Q: Why are we tolerating this team lying to us about Ryan Kalil's injury? Are you really going to tell me that an NFL player is going to miss at least the first 4 games of the year with a strained neck from sleeping on it wrong? They're clearly lying, aren't they?

Yeah I believe someone on here said he actually has a compressed disk in his neck. And if that is true, then he's probably going to retire.

My first reaction was to say: Well, we're sunk now! But really, look at the list.

Only Kalil and Worley there are starters.

And of course, Olsen is on IR.

But the rest of those listed were either back-ups or rookies that haven't shown up in a game yet.

Larsen is getting better, and from the sound of it, here's his chance to make a push for starting next season.

And Worley, well, folks have been saying we can do better. Maybe we can.

We haven't lost yet and neither of the starters that are no gos are hurting the strongest parts of our team. O-line and secondary aren't where our team's strengths lie.

Had we been down a starting DT or RB... then we hit the panic button.

    • 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.
