Luke was the panthers nominee for the cover. Surprised to see him over Cam but excited to see him get some media attention. Guys a machine. Even though he's against Ray rice one can dream right?

They also have one old school player from each team. Ours was jake lmao. I guess it's well deserved though.

peyton hillis

but i would not vote luke...i think wilson deserves it since he got robbed of the roty....

While this does make the OP that you are responding to incorrect, because white people can get on the cover regardless of their position, I would also like to point out however Peyton Hillis was unique in that people voted for him BECAUSE he was white and it was possible for people to get him in via the internet campaigns being held at the time, as well as Cleveland Brown fans as a whole getting an opportunity to vote in one of their irrelevant players to the cover.

Regardless of all the crap I just typed, whose to say it wouldn't happen again? But maybe the publicity of the Peyton Hillis cover counteracts the internet vote and we never see that again.

      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?
