Both of them basically called out the national media for claiming RW to be better than Cam simply because RW had a better team that was getting the win against Cam's lesser team in the past. Said theres no way you could watch yesterday's game and say you would take RW over Cam, and that really RW has never done anything better than Cam, and that RW has just had way more help. Also talked about how much the media would be praising RW if he was the one with 4 80yard drives with no name receivers and how they would be talking about what a winner he is. I guess winning cures everything huh?

RW is basically in the same situation Cam was in at the beginning of last year. Mediocre receivers, bad o-line, good TE and the defense not playing as well as they are capable of. I'm taking Cam over him every time but if anyone should be sympathetic to Wilson's current situation it should be us.

Bomani gets accused of making everything about race on twitter. 

He just happens to be a really smart guy whose gifted at calling out certain biases... This one happens to include two QB's who are black. Glad somebody in the media is this honest. He's one of my favorites. 

He's good on TV but you really get a better feel for him on his radio show.

Sorry but,

I will never be sympathetic towards the seahags..........never. 

They almost feel like a division rival

And LeBatard is nothing if not honest in his assessment. I've said before he's the best on the radio. I think Bomani used to cover college teams down in NC. Trey Wingo was giving MVP talk to Cam all day as well.

The LeBatard show is awesome. Genuinely funny, good mix of personalities, and very self-aware. Highly Questionable (the TV show on ESPN2) is great as well.

I'm a cord cutter so no ESPN, but listen to both Bomani and Dan regular on Sirius. I like Dan, but Bomani is absolutely fantastic and is completely deserving of his own show. One of the best radio hosts I've heard in a long long time. Both are great guys that speak their mind and don't follow the narrative. Refreshing.

that's fair. I probably should have said understanding of his situation since Cam has been through the same stuff and gotten criticized for something he can't really help.

 

i don't feel bad for him or that pompous team and fan base.

      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.
