by: Norris We are about a month away from the 2023 NFL draft where the Carolina Panthers hold the number one pick. The fan base is currently at odds on who they want Carolina to choose between Alabama’s Bryce Young and Ohio State’s CJ Stroud. Both sides have compelling arguments as to why the Panthers

Panther fans we’ve officially made it back for another year of football and back for our annual trip to Spartanburg to watch the Panthers practice at Wofford College for training camp. If the sheer thought of pads popping in August doesn’t get your juices flowing then the Panthers ushering in a complete new coaching staff

-Norris4MR Draft season is upon us once again! Carolina has pick nine in the first (for now) and all signs point to a quarterback this year. They’ll likely have to move up into the top three if they want to snag one.  Other needs are defensive end, linebacker, corner, safety and tight end. The Panthers

It’s draft season! The Panthers are drafting at pick six in the first, with no picks on day two. This could change, as we all know Scott Fitterer doesn’t mind trading back in the draft. Last year, Scott made five draft day trades to move around and get his guys. All signs point to either

The new league year starts on March 16th, triggering the mad frenzy of transactions and signings. However, at the current point in the process, teams have set most internal evaluations aside and are focusing on talent outside the organization. Let’s recap each position and see where the team might consider improving. *-denotes Unrestricted Free Agent

By: Norris Thornburg There’s still four weeks left in the season, but the Panthers’ chances of making a playoff run are pretty much over. So, what do we do when the season is over? Mock drafts. Mock drafts as far as the eyes can see. After all, the only thing we have to look forward

Tuesday is the faithful day where some good athletes get walking papers. But, conversely, roster long shots that caught the coaching staff’s attention will get no news, which is good news.

The Panthers have endured two joint practices in as many weeks, with an unimpressive preseason loss against the Baltimore Ravens. For many players, snaps have become more valuable. With training camp officially over, the battle for roster spots is over halfway complete. For some players, it’s already too late to prove their value. For others,

Much like the stock market, the nature of life on an NFL roster can be one with its share of ups and downs. For players and investors alike, the goal is to add value to their portfolios and avoid losses. However, the highs are not always consistent. The lows are bound to come. The best

The last practice before heading up to Indianapolis was brief for the Panthers. With joint practices ahead on Thursday and Friday with the Colts, the players only wore helmets, jerseys, and shorts on this 80° morning in Spartanburg. LB Denzel Perryman, CB A.J. Bouye, WR Keith Kirkwood were in red jerseys riding bicycles as they

With another pushed-back start time of 10:00 am, the Carolina Panthers felt the return of warmer temperatures in the low 80s. They continue to build upon the recent momentum lately as they perfect their own craft in the team schemes. This practice saw the return of WR Robby Anderson, who missed the last two practices

The Carolina Panthers returned to training camp in sunny Spartanburg SC this Sunday after having Saturday off following a rainy Fan Fest Friday night in Charlotte NC. The scheduled start time of 8:30am was pushed back to 9:30am. WR Robby Anderson was still excused from practice again to attend to a personal family issue. LB

With another cooler than average morning with 75° coming down from partly cloudy Spartanburg skies the Carolina Panthers continued to build upon improving from the day before. CB A.J. Bouye, LB Shaq Thompson, LB Denzel Perryman and DT DaQuan Jones did not practice today. Owner David Tepper and GM Scott Fitterer were on the field

With a temperature of around 72°, it was a rare cool morning in Spartanburg for the month of August. But the offensive players for the Carolina Panthers brought their own heat to the field. From 1st team drill to the last one, the offense dominated tempo today. A great sight was seeing WR Keith Kirkwood

After a steady rain overnight that carried over into early morning, the Carolina Panthers had dry weather for their 8:30 am practice. CB A.J. Bouye and LB Shaq Thompson practiced but had red jerseys on. LB Denzel Perryman was riding a bicycle throughout practice but nothing of a severe nature at all. RB Darius Clark

The start of a new week had the Carolina Panthers players coming out in their helmets, shoulder pads, and shorts. Today was the final “ramp up” acclamation practice before fully padded practices tomorrow, August 3. The results of today’s practice were heavy in the defense’s favor. Instead of the usual drills of 1 on 1,

