Inactives for tonight (WR Martin leapfrogged K Moore in the lineup)

Looks like Sutton has passed up Goodson too. That's a damn shame...I was expecting big things from Goodson. Evidently, he's not practicing very well.

A lot of has to do with the abundance of talent we have. We have A LOT of second tier players that are showing a lot of potential. Its not always a bad thing when you are able to replace a guy with a lot of promise with a guy with a lot of promise. Got to try and get these players some looks.

I like Goodson a lot too and I think he will be good but Sutton has been really good so far also. Same with K. Moore, he has had flashes but I think Martin may be even better. Gonna find out.

one of the things that i noticed at training camp and mentioned before is that he is pretty immature.....not really in a bad way but he's very much like a kid. considering the fumbling issues and the lack of production in the game, especially in regards to returns, i can see them making that change.

since martin has some good experience in the return game he might be the answer. i hope he is anyway. i don't care who it is...i just want them to get the job done.

hopefully we have our welker/proehl guy in martin.

    • 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.
