Our front seven was just a bad mix of talent from jump street. We needed to add more speed on the edges to get more pass rush but we saw the trade off of going too far in that direction. Sire, the pass rush is much improved at the expense of not being able to stop the run at all. Then we lost two of our top three DTs making an already bad situation a lot worse.

Meh...don't agree.  Losing Short and Poe hurt.  Get them back and the DL is looking stout.

It was never looking stout at any point this season. DT (largely impacted by injury) was only part of the issue. Having a roster full of 3-4 OLBs types trying to play DE was a big part of the problem.

some of these OTs you guys are talking about at RTs.  We have our RT.  We need LT period.  Otherwise, interior.  I'm not giving up on Paradis after coming back from an injury and then walking into an absolute shitshow due to injuries all along the line.  The Oline plays as a team, and bet we had 7 or 8 different lineups this year.  It never had a chance to gel and operate as a unit.

One big positive is the addition by subtraction with Daryl not being under contract, and he won't be for us.  Someone will pay him to be their right tackle.

The team needs half a new Offensive line and almost a full defense. Oh and we need another really good receiver to go with DJ. Down with Samuel,.. all the way down sir.

this will take a couple of seasons. Get ready for more disappointment. 
 

Tepper knee this, hence the 5 year statement

      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.
