We should ALL root for Joe Tiger King Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals

I wouldn't say I'm a "newer poster". 😃 I've been a member here talking about Jake Delhomme vs. Rodney Peete. 😂 That being said. We need to fix the offensive line AND somehow draft our next franchise QB. There have been several QBs drafted over the years that the "experts" didn't think they would amount to much, but they were wrong. I'm just hoping we have a staff that can spot a future franchise QB and get it done. I'm not sure that we do.

Yeah I mean nobody is saying it isn’t a tough evaluation, I don’t envy the individuals that have to make the call.

but the reality is that the math suggests one or two of these guys will be good players, and it’s Scott fitterers job to identify that guy and take him, not gravitate to (supposedly) safer prospects just to try and squeeze a couple extra seasons of tenure in by saying “see? The guys I drafted didn’t bust.” 

This was Marty’s undoing while he was here, and it’s ironic that he doesn’t get more criticism for it while people are quick to complain about things during his tenure that are league norms, such as adding void years to contracts. 
 

im sure an excellent running game with a stout offensive line and a defense that Really Flys Around will really come through for the panthers in the colder months as they fight their way back from a 3-6 start to finish with a respectable 8 wins every single season.

but it won’t win them a super bowl.

Burrow is a stud but ultimately I think that OL will be their undoing. Their OL is low key every bit as bad as ours. They just have Joe Burrow and NFL caliber coaching.

I agree with this. I was always amazed at how our schemes and playcalls never really tried to hide the OL issues. Rarely did we plan a moving pocket. Our protections never seemed to change. No real Big formations to add extra blockers who would disengage for hot routes. No TE or Motion whams.....nothing

I want whatever loses the NFL the most money.

Bengals vs 49ers

Thats ugly…. I love it and want it so much.

Super Bowl 16 re-match.  No young Montana to end the Bengals dreams this time.

Is Collinsworth calling the SB?  That would be all kinds of epic.

too many sacks on that kid...their o-line on the Bengals is going to shorten his career........wouldn't surprise me that KC destroys him in the game....

I'm for the Bengals but reality is reality..................

The last time, this year, the Bengals and Chiefs played the Bengals won.

    • 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.
