What I've had to keep reminding people is that GMs build rosters of 53 players, not 5, 10 or a dozen.

Having ten great players doesn't mean jack s--t if the total roster isn't good enough to win. Hurney's rosters we're only good enough for three out of eleven years.  Gettleman's rosters equaled that in his first three seasons.

If you wanna say "yes, with Hurney's core" you might wanna remember two things: Hurney also had "Hurney's core" and couldn't win with them, and two of his three winning seasons arguably came with Seifert's core.

In yet we are still stuck with him somehow. 

That is exactly why I don't like Hurney. The previous responses are all exactly why I don't like Hurney. 

He needs to get his ass back to radio. 

The whole situation is like... like... bring a 3 time backrupted, tax evasioning, self proclaimed billionaire as the president of the united states. Oh poo!

So I guess you'd rather go back to the ol' days of Nortman?

Exactly... We lost 6 games by 3 points or less last year, so I definitely would say an elite punter and/or kicker could have been the difference last year, and a lot of years for that matter.

Andy Lee was having a Pro-Bowl/ All-Pro season last year before he got hurt (albeit a small sample size).

Nope. What I understand is that you can't change the past, and that trading Andy Lee makes sense right now. Why is this so difficult for you?

But wouldn't you want to either improve your position or stick with what you've got? Especially when you've got a punter of Lee's caliber. There's no sense in taking a loss here.

Palardy more upside.  Those of you who are going off of last year's stats know nothing about punting, or you did not watch any Panther games to notice that a ton of Palardy's punts were around the 50 yard line killing his average - or both.  And Lee is coming off a year in which he was the worst punter in the NFL at giving up return yards per punt - at almost 15 yards per return.  You guys are not out there watching both perform - if Lee is on the trading block it is because the Panthers like Palardy a lot and know the only way they can get anything for a guy they might cut in 4 days is to move him now.

Well yeah, if somebody is willing to trade a 4th or higher you jump all over it, but what team is desperate enough to do that when they know that one of these punters is going to get cut anyway? The only possible leverage we have is that Andy Lee has been around long enough that he doesn't have to go through waivers and can sign with any team he wants if he gets cut.

They don't like being wrong and will swing poo at you to make themselves feel better.

BTW Funchess stats shows that he is not a #2 WR so we already know one thing.

No I completely agree. I believe Lee is as close to a sure thing as far as punters go which would should encourage more interest and willingness to deal. It's certainly a long shot though

      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.