On a muggy, humid night in Spartanburg, SC, almost 6200 Carolina Panthers fans got to go inside Gibbs Stadium on Wofford College to have the annual Kickoff Party. During the Ron Rivera era from 2011 – 2019, this event was the opening practice of training camp. However, with this being the 1st summer during the

Despite a heavy cloudy overcast this morning, the humidity dominated this Friday morning’s practice. WR Robby Anderson returned after missing Thursday’s practice with an illness. Rookie DT Phil Hoskins worked on the sidelines as he remains on the PUP list recovering from a foot injury. LB Frankie Luvu was back at practice after being taken

This warm humid morning practice added 11 on 11 drills for the first time. WR Robby Anderson was held out of practice by the trainers for an illness. No details were given. LB Frankie Luvu was taken off the COVID-19 list today but did not do any team drills. He must have two negative tests

The NFL set the rule that the first four practices of all training camps are to be used as an “acclimation period”. That means there will not be any pads worn at all by the players and very light contact. The goal of this rule is to allow players to pace themselves to build up

By: Norris Thornburg It’s almost here! We are less than a week away from the 2021 NFL Draft! The rumors and speculation will end and fans will see who the long-awaited picks will be. Will Carolina take Fields if he drops? Do they take Patrick Surtain Jr. to solidify the secondary? Will they trade picks?

By: Norris Thornburg Prior to a couple of weeks ago, it was almost a foregone conclusion that Carolina would take a quarterback in this year’s draft. Then on a Monday in early April, the Panthers traded for the Jets’ starting quarterback Sam Darnold. Darnold has the potential to be a solid starting quarterback for the

By: 4MR Norris It’s been less than two weeks since news broke that DeShaun Watson was unhappy with the Texans’ brass and wanted out of Houston. The very minute that the news broke, a lot of Carolina fans started drooling over the fact that a young franchise quarterback could be available via a trade. A

Boy doesn’t it feel good to get a big decisive win? Waking up this morning celebrating a 20-0 victory, after coming off a five game losing streak, truly does the soul some good and was right on time too. With Thanksgiving just a couple of days away Sunday’s game gave us a lot to be

This past week the Carolina Panthers suffered a close loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. A continuing narrative amongst national media and Panther nation alike is that starting QB Teddy Bridgewater hurts the offense by not pushing the ball downfield. In this article I will take a closer look at some of Teddy’s missed deep

I went to sleep early Thursday night just to wake up to watch that crap game that we were subjected to look at. This was easily the worst performance that we’ve seen all year. Full disclosure: If you are looking for a nice fluff piece about last night’s loss, this won’t be the one. We

Losing to any divisional rival at any point of the season, regardless of the record of each team, is never fun. Sigh! I know I know. However, after watching yesterday’s game it’s actually kind of hard to be entirely disappointed about the overall outcome. Sure I get it! It’s never fun to lose and moral

By Monty Fetti  After five weeks of football with a 3-2 record, I think we all can agree that this Carolina Panthers team is a lot better prepared for the 2020 season than we all originally expected. Coach Matt Rhule made it very clear earlier this year that he had no intentions on waiting until

The Carolina Panthers enter Week 5 of the 2020 season riding a two game win streak. After an impressive win against an explosive Arizona Cardinals team in Week 4, the Panthers enter as favorites against a struggling Atlanta Falcons team. While the Falcons have played stints of really good football, they struggle to close football

By: Monty Fetti Jr. To say that it’s been a crazy first month of football in the NFL, especially for our Carolina Panthers, it would be an huge understatement. From beginning the year with no OTAs, no mini camp, no full training camp and no preseason games, to starting the season off 0-2, to losing

By: Vince Holmes A slow start to the Rhule Era of the Carolina Panthers to start the season. Untimely injuries and inconsistent play among other things have contributed to the Panthers 0-2 start for this season. While it hasn’t been all bad for the Panthers, the players have been able to compete enough to be

So after dramatically crying myself to sleep and after washing the stinch of yesterday’s UGLY loss off, I am finally back and ready to discuss what happened in the matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by our Carolina Panthers. Let’s just jump right into it. Week 2 Hot Takes w/ Monty ● The Tale of

Panthers  at Buccaneers  1:00 Well, that’s not the way fans wanted to start the Matt Rhule Era. There were some things to like about the team (mainly on offense), but there were also some things to work on. The Carolina defense looked lost at times, but you’ll have that when there is so much inexperience.

