Couldn’t have asked for the dominoes to fall any better that first round.

As a bonus the Saints got whamboozled out of drafting Patrick Mahomes just after us. Lattimore is nice but a cornerback isn’t a once in a generation franchise game changer like Mahomes would have been.

That would have seriously BLOWN!  I don't mind KC getting a good quarterback but can you imagine if the Saints nabbed Mahomes......kill me now.

Leonard Fournette : C+  Not saying he is going to turn into being a terrible draft pick but I am glad it ended up being McCaffery for us.  For how we use him, we defiantly got the better guy between the two.  

LF has been somewhat of a headcase, but I will say it's hard to run the ball when you have 8 stacking the box because your alcoholic QB throws like an old woman.

That would have sucked so fuging bad. Imagine Brees to Mahomes. That’s like Favre to Rodgers but even better.

Fournette is a good player but he’s had the chips stacked against him. Hard taking that kind of punishment especially when every defense knows you’re gonna run the poo out of the ball because your QB sucks. Wonder if Foles will bring his philly magic to the Jags. If he does you could see that offense really open up and they could be back in the playoffs this year.

I was hard for LF like I was for Gurley before him, Derrick Henry before him so forth and so on...

Really glad we got Christian.  He's the real deal.  

Thats why my opinions are free and not valuable to a NFL front office.

      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.
