I was at that game and remember it vividly and it was a great game (19 years ago). I was super stoked to see Smitty there. Fast forward to the BS that is today's iteration of the Pro Bowl, I went to the flag football version at Allegiant Stadium and it was so bad that I didn't take any photos and I left early. The only good thing about football in Las Vegas is that I got to see Julius Peppers get into the HOF live at the NFL Awards show. This is my contribution to this thread because I know the Pro bowl sucks and there's nothing else I can say to make it better.

It just dawned upon me that with Leonard Williams playing in the Super Bowl, there's a good chance that Derrick Brown could be his replacement. Here's to hoping that he will be named soon.

Not just that, he has Sonny Styles drafted #7 to the Commanders.

So basically Steve Smith at QB. He's going to have to change positions really quickly.

Well any way, to continue to highlight how bad the pro bowl is, Shedeur Sanders just got in as a replacement for Drake Maye. He only played 8 games this season and has a 18.9 QBR rating.

Even if he was on this team today, he wasn't going to take it to the Super Bowl. Sam is where he is supposed to be.

The Bills became the first team in history to win a playoff game in six straight years without ever reaching a Super Bowl, which ultimately cost him his job. I don't want that kind of juju.

Without any commentary, let's see what we got out of trading McCaffrey: 2023 2nd Round Included in the massive trade with the Chicago Bears to move up to the No. 1 overall spot in 2023. - Used to draft Bryce Young 2023 3rd Round Traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers (along with the 2023 4th-round pick below) to move up to No. 80. - Used to draft DJ Johnson (LB/EDGE) 2023 4th Round Traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers to facilitate the move up for DJ Johnson.(Pick used by PIT for Nick Herbig) 2024 5th Round Used by the Panthers at No. 164 overall. - Used to draft Chau Smith-Wade (CB) DJ Johnson is no longer on the team, so basically the 3rd and 4th round picks were sent away. Smith-Wade plays only half the team's defensive snaps.

At this stage, we know who are X and Z receivers are. Trading XL for anyone else who doesn't operate primarily out of the slot doesn't make any sense. At this point, just move XL and stick him in the Y Slot and see what he can do.

LOL I haven't heard that name in a long time!

Using a different metric (WAR), here's from Sports Illustrated: "WAR is a difficult stat to analyze, but it essentially means how many wins a player added to their team. So without McMillan, the Panthers lose half a game more, and likely do not make the playoffs. It's most known in baseball, but with there being almost 10 times the games in the MLB, the numbers make a lot more sense. Essentially, if McMillan were in the MLB, that WAR would've translated to 4.8 WAR, which makes him equivalent to George Springer and Mookie Betts, two very good baseball players." https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/news/how-carolina-panthers-rookie-performed-2025

Pretty spot on. The only thing that I may add is that I think Scourton is our future. I think next season with Wonnum gone he makes the leap and gets 9-10 sacks.

Even if he weren't an employee or former player, what is the context of that tweet/post? What if he posted that right after his career high game against Atlanta?

Robert Hunt is a top 10 RG when he's healthy.

QBR is really indeed a weird metric. Josh Allen's MVP season, his Pro Football Reference Approximate Value was 20 and they gave high QBR of 74.8 rating. Cam Newton's MVP season, his Pro Football Reference Approximate Value was 21 and they gave him QBR of 61.4 rating.