The 2020 NFL Season is finally here! Beyond all of the trying times of COVID-19 and the never ending battle against Social Injustice in America, the Carolina Panthers return to football has come back with perfect timing. We have a lot of different things to break down and cover so let’s jump right into it.

A new era begins Sunday afternoon in Charlotte NC and there will be new faces all over Bank of America Stadium. With all the uncertainty and unfamiliarity surrounding the 2020 season, predicting the outcome seems almost impossible. However, I believe not having a preseason works in the Panthers favor on Sunday. The unorthodox off-season offers

Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper held a virtual press conference today with the local Charlotte sports media. He spoke on a variety of different topics and answered several questions. Here is a recap of what he said: There has been significant improvement with diversity throughout the franchise on both the management level and the work

A new era is among us with uncertainty, confusion and even anger from some fans not happy with the perceived direction of the franchise. It’s important to remember the Panthers haven’t won a playoff game since that glorious night of the NFC championship game of the 2015 season. A breathe of fresh air was needed

At this point in every training camp the enemies of progress are: Time, Health and Fatigue. Coach Rhule and his coaching staff have identified a fourth adversary: Monotony. On Tuesday August 25 the team was separated into two groups by the assistant coaches; first-string offense and second-string defense versus the first-string defense and second-string offense.

The 2020 Carolina Panthers training camp is one with many unique circumstances. For the first time in franchise history, the Panthers training camp headquarters is not located at Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Instead, it makes its Queen City debut at the confines of Bank of America Stadium and the Atrium Health Dome aka

Well, this was an exciting draft, wasn’t it? After using free agency to fix the offense, Carolina came into the draft with a plan to fix the defense. Matt Rhule and Marty Hurney had a solid plan and executed it to perfection. On paper, they fixed the run defense, pass rush and began fixing the

In this scenario, I decided against trading up. Here are the possibilities if the Panthers stand pat with the picks we have. ROUND 1 PICK 7 CB CJ Henderson, Florida The Panthers could decide to trade back into the early teens for a chance at Henderson. But I believe that the Panthers will look at

The time is finally upon us. It’s draft week and Panther Nation is awaiting to see who Carolina picks. The Panthers could go multiple ways in the draft, but they have a lot of holes on the defensive side of the ball. Here’s my final mock of the season: ROUND 1 **TRADE** **The Cleveland Browns

The NFL draft is less than a week away, and the Carolina Panthers should have a lot of options at pick seven. With the team concentrating on offense in free agency, they will likely look at mostly defense in the draft. They will look at every option available, but there’s no doubt that Carolina has

This is part four of the five part series about how Carolina can become relevant sooner rather than later. Part three was about some free agents that Carolina could look at to fill some open spots on their roster. This article is about some players that need to be targeted in the draft. This is

This is part three of a series that talks about how the Panthers can become relevant again sooner, rather than later. Part two discussed the Panthers’ own free agents and who to re-sign. Part three is about potential free agent targets for Carolina. All of this could change, as some of these players will be

This is the second part of my mock draft that includes scenarios where I was offered more picks by trading back. In the 1st round the Las Vegas Raiders offered me their #12 and #19 overall picks for my #7 overall. Later on in the 4th round the Raiders offered me their 4th round pick

I decided to do my mock draft a little different. Part 1 is without the any trades being done with the original seven draft picks. Here are the players I chose and the logic behind each one. Round 1 (7th overall): Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama At 6-1 and 192 lbs Jerry Jeudy has all of

Over the course of the next few weeks, there will be a lot of visits from college prospects for the Carolina Panthers. This is the time of year where we get ramped up for the draft, so we will be doing some mock drafts based on information we are given about visits. This is a

This series is about how to bring the Panthers back to relevance sooner, rather than later. In part one, you learned about some of the cuts that should be coming, to help the Panthers gain some salary cap space. In part two, I will give my opinion on who Carolina should re-sign and who they

This has been a rough offseason for Carolina Panthers’ fans, filled with ups and downs. They’ve had to endure tons of speculation about the future of Cam Newton in Carolina, since week two. The hiring of Coach Matt Rhule made things a little better, after a five win season. There has been a lot of

Here is a list of college prospects with whom we’ve met. We will add more as we get more info. Each player has their Draft Network Profile attached to their name, if available. Just click on their name and it’ll take you to their page. At the bottom of the page, I will post the

