Yea, we just have to remember that this is year 2 of a 5 year rebuild. That being said, I guess we just have to be happy with improvement where we see it.

Also I have to remember that it is preseason. Hopefully Brady has some plays written up for regular season to get the ball out quickly.

I'm with you on the timeline. I just feel like you fix your lines before you solve the rest of the problems. The work we've done on the offensive line in 2 years is 1000% pathetic.

So I just joined, in TX so can’t watch the game, how’s Sam look? From the stats he looks like he’s having a good game….

He's had mostly quick, short throws and only really one egregiously bad throw where he stared down and then threw behind Robby. It was almost picked. Otherwise he's looked pretty good.

I'm starting to think we may have been too tough on Teddy. All we're seeing are flats and slants and that has never been how Darnold plays.

Darnold throws a much harder ball than Teddy.  We aren't seeing anything deep right now, but there's not been a ton of time to do so, but he has the ability to.  He does need to settle in and get some mid range stuff going though.

    • 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.
