I'm 100% against drafting a defensive player with the first pick and I don't care who it is. We are 4 years in and the talent surrounding Cam Newton has declined every single year. We are already paying him 14.5 in 2015 and that number will only go up. That's like buying a Lamborghini and putting Walmart tires on it. This poo has to stop.

The man stood on the damn podium and said he wanted a WR. He said at the pro bowl he has faith in management to surround him with weapons and we all know what he meant.

What have people been saying all offseason? Gettleman's main goal was to surround Cam Newton with weapons. You can not afford to keep telling Cam to fug off. When Cam doesn't trust his teammates to get the job done, he turns into bad Cam. I don't have faith in Byron Bell as our starting LT or Jerricho Cotchery as our #1 WR that's fuging insane.

We were the #2 defense and one of the worst passing offenses in the league, now we have a down graded wr crew, and a worse oline, and y'all are sitting here discussing take another defensive player?? fug all that noise.

Who's our starting LT? RT? RG?, you're comfortable with our WRs as is? Or are you just they type of guy the agrees with anything this organization does? It's ok to think for yourself. Deep down you know we have one of the worst offensive rosters if you take the qb out of it.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
