A subpar QB who had a below average NFL career, went bankrupt, sued the NFL for his concussions, has a sub 500 record as a high school football coach, and is a horrible part time anchor made a list and left a QB off of it....

 

Yep, I can see how Falcon fans would get upset about this.

You lost me at "subpar QB who had a below average NFL career." Seriously? I'll let Wikipedia do the honors:

Matty Melt has always been overrated. He has always had great receivers to throw to and has still performed subpar for the most. To be in the NFL that long not do anything in the playoffs in his career, he derserves to be left off

I see your point, but I think he should have made it over kaep, cutler and Dalton.

That list is truly ridiculous.  I'm ok with the 1st tier (though the inclusion of Big Ben and Romo in the same breath as Rogers, Peyton and Brady is a bit of a stretch), the 2nd tier is entirely too generous though.  Dalton, Kaep and Cutler have no business being above Matt Ryan (Tannehill is pushing it, too).  I'd put Ryan squarely in the conversation with the rest of that tier 2 though.

LOL, he was a 3 time "pro bowl selection" in a 20 year career...this was back when 4 QBs made the pro bowl, I believe the first man our a few of those years was Neal O'Donnell.

 

"Super bowl and NFC champion in 2009", you could have been both those things backing up Drew Brees.

 

But hey, he's still the Pride of the Jaguars.  Impressive list.  So maybe I was a little too harsh on him.  Is that you Mark?

      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.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      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.
