And let's not forget, we had a shot at getting Shurmur as our OC in 2013.  We chose Shula instead.

The downside: Shurmur likely would have implemented a West Coast system that would have required some retooling of our personnel.

Even so, Shula...

yes but that could’ve been us rallying against the saints at the end last week instead of shula could draw up a better two minute drill on his vtech doodle pad

Colts could be interesting if Luck actually manages to come back at 100% . They'll probably snag saquon barkley in the 1st or Bryce Love in the 2nd. Then I'd personally go oline or defense for the remainder of their draft lol. I dont think there's an olineman in this draft whos worthy of the #3 overall pick in the draft. 

They'll either go Bradley Chubb or Saquon Barkley I'm betting. Or they could trade down a few spots and get a treasure trove of draft picks to stock up on oline/defenses , which is probably the smarter thing to do.

One of the first things McDaniels did in Denver was to jettison Jay Cutler and replace him with Tim T-bow.

Not that Cutler was exactly great, but come on...

He reportedly insisted that any team that wanted him had to have a stable quarterback situation. That might be so that he can't screw it up.

(that's probably also what knocked the Giants out of the running)

      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.
