How are they baked? That’s exactly what they have spent, and are still committed to. And still don’t have a 2022 QB signed. 60M for a below average year, an awful half season, and a guy who was on the couch as the hope for the future. 

They are baked because we haven't spent 60 million yet.  We've spent 42 million.  We are committed to spend 18 next year.  He's trying to say we've spent 60 million over two years.  We haven't.  We've spent or committed to spend 60 million over three years.

We're going to spend more yet since our starter for next year is not going to be Darnold.

I just don't like when people say things that aren't true to generate buzz.

Meh, irrelevant sports expert that pumps out more unreadable insights that has been discussed on the Huddle for weeks.

There are too many places to get good Panther content and not crap produced by a dinosaur working at PFT dreaming of their glory days when there weren't better options readily available on the internet.

A long article pretty much telling us we should have just drafted Justin Fields and signed Andy Dalton or something. This team is so dumb.

Summed up nicely.  Hopefully lesson learned.  I think there was a logical decision to release Cam.  At that point in time.  Same for the TB and Darnold signing.  But damn it does look incredibly stupid now.

If they had kept Asswater and drafted Fields that would have probably been the best move. I think despite the fans best intentions, the team listens to us a little too much LOL.

This group of Huddlers was gloom and doom for the past month and probably rightly so--how did a good game by the OL and 9 plays from Cam change that?  Now we are talking playoffs--what a roller coaster of emotion most Huddlers willingly board. It is like watching a crying baby suddenly start laughing because someone makes a funny face.

I'm sure it has a lot to do with how incompetent the team looked for the last month - and all of a sudden came out with one key change and beat the piss out of the team that had the best record in the league. Before you hit the quote button and point out that the other team was without their MVP level QB and best WR, I'll say I know it is an overreaction for sure, but forgive fans for wanting to be excited since we haven't been in a long time.

Totally agree here. I will add to this.  I actually think it was 3 things:

1. The Cam Factor as mentioned. Nothing more to say.  

2.  PJ gets lost in this but I think he gave the offense a couple wrinkles that allowed effectiveness between the 20s.

3.  The biggest liability on offense was not on the field.  I had doubts about Sam but gave him the benefit of the doubt in the beginning.but Yesterday proved this experiment was a failure.  
 

Yes, AZ was without a star QB yesterday, but we have been hamstrung without a functioning QB all 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.

      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.
