DJ Moore, Robby, CMC as weapons. Hubbard, TMJ, Tremble with potential. 

Burns, Chinn, Horn, Shaq with potential contributors in YGM, Taylor, CJ, Brown, Roy and Nixon. 

Potentially able to retain Gilmore, DJax, Reddick. 

Not to mention an abundance of future cap space and a top 10 pick to secure your QB if so desired. Factor in a small market with a bar previously set so low that .500 is an accomplishment and a relatively passive media presence compared to other markets and THEN you factor in an owner who will throw 10 mil a year and total control and you have a very desirable opportunity. 

Somebody will take this job and there people who will be banging down the doors to get it. Theres only 32 of them in the world.

I'm a very big fan of Nathaniel Hackett.

I usually look forward to some up and coming coordinator that can turn things around. There are no current coordinators that excite me, none. We need NFL HC experience. I’m with you, I’m not a fan of retreads, due to tape. However, Harbaugh is top of my list, then Pederson or Kubiak. I think if we hire anyone else, we are looking at 3-4 years before that coordinator gets enough experience to be a HC. Rhule, obviously could not learn on the job. Hell I would even be excited about Wade Phillips before any current coordinator.

He has Aaron Rodgers. It is hard to know how good he is in situational football when 12 is making the calls. I’m not saying he wouldn’t make a great HC, but we do not have a Rodgers. His other OC stops were ok, but nothing exciting. On the plus side, he could go dancing with the Top Cats after a score, that would be entertaining.

Look back at his history before Rodgers.

He made the Jags the #5 offense in the NFL with Blake Bortles.

So there's that.

      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.
