Glad he never switched sides on us. 

Also in hindsight not really surprising considering he had Marty blank check Hurney negotiating deals.

This. Not sure how real the threat from the Falcons was but on paper at the time I definitely understand why Hurney was very concerned CJ would head to ATL. That threat certainly helped CJ's position at the bargaining table.

Great player for us who absolutely maximized his career earnings. Not gonna lie though, he lost some points when he took KB's side over Can in their recent spat.

You are a genius at finding the negative in every scenerio.

Good dude. Great article. Anyone know what happened to his restaurant?

Not trying to make a joke or anything, but probably the same thing that happened to Deon Sanders’ restaurant, Dan Morgan’s restaurant, etc etc. 

Food industry is small margins especially if you don’t have the volume. Players invest thinking it’s easy money especially if they think they don’t have to be involved. Really it’s usually a money pit and don’t see their return.

Well he bought the old firestation by the vue on 5th, and was supposed to be opening a BBQ joint, but nothing has changed since his announcement 3 years ago.

      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.
