I think we are going to see a notable difference in this team.   Not only do we have better talent on the O-line but the entire coaching staff is full of NFL experience.  Compared to last season where we had a bunch of Rhule's hand picked college coaches.  Those coaches were in way over their heads and I am glad Tepper insisted that Rhule bring in experienced NFL coach.  Fitterer did a good job identifying these coaches and hiring them. 

I believe that most NFL coaches have forgotten more than a college coach ever knew..  

I think McAdoo is going to bring some thump to our offense. Snow's defense is going to be much better also even though we lost Riddick. I also believe with assistant coaches like Campen and Wilks this team is going to be like Night and Day from last year.

I am anxious to see how this team starts to mold together as OTAs, Minicamps and training camp.

The offense is surely to be better.  It couldn't possibly get worse. 

I am certainly glad that experience at the nfl level was brought in. It was desperately needed.

Campen was a great hire. That man can turn these guys into something that resembles a pro football oline. The additions were much better than last season and showed a serious attempt to make it a priority. 

Wilks is a great secondary coach and an even better man. Those kids hit the lottery with him as a coach. As for the rest of the defense it's still lacking.  I am not convinced they are up to the challenge. 

All in all I give them a punchers chance of challenging for the nfcs, even with Darnold. 

Prove me wrong.

Darnold has not shown much promise but if he ever is going to succeed this will be his year.

      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.
