Now, if only he plays well, that's kind of important.

That part. The rest is nice but if that doesn't happen then it's all wasted breath. He has never sniffed it but who really knows, maybe he is an exceptionally late bloomer.

You don't need a superstar to win games, that's exactly what Jake Delhomme did. We got robbed a SB in 2003. I think Teddy Bridgewater will do great and win us alot of games. 

Different era of football. As much as I love Jake, Jake Delhomme isn't getting you to the Super Bowl in the modern NFL.

Sounds like Jake Delhomme.

Jake Delhomme isn’t good enough though. Not for what we let go. And Jake at least had a magic that Teddy has yet to show.  
 

Teddy has to play like a superstar to be the franchise. Otherwise we’re definitely hunting for a QB in the draft. The franchise QB is starting in NE.

Tom Brady won SB's from taking what defenses give him and taking care of ball. That's all you need, don't need 400-500 yds a game. Take what defense gives u and don't turn ball over. 

Hopefully Matt Rhule is on Belichick’s level (without the cheating) because that’s the only reason Brady ever won a super bowl

Quite a few Jake Delhomme types have made it to the Super Bowl in this era.

Nick Foles

2015 Peyton Manning

Matt Ryan

Young Russell Willson

Basically you can win with a great defense.

      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.
