Lamar has had a great coach and mu h better teams than the Panthers have fielded in a decade.  Why would they trade him of he's still a franchise qb? 

If he can't get the Ravens to the AFC championship game regularly why on earth do you think he can drag this rag tag bunch to the playoffs? 

It's the same thinking that had everyone sure that getting Watson was going to somehow fix everything. 

I was simply responding to your statement that he's not much of any better than what we currently have. That was an absurd statement.

If you don't want Lamar, okay fine. But he's MILES better than what we currently have. You're talking about a former MVP still in his prime vs. the worst NFL starting QB in recent years.

Also, Lamar is no Cam Newton.  I've been looking for his replacement myself and I've yet to see anything close coming out in the past 5 years.

My hope is that they will eventually find someone that is very damn close. I dream that we somehow landed Lawrence like everyone else. After him it was a toss up.

This year I cannot get excited about any off them. But that is where this staff will go most likely.  I just hope the kid is worth it.

I over exaggerated yes. But my point was he is not good enough to get this team over the hump.

I agree Lamar is no Cam but he's definitely no Darnold either. There's a lot of room in between and Lamar is there, granted a lot closer to the Cam side of the spectrum than the Darnold side.

Love has talent, but Green Bay preferred to pay a 36/37 year old QB a ton of money vs letting their first round pick have his shot. I know Rodgers is special, but so was Favre and they let him go for their younger Rodgers back in the day. If GB doesn’t think he is the guy and is trading him for nickels on the dollar that’s a red flag. Similar to what the Jets did with Darnold, except Sam had a larger sample size to see how bad he was/is.

Yep

    • 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.
