John Boy and Billy from WRFX morning show? No I didn’t click the link to listen because I already know the content based on your posting history. Just figured I’d clutter up your thread, as you do to others. 

Oh no not cluttered threads that would really spoil our party celebrating our 10-24 record with Matt Rhule!

Hey thanks for the help.  But hey, that's all you do.

Listened to the podcast. 

In a nutshell they think we should stop the run game.   Wow, didn't think of that.

Run defense was a major liability last season and we sat on our hands even after losing players like Reddick. At the end of the day we didn't do enough to prevent this from continuing to be a thorn in our side. That's on mgmt.

I don't understand why the officiating isn't considered a problem by either John or Billy.  Their argument is that the Panthers shouldn't have let it be that close.  Ok, fair enough.  However, what if both teams had played out of their minds - a great game.  Then that call gets made at the end and the Panthers lose.  Is it a problem then?

Officials need to be held accountable.  The rule in question is actually pretty clear, and it wasn't called the way it was written.  Had it been called that way, you're faced with the prospect of a rookie kicker making an NFL record field goal.  I'll take that.

My point here is that the performance of either team should not impact the officiating.  Whether a team is performing well or poorly, the officiating should be the same.

Wow.  So insightful.  No clutter there.

    • 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.
