True.

Fact of the matter is that as of about 5 years ago the league was grossly 74% minority. But nobody questions whether the  white guys aren’t getting a fair shot because of the color of their skin. Everyone assumes the best players play, and I personally believe that is the case. Why we hold a different standard to coaches or other leadership is beyond me. Let the best man win. Who gives AF if he’s purple, red, or green. 

Yikes

The fact that you generated that out of “let the best man win” is beyond me but not surprising. 

You know what you're implying and you aren't fooling anyone. This is what you do, you don't even think black people who get hired for jobs you apply for is believable. You're still bitter about that, too

I’d love to see the post where I said any of the sort.

Warheel doesn't think black people are qualified for jobs he applies for or leadership positions in a league that's 70% black. That's a personal problem, dude. And no, I'm not gonna search your post history for the conversation where you got passed over for a job a black person got and couldn't handle it

A percentage of the general population being one ethnicity/gender/fillintheblank doesn’t generate automaticity for a leadership position. That’s exactly my point. Nothing layered to the comment. Take it for what it is and stop accusing others of doing what you’re doing.

"Black people can play but they can't coach, nothing strange about that at all"

Alright, man

I mean the last white CB I think was Jason Sehorn(1990s), wheres are the out-rage about that? What would be the reaction if the NFL started forcing teams to play more whites/non-blacks at CB? Like draft picks, WR has to play with a weight vest, allow defenses one more player, all 50/50 calls go in favor etc. Plus no one should tell you how/who to hire if you spent 3 billion on a business. That goes the same if you build a small business form nothing too. Equal part is gone too, since the other method is to lower standards to make the "unfair" testing right.

That took an awful lot of embellishment. Get your head out of your racial ass, my guy.

    • 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.
