IT'S LITERALLY THE SAME FROM THE LAST GAME MINUS ONE PERSON JFC

BC was an upgrade at LT the last 2-3 games. Starting BC keeps Erving from LT which makes it an upgrade, the guards were our weak spot and now we got a solid one to replace 1 of the 2. Elf was serviceable at C (also different as we started Paradis until he got hurt). So 3/5 would be new starters that what we started with last year (BC, Corbett, and Elf at C) and Moton is solid at RT. Throw in an OL coach that knows what he is doing and yeah it’s an upgrade. Still have a weak spot at LG with C and LT able to be upgraded, but instantly better than what we trotted out last year.

Yeah for now, BC-guard-Elf-Corbett-Moton. Deonte played LG in college so that's probably the placeholder

Cam is not coming back

If we don’t get Watson I think Cam is very much in play. 
 

To be honest it’s possible we field a better team this year with Cam, a rebuilt o-line, and  all of our draft assets vs Watson and stripped bare defense, and likely no CMC or  DJ.

Newton has looked worse and worse every game since midseason of 2018.  He is not reversing that trend.

I love Cam.  Favorite player.  But I'd much rather watch Darnold continue to suck than Cam outstay his welcome.  It was fun to have Cam back and get the closer both sides needed, but it is time to move on. 

If Cam wants to play, he should do it in a Taysom Hill kind of role for a contending team.  Lot of value for him there.  But as a starting QB?  He sucks.  So does Darnold but Darnold is already signed to the roster.

      Greg beats Brady for Sportscasting Emmy

      I liked him when he was at Michigan because I'm a Wolverine homer. After 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.

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

      By TD alt · Posted

      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.
