   I do agree with him on getting a veteran QB, however. That's our best chance to keep developing our talent.
