On Panther pulse. Says he is enjoying family,hadn't decided on his future plans yet. Did say Nate Chandler is ready and will impress and do great things this year. This is very promising since the amount I listened to he said nothing close to that about anyone else.Good news. ....some guys just have natural ability and he may be one of them.D.G. seems to think so,as does R.R. Praise doesn't come easy in this league....he may be the real deal.

makes me wonder, gettleman and the coaches have talked about chandler and bell competing for left tackle---who's competing for right tackle? gettleman made it sound like he'd moved bell over to the left side much like godfrey to CB.

I like Wharton, but wish he would quit dragging this matter of his "decision" out.

Why? If we offered him a contract I believe he would sign with us almost immediately . Gettleman wants to see who he has in the young guys. He declined offers from teams elsewhere not here. He seems loyal to the Panthers and the Panthers only so he is a reliable emergency guard/ tackle we can sign if we need him. He isn't looking to sign with a team out west.

Considering the state of our OL, I find it hard to believe we haven't at least attempted to sign him yet.

I've been banging the chandler drum all offseason

He's gonna be our starting lt unless we sign somebody

I would love to see that scenario play out. If he's at least serviceable, I'll be more than happy. Anyone but Bell on the left side.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      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.
