This team does get high impact players from time to time Like JStew and CMC but it seems like a once in a blue moon thing.

We have had a lot of good RB's over the years. It's just that in the modern era that position is somewhat devalued due to the dramatic shift in league offensive philosophies.

Ouch.  Well, on the bright side they both gave the Jets a pretty accurate grade.

Draft picks in quantity does not guarantee we can get any top players that will transition to the NFL and become stars. 

That’s why we need people who know what to look for and what to scout for. Instead of people like Rhule who were way in over their head.

 So are you saying CMC didn't have the most receiving yards on the team?  Because you were arguing that he was just a RB, and those apparently are a dime a dozen.

The best receiver in an offense that is ranked 32nd in Yardage and 29th in Receiving Yardage?

My....whatever will we do.

The trade being good and fans being justifiably upset are not mutually exclusive. Was this good compensation for CMC that will help us do an actual rebuild? Yes, and that's the right move for the situation we find ourselves in. 

 

But if you're not livid that the team has been mismanaged so badly that we're staring down a completely lost season, a total rebuild and likely several seasons before we have a chance to compete again then you're not as invested in this team as I am. 

 

The REAL problem is this trade should have been made when we decided to end the Cam/Rivera era, followed by a better HC hire and drafting of a QB in 2020. We would already be done with that rebuild. Instead we lost three seasons with Rhule...

That’s mainly because we’ve had such terrible QB play they simply check down more than they try to get the ball downfield accurately. It’s not a recipe for success as we have all seen.

      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.
