Brown is literally exactly what we knew he was going to be. The same player he was in college. A fine player that can help you win, but not a player worth the #7 overall pick

He was the baddest man in the SEC, just hasnt even got to the "you got to double him" stage thus far. Star played better than him though 2 years, panthers need that SEC version of terror in the pocket....

I don't agree with the Star playing better thing.. Statistically it's near the same with Brown being better at pressure %.. But I understand it looks like he did because the defense was more dominant, we won more and Luke and TD were incredible behind him...

DT are hard to gauge, my memory is not what it was. I just remember Star having a bigger impact and he was getting doubled early and often. Almost sure of it.

8.5 career sacks qualifies as the baddest man in the SEC? News to me.

Have you seen him bully SEC OLmen like a bulldog with his favorite chew toy? Joe Brady famously said Brown was the hardest player to game-plan against in the whole SEC. DTs and sacks, that is one of the most over rated stats. Pressures, hurries, TFL, are you doubled, just you force the QB/RB to change where he places his feet. Brown tore apart the SEC.

If the Panthers draft Picket, I will never listen to the local guys again who claim the Panthers are not that interested in him. 

The local guys, and the Huddle brain trust are usually pretty far off. Walterfootball has been much more accurate over the years than our guys. They've actually nailed our pick for years.

Ummmmmmm you've seen Joe Bradys game plans though.  A paper bag and a trash can would be tough for him to game plan against.

I think hes just too young and didnt have NFL answers with the constant problems that arise on a daily/weekly basis. He needed to run the ball much more after CMC got injured. That would have helped Sam and OL greatly, but he was stuck on his focus of throwing and "defending every blade of grass". Another thing Teddy was right about his questions in Brady running a practice skillset. Just tooooo much to over come. Honestly Joe would still be here if CMC remained healthy both years.  

For me Macadoo is a clear upgrade.

      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.
