I’ve always been a believer that you go ALL in and live life in the extremes. At this point I say just go all in, give the Bengals their King’s ransom and go get Burrow and complete this trifecta. I mean when you really think about it, it’s football, it’s fun, yes it’s a GIGANTIC risk but who cares. It would just set us back two seasons, three seasons tops If he is a bust. Since the Panthers started as a franchise we have always did things the “right” way and “by the book” and where has it really gotten us? Moderate success for sure but nothing earth shattering, just do it.

If we were gonna go all in for anything it would be a complete rebuild. I would much rather tank for Trevor Lawrence, then set up a rookie qb to fail next year. We have no o-line and a weak defense what do you expect Joe Burrow to do? How are you supposed to build a team around him while giving the Bengals our consist top ten draft picks for the next 3 years lmao.

Y’all do realize the max we’ll keep Brady is for a year until someome, like the bengals, who'll draft Burrow, will sign Brady to a HC position. Even if we trade the house up for Burrow, barring Brady does well in his role, he ain’t staying with us for more than a year, no way a team dsnt offer him a HC position next season

    • 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.
