Carolina Panthers NOT interested in Hard Knocks HBO series


Recommended Posts

http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Panthers-not-interested-in-Hard-Knocks.html

The Carolina Panthers are highly unlikely to consent to Hard Knocks chronicling the inaugural training camp of rookie quarterback Cam Newton and rookie coach Ron Rivera.

According to the Charlotte Observer, a team official said it's not something the team is interested in doing.

The team hasn't been contacted by HBO, though, so it's not like the opportunity is really there.

Other teams not interested in appearing on the popular reality series, the Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

OMG! I'm so shocked! Maybe SMOKESCREEN?! Ryan Kalil IS A TROLL I tell you! Why the Panthers wouldn't do something to excite the fan base!

I feel like a big bird with eyes going large!@ and a FAIL PIC all wrapped in one.

We dont really need any distraction and HBO just trying to make Thomas Davis name all his kids and poo watch them FOLLOW FOX and the Donkeys now lol

God forbid they do something to create more interest in the team. Worked out poorly for the Jets.... sigh
don't want my favorite team to be some reality tv show joke.

will it make them any worse? nope (well, maybe). won't make them any better either.

if this team wants recognition it's going to get it from winning. not being on some stupid reality tv show.

those stupid reality shows thrive on drama and will do what it takes to create it among the players or blow things out of proportion. panthers don't need that.

if it was just a documentary i'd be a lot more interested, but hard knocks isn't that. it's garbage tv.

anyway...what makes anyone think that these players who locked out the media would want anything to do with that show?

i do think that this team will be more open or at least more informative than it was with john "talk for 5 minutes and say nothing" fox, but it won't go out like a bunch of attention whores trying to get noticed.

    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
    • I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
