Scroll down about halfway then start picking random names, discard them and pick again if you've actually heard of them before, once you've picked the names of 5 trash players from last year you've never heard of that are scheduled to be free agents you now have a pretty good chance of knowing one of Gettleman's 2016 FA gems that will be a standout for the Panthers.

Oher and coleman were massive hits for gettleman.. he will find another next year bank on it.

 Mitchell was his first.....I loved his style of play. 

I have no doubt he'll find one.   It is how you build a winning roster.  First round picks are probably the easier.  It is the latter rounds and UDFAs and dollar store FA that make the biggest difference.

How is a guy that drunkenly claimed, "I'll fight every n!gg@r here!" going to gel with any NFL team? I mean, I could see if he was Megatron good, but well...

Also, I'm not sure which is worse, the racial slur or the fact that he was caught on video at a Kenny Chesney concert. 

Kidding of course. The Kenny Chesney concert was way worse.

Mike Vick did a great job of not letting that become as big a problem as it would've been elsewhere.

      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.