Seahawks at Panthers 1:00 The Falcons just continue to have our number. Interim head coach, Perry Fewell, didn’t really have an answer for Atlanta once the team started turning the ball over. I don’t condone tanking or trying to lose, but it could be happening whether we like it or not. Where’s Cam when we

With the loss on Sunday, the Panthers moved from pick 14 to pick 12. Looking at the remaining schedule, it’s likely that Carolina will lose the rest of the games. Unless, of course, they pull off a miracle or the Saints sit their starters in week 17 again. There are three teams with the same

There are only three games left in the season and Kyle Allen has started all but two of them. With the Panthers officially eliminated from playoff contention, it’s time to put Allen on the bench and play Will Grier. Kyle Allen has started 11 games, and has won five of them. Not singlehandedly, but the

Ever since week two, the talking heads in the media have written him out of Carolina. On September 15th, Michael Vick gave his bold prediction on Fox NFL Sunday that Cam wouldn’t be with the Panthers in 2020. It hasn’t stopped since that day. Analysts will tell their audience that Cam is washed up in

Panthers At Falcons 1:00 Well, that was a bad loss. So bad, that it cost Ron Rivera his job. We would like to thank Coach Rivera for everything he’s contributed to the team and wish him luck in the future. There’s no doubt that he will be a solid head coach elsewhere. Now, let’s look

The search for a new head coach in Carolina begins now. On Tuesday, December 3rd, Ron Rivera was fired from the Carolina Panthers. Rivera had been the head coach since 2011 and had a record of 76-63-1. In 2015, Rivera led the Panthers to Super Bowl 50, where they fell to the Denver Broncos. In

Panthers VS Redskins 1:00 That was a hard fought game, but the Panthers came up short. Or should I say, they came up wide right. Kyle Allen had a good game, as he does in domes, and he put them in position to win. However, the defense looked lost at times and kicker Joey Slye

Never had a chance. Falcons have had our number over the last four years. Our defense finally figured out how to stop the run, but our pass defense stumbled. Kyle Allen’s turnovers killed drives and led to Atlanta points. This whole team crumbled. However, the Panthers still control their destiny, so Panther Nation needs to

One of the biggest question marks heading into the 2019 season for the Carolina Panthers was how well was the offensive line going to perform. On paper, the unit looked very promising and poised to dominate. The retirement of long time team captain and leader, center Ryan Kalil, left a void that was filled in

The Panthers have looked awful the past few weeks. The defense has been bad, the blocking has been spotty and the quarterback play has been less than average. Obviously there are a number of variables that go into wins and losses, but it all falls on number seven. After all, when the Panthers lost under

Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers 1:00 Well, this was a winnable game, but costly mistakes hurt us. Rumor has it, Aaron Jones is still running through our defense. Kyle Allen made some mistakes, but showed poise in the face of adversity. In snowy conditions, Allen and company orchestrated a drive that almost gave them an

Is Cam Newton done in Carolina? This is a topic that has been discussed at nauseam for the past two months. When Cam was placed on injured reserve, it seemed to cause a media frenzy. Everyone with a computer seemed to type up an article about how Cam has played his last game as a

When Cam Newton went down with a foot injury in week 2, it seemed as though the Panthers were destined to be one of the league’s worst. In came Kyle Allen, who led the team to a 5-4 record, with a lot of help from Christian McCaffrey and the defense. While it has been fun

Carolina Panthers at Green Bay Packers 4:25 I predicted a 30-17 win for Carolina, but I was off by 3. I’ll try to be better this time. Carolina got back to their winning ways against Tennessee, and CMC continues his historic pace. There are still things that need to be improved, but overall this was

Titans At Panthers Game Time: 1:00 Ouch! That one didn’t feel good, did it Panther Nation? The 49ers are NOT who I thought they were. Then again, neither was the Carolina defense. They played so bad in so many different ways. I really thought this would be a defensive game and we’d come out on

This week, we decided to take a few questions from some of our fans. Not sure if this will be a permanent weekly feature, but it’s something to get fans involved. We only received a few questions, so let’s start it off. Do you think the offensive line will be able to handle San Francisco’s

