    why would they be forced? Panthers (how crazy Rhule has been, Cam?/Sam) and Lions (Campbell is a straight nut) maybe better for viewing

    I'd rather they not. It's entirely possible that I'm the only one that feels this way, but I've long felt that HARD KNOCKS has pretty much run its course. Maybe it was Rex setting the entertainment bar so high back in the day but I've found myself less and less interested by the show in the seasons since to the point where I don't even bother with it anymore.

    I think it would be better perhaps to not expose our young team to that much scrutiny. Next year's camp should have its entire focus on the further building of the team and with everybody just finding a way to get better than they were last year. The cameras following them around in that way would get in the way of that, I would think.

    Ok never mind. Who would want to see Darnold or Goff (a second time) on HN? 1 would need to make a big QB move to even be of interest

    They should put one of the highest paid NFL coaches on Hard Knocks. The only one who ranks in the top ten who has never coached in a Super Bowl.

    Lions make perfect sense as their HC seems like a guy who would relish being on the show.

    Jets have "One Jets Drive" which is already a great series in my opinion. I don't think Hard Knocks producers will pick Jets over Lions and Dan Campbell. So we are safe.

    Eh, Jets have a bigger fan base, it’s NYC, a young QB, a shitload of draft picks, and a media friendly HC. I doubt they’d go with Goff again. He’s already been on Hard Knocks 3 times now that I think about it.

    Forgot about Goff. He is so forgettable. If Lions are out due to Goff then yes Jets are in play imo.

    I'd love to see what a d'bag Wilson is behind closed doors. I've heard some things ;)

    because there are certain qualifications for being exempt and those 3 teams are the only 3 that don't meet them

    • No teams who were in the playoffs in the last two seasons
    • No teams with a first-year head coach
    • No teams which have been featured on “Hard Knocks” in the last 10 years
    Those are the 3 qualifications. since we haven't made the playoffs in the last 2 years, don't have a 1st year head coach, and haven't been featured in over a decade (last time was with rex ryan) we are eligible.

    yeah i'm 50/50 half of me would love to see it. the other half doens't want the distraction.

    I think the lions would be fun mostly because of campbell. The panthers would be fun because of the shitshow they are.

    Are these new or something? The Rams didn’t qualify in 2020, nor did the Bengals in 2013, Falcons in 2014, Chargers in 2018 or Jets in 2010 regarding the playoff thing. The Dolphins had a first year head coach in 2012.

    I'd love to see it as a fan but I don't think it's good for the team to be under that much scrutiny.

    They’re newish but don’t remember what year, like 2015? But I know fore sure the Chargers/Rams volunteered in 2020 because of COVID. Generally teams don’t volunteer.

    Yes. I mean Chargers in 2020. I didn’t know teams were forced into it. I don’t like that although I used to watch the show and enjoy it. Haven’t watched it much the past couple years.
