Panthers good when it comes to players getting in trouble with the law

Yahoo Sports put out an article displaying arrests on NFL teams for the last five years, and not surprisingly, the Panthers are tied for the second lowest arrests (3).

Sure, it's all good relatively, but I am quite positive that J-Rich wouldn't mind if his team was at 0. Still, comparatively, three arrests in five years is notable.

Being that I can't remember the two besides Hardy (and am too lazy to look them up), they must not have really mattered in the slightest in regards to game days. Did I just say "Hardy"? That's too bad because notwithstanding his good 2013 season, entertaining personality, shtick, or whatever you want to call it, unfortunately that is going to be his legacy as a Panther. [Damn, Hardy, you not only ensured your ticket out of Charlotte, but you messed us up for that lone second spot.]

Getting back on point, I think that J-Rich is probably semi-proud. It's not by luck that the team is second. Ron Rivera and Dave Gettleman have done a good job of drafting high character guys under the watchful eyes of the Big Cat, and have done an excellent job of imparting to everyone within the organization of their expectations as they pertain to off-field trouble. Let's hope that everyone continues to get the message.

      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.
