One day those goal line ball dunks are going to bite us in the ass at the worst possible time

Hardly a complaint since we score on them, but every time Cam or Stew hurdle a pile and stick the ball over the plane I have an orgasm and a bowel movement at the same time. It's like landing on an aircraft carrier. Only the absolute best in the world can do it, and you trust them to do it, but if they're off by even the tiniest margin they're in the drink and everyone is fuged.

Cam and Stew have each had a ball smacked loose a split second after it crossed the plane - I fear someone will smack one mid-extension at the worst possible time, like in the fourth quarter of a playoff game that'll force Shula to not be Shula and we'll all know how that'll end up.

Hopefully I am wrong and we can all just enjoy the catharsis

This is one of the dumbest ways someone can look at just about anything

It must suck to have to wear a condom and a diaper to games

As long as the NFL does its job on replay review, all that ball has to do is touch the damn plane. 

In other words, though it doesn't look it, the possible risk is A LOT less than the possible reward.

But I hear ya.

Not comparable. That guarantees your car is going to break down or at the very least have serious issues soon. We are not guaranteed to fumble on a leap.

As long as you time your jump well and when you extend the ball it shouldn’t be an issue.

Yeah fair enough.

As far as goalline jumps I don’t really have an issue with them, the guys who do them are more than likely very conscience of where that goalline is before they expose the ball like that. 

However the “until it happens don’t worry about it” yah I think that’s dumb.

You can control that, you cant control what the panthers football team will do on Sundays.

You are taking it to the extreme @*FreeFua* 

The comparison you are trying to use would be if he was the player and trying to decide the consequence of jumping over the line with the ball reached over the line.

If we wanted to use your figurative comparison it would be "hey that guy on tv's dashboard in his vehicle is lit up like a Christmas tree but f*ck it. I’ll ignore this check engine light and all the others BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO

 

I see what you are trying to say, but the only thing you have demonstrated is that you are not good with comparative metaphors. :)

Again, I state : Celebrate the win, don't worry about items you can not control. It's pointless, and will drive you insane.

    • 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.
