Fitterer did himself no favors either.

Until otherwise known, I have to put most of the player acquisition on none other than Matt Rhule.

Fitt looked like he knew what the was doing on draft day/weekend....but we will have to see if they can actually play football.  We know Horn is good, Tremble looks like he can play....as does Brady...the rest we will be waiting to see.

You know your team and coach suck ass when there are people talking about we might have a winning season next year because so and so retired or this player left that team or so and so needs this and that and we only need this. 

 

I rather win because we have a good group of coaches and a good team and not have to rely on other teams to be worse off than we are.

 

BUT we will never have to worry about having a good coach or team as long as Matt Rhule is our head coach he wouldn't cut it as a equipment manager on other NFL teams. 

 

And longer he stays our head coach the worse tepper looks because he will NOT accept that he fugged up BIG time.

We were setup to do a full rebuild when Rhule got here, it would have lined up the aging out of the rest of the divisions QB's and cap space.

Instead, we decided to try to win...about 2 years too early.

Dumb Team.

Yup.

Wouldn't be surprised to see NO and ATL bouncing back to competiveness well before the Panthers.

Not so sure about Atlanta, but NO could certainly rise again if they can get their hands on a good QB.

Their cap is really bad, and I do believe they are about to see a pretty big roster churn, but they have been, and continue to draft well.

      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.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      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.
