If only there was an available RPO expert QB to mentor Corral....

RPO is part of the pro game now though.  Nothing wrong with it.  

good teams are using the college concepts that their players used.  And it doesn’t mean an early Cam Newton version of it is the only option or you then have to go all old school pro.

People are looking at this the wrong way.

When the team had Newton, they had two choices. They could teach him the pro game or just build an offense around what he already knew.

Under Shula, they built the offense around his college concepts.

When they scrapped Shula and hired Turner, they did what they should have done from the beginning and coached him up to the pro game.

The last thing I want to see them do is make the same mistake with Matt Corral.

That was my point. He doesn't need a mentor to RPO. We will use it some I'm sure. Especially bootlegs I'd imagine but he needs to learn how to play the position in an NFL style offense or they'll get him killed.

I'm not about to ruin my groove on them today.  I'm just going to lie back and enjoy the sunshine for once.

I'm actually not mad about where we're at. My thing is they should let Sam walk and play the rookie or a vet like Cam.

If they play Sam it only hurts his value. Play the rookie and let Sam back him up. Unless we're bringing in a vet to win now while we redshirt Corral.

Corral has to play over Sam. The fans deserve at least that.

Corral needs to play when he's ready to play. Fans should have nothing to do with it.

I do not want to ruin the kid just because Sam can't keep it together.  Leave him out of the equation for now. You're just going to suck it up like the rest of us and watch him one more season.

Oh let's watch Sam Darnold another year.The Office Reaction GIF

Last thing we need is to coddle the man IF he's the future.

Last I remembered Sam was coddled and hugged and protected.

It's football. Man up or panty out.

I pee pee in soup.

If he's not ready to play you want him starting anyway just to make you feel better?

Gtfo with that sh!t.

Sounds like you are the one that needs to nut up.

Pretty much.

If he needs a mentor to show him something that's just one element of the offense, then I guess we're going to have to bring in someone to help with screen passes, fade routes and other aspects too.

      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.
