Seriously you have to wonder why he keeps getting released.....

His pass protection was bad this year per the Lions fans.  But it sounds like the fan base still liked him. 

Have never heard a player from any of his teams say a bad word. 

Some players are just journeymen and are treated as rentals.

Dude keeps getting released from teams. I wonder why.....

My guess would be he's looking for a bigger role.

Obviously, that's not gonna happen here because we don't believe in backup runningbacks.

Tell me you wouldn't have liked to have had Anderson around for that final goal line play last Thursday though.

Not really.

Our O Line was getting pushed backwards.  I don't care if you've got vintage Beast Mode back there, you've got to at least hold the point of attack.  When the defense is getting the push that the Bucs had, it just doesn't matter.

I disagree but it's a moot point.

Can agree that Tampa  was absolutely selling out to stop the run. Person pointed out that nobody got fooled after Newton went out to the right. Had just one guy bitten on the misdirection, McCaffrey could have had a cutback lane.

And of course, there's the fact that no matter who else we do have, we're not going to use them anyway.

      I liked him when he was at Michigan because I'm a Wolverine homer. After that...

      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.

      By TD alt · Posted

      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.
