Can’t say I blame him. He has a small window to make a ton of money. Gotta do what’s in his best interest. 
 

UNC Athletic Director Bubba Cunningham said yesterday that if the football and basketball are cancelled, the school will lose $51 million. Yowza.

I think these guys are using covid19 as cover. They really don’t want to play so they can avoid injury that would affect their draft status.

They aren't all stupid. They want to play, they just know it's best not to.

I mean....you may be right here. So what? It’s his body and his decision. Dude is gonna be a top pick and is gambling with losing a ton of money. 
 

im surprised the morality warriors here aren’t crying about him and other players not pursuing their degrees and completing their college education.

Good for him. Smart kid and is nfl ready already. Tough on the kids that need another year before making that jump.

I'm notnat all interested in another top shelf LB. We have so many areas where we could upgrade that a top 5 pick LB isn't on my list right now. CB or 2, multiple positions on the OL, DE, maybe TE and maybe QB. This year should show our actual strengths and weaknesses and not preseason hype fantasies.

 I will be graduating early and receiving my degree in December.

Reading is fundamental.

    • 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.
