I don't think it's "okay," but I don't feel the need analyze the morality of every player that plays for the Carolina Panthers, no. The only thing that matters is whether they're good at football. Their morality does not impact their ability to perform on a football field. 

It impacts my ability to support him. I don't care if he's greater that Tom Brady or Joe Montana. I won't be cheering him on. F that guy.

Of the teams that have need for a quarterback right now, I can't think of one who's in a worse position than us.

Some of the ones who potentially could have been already fired their bad coaches.

Thats where you are wrong if we play our cards right.   I think this is actually a good thing for us.  Teams are getting their qb and next season only a handful of teams will be looking again.  Houston, Det, Seattle, ATL and maybe tampa.  So with our roster and with Darnold we are in a great great shape if we can build the line this year and be in a perfect position next draft to get one of the top dogs next year.  If we are just patient we could be sitting pretty in 2023 going forward.

Speaking from the perspective of a quarterback looking for a new team, I'd much rather go to a team that's already starting over than sign with an organization where the head coach is likely getting fired next year.

Only if you’re a sociopath who doesn’t gaf about the women in the community. I’d rather go 0-17 forever than win a Super Bowl and find out Watson did this to women in the Carolinas.

I hear you but what qb is out there now that we even could sign?  Mitch T?  If we were to sign him it would be for like 3 years 35 million.   My point is we would have to overpay to get him here and fug that.  The vet qb market seemingly dried up in 48 hours.  Rhule and co are going to do something stupid like pay mitch crazy money, draft pickett or willis and throw them out there week 1. 

 

How in the holy hell did it really get to this stage?

Our draft pick capital sucks. Our cap situation is mediocre. We have a coaching staff that everyone not named David Tepper knows should've been fired.

We're the worst situation in the league.

Yep.

We are in a hole. Trading for anyone only makes it deeper. Trading for Watson turns that hole into a grave. It will take years to recover from it.

      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.
