We did fire him for this kind of willful incompetence so it shouldn't be surprising he went out and handed us a win.

It's still better than him being here and being on the losing side with absolutely no hope he learns or improves. They screwed 24/7/365

Ron is a horrible coach. Yesterday showed that. Once he is fired from Washington he will never be a head coach again.

He will be given a 3-4 year leash minimum but it will be the same result. Best case they end up with 9 wins one year and hope for a wildcard but they will never win a championship with him as head coach. He is stuck in old school ways of thinking and stubborn to make much needed changes

Yeah that stubbornness showed up clear as day yesterday.  I felt sorry for Chase Young.  A couple of times they panned the camera to him pleading with the offense to do something.

Apparently Haskins left the building without talking to the media yesterday.

I admire Ron for giving Haskins one last chance but he should have pulled him at halftime.  Haskins is done in the NFL.

Ron is a good man but he's just not a good head coach anymore.

We almost certainly lose that game if Smith and McLauren play. McLauren is the real deal and would've caught all those balls Sims dropped and Smith wouldn't have turned the ball over. Still was fun to see the defense ball out, even if it was against a QB as crappy as Haskins.

How many of us were sitting here watching that yesterday and thinking "yeah, I've seen this movie"?

I normally always agree with you---and I agree with this to a degree.  I think cutting him today was finger pointing--RR blaming the players.  The team did not lose because Haskins sucked---they lost because Ron allowed him to suck (which is basically what you said)--but if you pair it with the release, it absolves RR of his role in the process yesterday.

      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.
