None of these moves matter without our franchise QB

Why did Brady go to the bucs?

Why did Watson go to the browns?

why did Stafford go to the rams?

answer those questions and you’ll understand why these moves matter 

Of course they matter and they paid off but you're not always going to have a franchise QB land in you lap.   Detroit let Stafford go because he had no chance of winning there.  Watson wanted out of Houston and 230 million guaranteed is insane.  Brady picked his spot and got another ring.  

When you don't have a franchise QB are you supposed to just tank until you do?  No you have to find a competent replacement until you get lucky enough to land one.  No one knows what a rookie is going to bring.  Last year everyone had Mac Jones as the lowest rated QB and probably had the best season of all the rookies.

In the meantime you build your team to succeed with the best talent around your QB and hope they are good enough to win with them and a good defense.

Agree. I’m a bit worried about all the money we are spending this year as it makes me think we will go QB in the draft. The optimism is all of a sudden off the charts but we have a gaping hole at QB. I don’t want to have 8-9 wins and again miss out on Herbert or last year’s QBs.

That is why i say trade for Minshew.  He's on the last year of his rookie contract and if he doesn't pan out we can let him go with minimal damage. 

It all depends on what Philly values him at.  I say trade away 6 for 15 and Minshew and you can name another pick. 

You get your QB and still have a good chance to address the line some more.

I think Minshew has more than proven he doesn’t have it. He will be good for a few games, like any good backup, and then regress. 
I wouldn’t mind Minshew to replace PJ but as a potential starter I don’t really think he is the answer.

I'm not 100% sold on that assessment.  He's been with some pretty bad teams yet managed to win.  He may not be the answer but he better than Darnold and probably better than any draft pick this year.

All these QBs have major question marks about them.  Personally I like Howell and think he'll be the best of the group.

      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.
