Pretty much everything? Ray Charles jokes, mercilessly roasting Slye, having an awks in-booth conv with Tepper and Mixon etc. My comment was prompted by his "You're doing a great job, Kristen, but we already knew Shi was out with a shoulder".

He's entertaining, but he'll be rubbing people up the wrong way for sure.

Good. That's what I want in the booth.

Herndon drops too many passes. Had such a promising rookie year, but is a huge dissapoinment since. Not having a great camp. Becton is a big concern for us here at Jet Nation. Has been beat a bunch in camp. And has had some injury issues. You can't have him. Herndon. Yea. Probably be behind Arnold though.

SOJ from JN - Yep, agree on Sam comments.  he needed a fresh start and he got it here.  We'll see if he can become consistent in good decision making (up there he tried to to much),  gets rid of the ball quicker and start to use his legs cause he can hurt you if lanes opne.

Problem is the Panthers line is as bad as the Jet's. It's hard for any QB to play game in and game out knowing they'll be simeone in his face most of the time.

Paradis seems to be more of an issue from what little I've seen thus far.

Your GM needs to find someone to solidify that line. Trade a D.J Moore for an impact o-lineman. Controversial yes. Got to protect your QB.

I know. That's why i said controversial. You might decide to let him test. The fa market, having Marshall in place. You have to give. Quality to get quality.  And i don't even know who that lineman would be. Lol. You just can't your QB get killed on a weekly basis. Especially someone a little skittish because of his New York experience

    • 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.
