Scarlett. One of the bright spots from last night.

Yes it was a mind numbing game to watch for the most part last night.  But I was excited to see Scarlett show that his game can translate to the next level.  He ran hard.  He has enough wiggle to make guys miss.  And showed decent hands to assist in the passing game.  

I  love to watch punishing runners.  And he certainly brings that to the field.  If he continues to build on his performance the next couple games we may have found a guy that can actually spell CMC for a series without being a liability.

Here are a couple GIF’s from college.  He looked just like this last night. Decent vision and the ability to drag defenders to the first down line.  Having a guy to punish the defense and be able to run the clock down at the end of a game after CMC has them gassed will be a pleasant addition for the future

Scarlett looks like a legit nfl back. Runs violently, has good wiggle, follows blockers well, can catch out of the backfield and can pass protect. I would not be surprised to see him do some damage his rookie year.

i think something also needs to be said about what kind of teammate he is. He fuged up big time in college off the field. Instead of transferring from the program he took his punishment, stayed with his teammates and program and played because he said “he owed it to his teammates and gator nation.” That to me is a big sign of character. Really impressed me.

Tons of players who fug up off the field, transfer schools. It shows he’s invested with the team and I’m glad we are giving him a chance.

    • 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.
