One or two of our dimmer bulbs are still riding that train.

Im not backing them at all, but talking poo about the team, and calling them retards everyday for the next 12 months is gonna get really boring, really fast.  At this point it is what it is.

There has to be a balance between calling out the team and actually providing value to this site.

I disagree, unless CMC changes positions I doubt he ever plays a full season ever again. 

I mean, to be honest, not many RB's do that get any kind of starter workload.

It's going to hurt to see our best player leave the team, however, it's never a great thing when your best player is a tailback.

He's one of my favorite players to watch, gonna sting seeing him crush in Buffalo.

But, whatever. This is only one reason I won't go to another Panthers game, nor will I wear Panthers stuff. It's not the top reason by any stretch. You're giving up your best player so Matt Rhule can draft a trash QB or some loser that Rhule recruited in HS. But if y'all are willing to pony up thousands of dollars in PSLs to watch 0-17, hey, go right ahead.

If your best player is an oft injured running back your team was never worth watching anyways.

CMC is a luxury item we can't afford. He's the hood ornament to a quality roster, and we need building blocks.

The Rams experiment paying off will encourage someone who is a serious championship contender to mortgage their future to get pieces for a run at a Super Bowl title this year.

 

...the more I think about it, the more I realize we probably should have done that back in 2015.

      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.
