Hard Knocks 2013

As much as I would absolutely love for it to happen. No, It would be a detriment to the team.

Ditto

[Miiikey]

It would be cool for the fanbase and I would've taken it last year had I known what our record would be.. But I feel we're playoff contenders this year and would rather not have the distraction.

I would love to see it happen.  Get Cam & Smitty in front of the camera!  Seriously... Cam, Smitty, DeAngelo, Stewart, Beason, etc... we have some of the best personalities in the NFL that nobody outside of Carolina know about.  It would be great for exposure and could earn us a few fans that otherwise don't know anything about us.

[French Navy]

Hell to the no.

 

Of course, if it were to happen, you'd have to pry me away from that TV every Tuesday.

I would love for it to happen. Hard knocks is a fantastic show...hell even my life loves it and she isn't even a huge football fan. Having my team featured...especially with all the great personalities on the team would be awesome. It's only a distraction if you don't have the right people in place...I believe we have the right veteran leadership on this team so that it wouldn't be a problem.

Count me in... the more Panther football I can get in my life the better.  I am not going to dismiss the chance for potential distractions, but at the NFL level, in the age of "instant information" and extensive media coverage, these guys should be professional enough to live training camp as if cameras are on them 24/7 regardless of if there is a tv show being filmed or not.

 

I do not believe it to be as big a distraction as many of you think and I believe some more exposure for our small market team should be welcomed and encouraged.

Pansies!   Bring on Hard Knocks. 

[X-Clown]

Has a hard knocks team ever even made the playoffs?

 

Cincinnati Bengals won their division in 2009

 

New York Jets went to the AFC Championship in 2010

I would like to see everything going on behind closed doors, but I do know it is a distraction and probably not what is best for the team. Conflicted on the issue lol 

[Jump Zone]

Great show, but to do the Panthers, hell no.

[rayzor]

i don't understand how something like this can be a distraction to a losing team.

a losing team doesn't need anymore distractions.

[Mage]

I can only see it now.

 

Newton heads to the bench, places towel on his head to rest... "IS CAM A DETRIMENT TO THE PANTHERS LOCKER ROOM?!"

[rayzor]

there's a reason no serious team wants to do this junk. it's not worth it. it doesn't help the team. they don't want or need cameras following them around.  they don't want the circus. mostly the players don't want it. they don't want to be seen getting ripped up in meetings. they don't want to be seen getting cut and their lives sent into a spiral....many their dreams come crashing down. others their careers come to a close.

 

i don't want it mainly because i like the team too much to see that stuff. i like the panthers too much to see them have to deal with the whole thing. it's just not worth it to me to see all that stuff. I'd rather just know they are concentrating on their job rather than how they are going to be perceived on tv.