Panthers VS 49ers Game Time: 4:05 Who else is glad that the bye week is over? That was a brutal week without Panther football. It’s time for Carolina to march into San Francisco to play the undefeated 49ers. Kyle Allen looks to extend his winning streak to 6-0 for his career. Will he be able

Panthers VS Buccaneers Game Time: 9:30 AM Welcome to the Christian McCaffrey Show. He’s the best running back in the league right now, if not the best overall player. With Allen in at quarterback, the offense runs through McCaffrey. What a performance by CMC, as he had 175 yards rushing, 61 yards receiving and 3

There are quite a few people out there that think Panthers’ running back, Christian McCaffrey, deserves to be in the conversation for NFL MVP. On one hand, it’s only week six and it’s a little early for that talk. On the other hand, it is fun to think about. After all, there really aren’t many

Panthers VS Jaguars Game Time: 1:00 Game Time Temperature: 79 degrees 30% chance of rain Despite the severe fumblitis by quarterback Kyle Allen, Carolina pulls off their second win of the season. The stout defense of the Panthers carried the team, as they sacked Deshaun Watson six times, intercepted him once, forced a fumble with

Panthers VS Texans Game Time: 1:00 Game Time Temperature: 90 degrees 0% chance of rain The first win of the season! Man, it feels good! Kyle Allen is slinging touchdowns left and right, McCaffrey is still doing McCaffrey things and the defense looked like they’re starting to come together. Brian Burns looks like the stud that

It’s only week three, but the season has been a letdown, to say the least. Fans had huge expectations for Carolina coming into this season, and the Panthers haven’t delivered. People are so miserable with the Panthers’ play, that they’ve turned on each other and started blaming Newton’s fashion as the reason they are losing.

Panthers defense vs. Cardinals offense:  The biggest threat to expose the defense will be the match-up of the personnel groupings and alignments that Panthers head coach Ron Rivera uses and calls against the high tempo/no huddle “Air Raid” passing attack using 10 and 00 personnel by Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury. The term Air Raid

Panthers offense vs. Cardinals defense: The biggest threat to disrupt the offense’s production will be the match-up of EDGE defenders Chandler Jones and Terrell Suggs vs. TACKLES Daryl Williams and Taylor Moton. Since 2015 Chandler has had 12.5, 11.0, 17.0 and 13.0 sacks with 90 QB hits. Suggs during his last four seasons played has

Panthers VS Bucs Game time: 8:20 Game time temperature: 84 Week one didn’t go as planned, but that’s in the past. Some fans have their hands poised on the panic button, but please relax. It’s week two and Carolina has a fairly favorable schedule for the next two weeks, as they play Tampa Bay in

The rivalry between the Panthers and Falcons is one of the biggest in the NFL. The rivalry was dubbed “I-85 Rivalry” due to the teams being four hours apart down Interstate 85. The two teams have been rivals since Carolina’s inaugural year in 1995, as they were both in the NFC West division. In 2002,

It’s finally here. The day that fans have been looking forward to since January. Week one of NFL action is upon us, and the Panthers have the NFC Champions coming to town. Carolina would love to start off fast this year, and they’re going to have quite the test this week. Here is a look

When the Carolina Panthers announced their 53-man roster on this past Saturday by the 4:00 pm EST deadline, many fans were mostly pleased with the players that made the team.  However, there were some surprise cuts made 24 hours later; and a trio of mostly unknown players claimed off the waiver wire were now added

The Panthers and Saints have one of the biggest rivalries in all of football. Hate runs deep between the two teams, and the rivalry has been heated from the very start. Both Carolina and New Orleans have been in the same division since Carolina’s inaugural year in 1995. From 1995-2001, the Panthers were in the

  The progression of Cam Newton’s career has been strikingly similar to legendary Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway. From a 50 foot view, both Newton and Elway entered the league as rocket armed dual threat quarterbacks with unlimited upside potential.

The Carolina Panthers came out with low energy and poor execution on their first couple series on both sides of the ball to be down by 10 points very early in the first quarter and never recovered in a 27-14 home loss against the Buffalo Bills at Bank of America Stadium on this past Friday

The rivalries have ran deep in the NFC South ever since it was formed in 2002. Tampa Bay and Carolina’s rivalry is talked about the least, but it’s a rivalry nonetheless. The two teams have played each other 37 times since Carolina’s inaugural season in 1995. Carolina leads the all-time series 23-14. The Panthers and
