Teams starting to limit fan access to training camp

Many teams are starting to limit training camp practices in terms of fan access. The Bucs are now only opening 6 practices to the general public.

 

Get used to this and I suspect many teams will follow suit, including the Panthers.

 

Teams used to be able to practice in front of fans without any problem. Now that basically the entire practice is recorded and uploaded by hundreds of fans a day, every NFL team can basically watch every other NFL team's training camp.

I hope we don’t but that just means I need to make sure I get to camp this year. Had a blast in 2016 and hopefully the crowds are a little less since that was post SB. 

They get bigger every year it seems like.

good news. Training camp should be just that: training camp for the players. I've never understood why they open these to the public, or even the media anyway. We all know there are spies in the stands with a camera. 

 

Because sports are supposed to be for entertainment

As a very biased fan of both, I think we should move training camp to UNCC.  I also think we should build an indoor practice facility there so we dont have to practice in the convention center in bad weather.  This makes limiting public access 100x easier, and gets us out of the unreal heat in the summer. Makes too much sense.

    • Yes. Arm strength is a problem too, but his biggest problems are decision making and accuracy. 
    • His work ethic may be a question mark, but I question his ethics in general. The way that he weighed in at the combine and the left immediately while everyone else was throwing. He knew he was conning someone 
    • When did I say top 3 picks? Talking about starters who were unsuccessful or sent packing from one team to find more success on another--- Goff? Carr? Geno Smith?  Darnold? Baker?  --heck, if you take those QBs alone (5) you are talking about over 15% of the league.  But you are looking at performance and I am looking at skill set and fit.  What you did not mention is the bust rate for the rookie qbs who are drafted.  Why is that?  Fit and, in my view, opportunity to develop. I know that it is easy to say, "I saw this on TV"  or "but he has only been good for a short amount of time"  well, this process is not a lifetime achievement award.  Darnold was here for a half season--did he ever show the success he did here as he has in Minnesota?  Nope.  So what is the difference?  FIT.  My point?  If Jones is a top 7 QB over the past 3 years when throwing from a clean pocket and here, we will have a top running back room (Hubbard and Brooks), a good young WR room, a good young developing TE, and a veteran, top 5 offensive line--those are the conditions that would make him throw from clean pockets.  That is all I am saying--did I give him a gold jacket?  I said it was risky.  So is drafting a QB.  I also mentioned other ways our team could improve. But you decide to put words in my mouth and then argue against those words.  Brilliant.
