This article by Bucky Brooks I find very interesting for a couple of reasons. The first being the fact that he seems to have not seen many games this season as he compliments out defensive line and their ability to get to the QB (yet last week we had our first sack from a DE since Thanksgiving). The second being that our biggest weakness is our passing game due to the lack of a "true no.1 receiver". The comedy continues when he says that bracketing Olsen and leaving the other guys open is a viable option when as we've seen throughout the year, it really hasn't impacted the game a whole lot. 

Either way, if the biggest weakness we actually have is the passing game then i'd be far more optimistic than I am. However, Tillman being injured worries me as I think he helps a lot with the secondary calls as evidences by the way the defense played when he was injured initially.

He has been hating on the panthers all season on the "move the sticks" podcast.  Daniel Jeremiah has been calling him out on it.  I think he's just not a good scout to be honest with you. He hates us because we don't have a #1 receiver and it's all he can think about.  The benefit is you can't just stop one guy because we have multiple guys who can make a play and it's hard to read what we are up to.

I still don't think the Tillman injury exposed us then or will that much going forward.

I think we altered our DL approach....and the lack of a pass rush was exploited.  Truth is Tillman can't run with people.  So whether it is Tillman or McClain.....no pass rush is going to get guys beat.  Tillman knew the D, knows techniques, etc.  McClain doesn't have all those tricks and knowledge in his back pocket (which will be missed).  But I still say the lack of pass rush once CJ returned has been our biggest issue.  Pass rush declining paired up w/ the injury was bad news.....made it seem as it was the lost of the CBs when IMO it was both but more so the pass rush disappearing.

Ealy and Addision need bigger roles.

Bucky in the past has usually always been pretty glowing and supportive of the Panthers, even in our mediocre seasons.

Unless he's just being forced to be the contrarian it's kinda weird to see him be so critical of us all year this season though when we've got the best team we've ever had.

Woops Bucky you just revealed that you haven't been watching the Panthers this season. Cats out of the bag now. You've lost your credibility, and I hope you lose your job. You need to find a line of work you're passionate about. Stop tricking your employer into thinking you know what you're talking about. You're stealing that paycheck.

      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.
