This just reaffirms why I never pull for the Panthers. Could give a crap about a local team that never has players for Clemson. Go Texans

He never did anything standout in the practices I saw or read about, nor during the preseason games. Too much LB depth and experience in Carolina for him to have a sincere chance. He may be a practice squad candidate.

You don't pull for panthers cause they don't have tigers on the roster? That's stupid reasoning cause it's a business when it comes to the NFL and panthers are deep at all LB positions. I love the Clemson just as much as anyone else on here but I'm not gonna knock a team for deciding a Clemson player isn't the best fit for their team.

No, it's not stupid reasoning. Clemson fans are rabid and are known to travel well, but the local franchise ignores them at every turn. For example, the Panthers have never had a dominant WR and definitely need one (and have for years). Did they look to WR U? No, they let Hopkins, Watkins, Bryant, Humphries, Peake, and Williams go elsewhere. It makes me sick that teams like Houston have 5 former tigers on the roster, and the Panthers have none.
I promise you this, the Panthers would be economically more successful if they had 5 former tigers on their roster. Ticket sale, merchandise sales, website clicks, and TV viewership would all benefit.
This isn't theory, I know this because, after following them since the beginning, my son and I started watching Atlanta because of Beasley and Garrett. We are now watch the Falcons and the Texans weekly. So, the overpriced NFL gear sales will go to Atlanta and Houston not Carolina. I know for a fact that I'm not alone.
Finally, when you get as deep at LB as Boulware would have been, the other two guys ahead of him sucked too. Only one of those 4th string LB's would have put butts in the seats, but they cut him.

It's makes you wonder if something went wrong in the relationship with Clemson during their first season when they used our stadium? Whatever the reason, it's the Panthers loss to not have Clemson players. Go back to the preseason this year and look at the Clemson fans in the stands wearing orange because of Boulware.

Agree, I never have pulled for the Panthers, and I wouldn't have if Ben would've made the team, I would have pull for Ben to do good things at his position. Ben Boulware is the only hope that I would be hoping for in a Panther uniform!!! My wife's sister in law has season Panther Tickets, and listening to her about the Panthers makes me throw up. Now my wife's brother was a calm Panther fan before he passed away, but his wife is one of the worst obnoxious fans they have!!!! Good luck to Ben for finding a team to play on, bc FB is a big part of his life that he absolutely Loves. I'm hoping that he finds a team that will appreciate his heart and Love for the game more than his lack of prototype measurements... I thank Ben for everything he did and gave of himself for his/our Clemson Tigers!!!!

Something we all expected. Panthers may have best and deepest group of LB's in the NFL. He'll be picked up and make someones practice squad. (or whatever it's called) Head up Ben, we love you brother.

That stinks. I hate that Schefter posts this stuff, if the management at the Panthers hasnt called him in yet, it means he is probably finding out from the internet that he lost his job.

I'm with you, but if that is true, the fault lies with the organization to tell the player first rather than the reporter. I would imagine BB was told first. Probably had to see the Turk after hearing, "Coach wants to see you and bring your playbook'. Best of luck to Ben in any event.

With what he did for Clemson I have no doubt that if can't make it in football and doesn't choose to coach that he will be offered a fine job withing the Clemson family of well-to-do people that can offer him very well paying jobs...

Boulware -- COACH

His work ethic and ability to break down vid will open a lot of doors in the coaching profession. Honestly, he will succeed at anything because of that ethic.

For me personally, I find myself wanting Houston to win now primarily due to the number of Tigers on that team. Never cared much for the Panthers before Ben got there. This just means I'll watch less Panther games. My choice.

I pull for the Panthers but I don't like the fact that they don't ever draft Clemson players. Keep your head up Ben you are still a great player. Maybe another team will pick you up.

Why is anyone shocked? Boulevard doesn't measure up ....for starters too slow. He'll land on his feet and won't look back. The Panthers weren't the best choice....not a lot of room on the defensive side of the ball.
