If he have the top pick we should also have the 32nd pick since the Dolphins will be forfeiting their pick.  We could probably get a nice QB there if we aren’t in love with the big 3. 

We are the odds on favorite for the first pick but I just dont see it.  I think we still up winning a few we shouldnt.  That is unless the injury bug ravages this team

I've said it before, but here we go again...

You guys act like we can tank this season. Like we have a choice or something.

There's a damn good chance we lose out from here. That's not tanking, it's getting our asses kicked.

Yeah at this point I am ok with it. Whatever QB we fall in love with its time to go get them. No more retreads from other teams. No more hoping our mid to late rounders blossom into something startable. Go get the high talent folks from college while we still have some talent on this team.

Fields is a good comparison for Stroud. Any QB whether it be from OSU, Alabama, Fresno State, or Arizona is going to look terrible if they have no WRs, O-line, and terrible coaching. I just wonder if Fields will get the same second chance as Baker, Darnold, or other guys like Blake Bortles.

Fields looked good last Sunday. He’s on a really bad team that is going to be upgraded soon. Gotta give him time.

he had something like 285 total yards and 1 td and another long td run that was called back. I think he’s gonna work out in the long run. This is basically his first year with a solid coach.

Yes, I heard on a podcast that they are about to go all in on him. I hope so as I hate seeing player's careers wasted cause they don't have any help.

This is the third year in a row my philosophy is please just take a QB with our first pick, any of them - just do it. 

Why isn't Hendon Hooker being mentioned?

I believe he is older (25), runs a college offense, and is solid but not elite at one particular thing. He could be decent, but I wouldn’t think he would be a top 10 pick.

...be prepared to develop and have patience with a newly drafted QB, prolly 2 years...Cam was the exception.... he should have reasonable accuracy, arm strength and high intelligence... an OC with a friendly offense and a qb coach that can actually teach the ways of the NFL. but we need to invest in a qb in the draft...and surround him with good people.

      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.
