I'm not the world's biggest Trey Lance fan but to be fair, it's kinda hard to blame anybody for opting out of last season.

 

 

if trevor lawrence could put his nuts on the table, and justin fields as well for that matter, you can do the same. i don't think it's wrong to want a quarterback that loves football more than money. there will be apologists from here to eternity, but how many other top prospects opted out?

Imagine questioning people's integrity like this to get attention on a message board, get a life

there are no matters of integrity being questioned here. there are factors of risk mitigation, injury fears, and other factors that produce cloudy judgment and doubt in a person that makes them vulnerable to escape routes and excuse making. are those traits you want in your quarterback? 

i couldn't give a damn about attention. there was discourse here about trey lance and I gave my opinion. if you want to pearl clutch about that, it's your problem not mine.

This guy made the best decision for himself given the information provided at the time, let's attack his character for fun

problem here is that you've probably already fallen in love with the kid by watching youtube videos and you defy anyone to say anything negative about him because you're so locked in that you can't see past your nose,

He's fourth rated in my basement mock draft but go ahead

I don't think it's wrong to love your health more than football.

This past year was a unique situation. It's not like he was saying "nah, I don't feel like it".

by his own admission he didn't opt out because of covid, he said plainly himself that he opted out to "prepare for the NFL draft on his own." go look it up.

Sounds like a professional to me and smart. College ball means nothing except for the players that will not make it to the NFL. Just practice anyways. Go Lance.

The season was still postponed because of the virus.

Taking any of this as an indication that he doesn't love the game seems like a stretch to me.

Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields likely would have opted out of SPRING football. Has nothing to do with nuts.  They are all first round picks prepping for the NFL draft.  College football is played in the fall.   His conference should of played in the fall. 

Trey Lance played every game he could of during the season.  That ended up being only 1 game.   

It makes no sense for a projected draft pick (not just first round) to go put a beating on their body in a spring season in advance of the NFL summer camps and fall season.

      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.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      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.
