2 groups have disappointed all 3 games: non-KB receivers and safeties

I'm willing to throw a lot out after tonight because of playing in a short week preseason game. I think looking for trends is smart though and I have seen N O T H I N G from the receivers thought to get the most playing time after Benjamin in Cotchery and Avant. Poor route running, no chemistry with Cam at all. I think Bersin should be looked at as the #2 receiver going into Tampa Bay; it is that dire. Thankfully Kelvin Benjamin has been better than even the most optimistic fan was hoping for. As for the safeties, I'm not sure I can recall a single positive play by any of them all preseason outside of a few solid hits on ballhandlers.

 

Agree? What's the most worrying group coming out of the third preseason game?

I think Avant and Decoud have both been alright. The depth at WR looks good too behind the top 3.

Our SS position looks awful though and I hope they arent content just to put it all on Harper's return. The OT's still have looked bad and as always Shula's offense just looks horribly managed.

OL is way more of an issue than WR.

 

I'm not convinced Rivera has really changed or is a good HC either...still just a glorified DC to me. Dood clearly doesn't know poo about offense or how to build around a franchise QB. Add in the fact that we kept Shula....lol

      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.
