Someone says that Carolina hasn't beaten anyone or has played a soft schedule. The Panthers have beaten the Redskins(not saying much), the Texans, the Seahawks, and Green Bay. All four of them, as of right now after week 12, have spots in the playoffs if the season ended today.

while you can say these teams aren't great, or had problems at the time, the NFL isn't a college league as Thomas Davis said. To win that many games against potential playoff teams is a positive sign.

This whole we haven't beaten anyone good poo is just ridiculous. What team out there HAS beaten multiple great teams? Hell, there are barely that many great teams in the entire NFL this season...it's not like we can play them all. If we did we would probably beat them too. 

All we can do is destroy whoever they prop up against us. On to the next one...

I understand that this thread is dead, but i've looked through quite a few posts and am on here everyday and have yet to read something that I posted. Most say, "people say we haven't beaten anyone, but we won all of our games." I posted factual information to back up an argument against that sentiment, such as the number of potential playoff teams we have beaten. It was an objective post to counter a subjective argument, and you didn't take any of the detail I have read which tells me that you only take the main idea of a topic, and not the nitty gritty. Good luck to you...Panther fan in Colorado.

      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.
