Better than going from a sb team to his sofa

This... I'm sure Darryl Johnson would have been happy to have made the Bills roster, but I guarantee you he is a happy man today knowing he will be on a NFL roster come Wednesday (and will hopefully get some playing time that will raise his profile and likelihood of getting paid)

Man, Fitterer sure loves to trade.

No doubt. It keeps things interesting if nothing else. I'm all for making moves that improve your team, but if you make too many it can almost have the appearance of just making moves to make moves. I'm sure that's not the case, obviously, but I hope they're well-considered and not knee-jerk moves.

Out of interest, do you ever have anything positive to say about this team?

I've learned to love the contrarians... 

When this team starts doing well again, this guy will be posting under a different alt acting like the biggest homer around...

I've seen a lot in this place since the Carolina Growl days of the early 00's... nothing is more predictable than to watch a negative/over-the-top homer poster completely drop off when the teams fortunes change...

I could be wrong but at this point I just view it as an alt game...

I still think Clay Johnson should go to the PS, move Luvu to the middle and put Haynes on the outside to back up Reddick.  I would still look for an upgrade to Stanford.  While a good STer, he's not the best LB.  At 30-years old and a career drifter in the League, he can't be in the team's long-term plans.

    • 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.
