Yeah Kaaya is younger and may develop some value for us later on..

Or may just be a waste of a slot and is a detriment to the locker room. Because of one of our most liked backups and leaders got cut. Which cost us dead money. And player moral. That's 2 out of 3.

What I don't understand is the double standard when Gettleman cut popular players it was "BUP BUP BUP"

but when Hurney cuts popular players everyone shits their pants. I wish Webb were still here but 1) Kaaya is gonna be a great Cam backup and 2) it's time to get over all this. There's more bitching over signing a third-string QB than there was when Gettleman spent the GDP of Trinidad and Tobago on glorified Bar Charlotte bouncer Matt Kalil

Here's the difference. DG took this team from one of the worst cap hells in the league and got us almost straight, and took us to the playoffs for 3 of the past 4 years. From this wannabe GM radio "host". Who spent damn near 10 years tanking this team. 

That made questionable cuts barable.

What does any of that have to do with whether Webb was a good QB or not though? Gentleman might have actually made this same move if he was still here. That QB room needed to get younger.

So Webb had a C on his uniform right..

You know teams do this all the time right..

Try to develop a young QB who if "omg" develops... 

Can be more valuable than a 32 year old Qb/WR/Spter.

Since before they played their first game. How about you?

So your reasoning for Cam not being the most important thing to happen to this team was that he sucked last year. That reads like a 2015 fan.

But let's tackle another of your misguided complaints. Do you know how much dead money Hurney killed us with by cutting Webb?

$100,000. That is about 1/5 of ONE veteran minimum's salary

We have a QB no? A paid backup. And we are in our Superb owl window. Are you saying Cam won't be good enough in a couple years?

      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.
