I know this staff is probably going to take him, but he's basically in his prime and this film breakdown is so uninspiring and honest. I see a lot of softball throws that are definite interceptions in the NFL. Will Grier level bland for me

 

If you think he's unimpressive in good weather, watch him in the rain. 😬

It would be nice if rule was kept out of the mix.

You could see him at the pro day salivating over mediocrity. Interesting to see if Fitt and McAdoo get to do their own QB boards to compare with Rhules board which will have Pickett listed 5 times in a row

He was the best rookie QB on the field last year in a generational draft

He wasn't, he simply landed in the best situation. The Patriots running game and defense could have carried Lawrence, Fields, or Wilson to a first round playoff exit. Jones just happened to be the guy on the ride.

Well which one put better play on the field last year than Jones?

Here is something that bothers me:  If you were going to inspect his hands, would you wait until his pro day and do it in a cluster of Panther personnel making it obvious that they were looking at his hands?  To me, that reeked of smokescreen--but they were all there, and I doubt they go to that much trouble to fake out a team--I dunno. I just thought it was very dumb to be so public with your interest with 403 cameras rolling.

      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.

      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.
