Don't totally gut this team

Lol not at all. The Eagles won the SB in 2018, blew it up after 2019, and went back to the playoffs in 2021 and are SB contenders in 2022. Playoffs in year 2 of a rookie HC/QB regime and contention in year 3 is absolutely doable provided you get those two right. 

Lol David Tepper has zero track record of winning. The eagles won a super bowl. They had their super bowl winning GM in place to do this rebuild. Scott Fitterer has proven nothing. 
 

three years is the absolute most optimistic view one can have, and that’s stretching it. Also can the eagles win a playoff game before we crown this is a miraculous 3 year turnaround? They only got in last year due to a terrible division and lost in the WC.

Veteran WRs and Rookie QBs don't mix well. IE Smitty and Newton.   Better examples are of Rookie WRs and Rookie QBs jelling like Burrow and Chase or Tua and Waddle.  Before you mention Diggs/Allen or Hopkins/Murray.....make sure you recognize Moore isn't even close to these WR1s.

This is silly.

Steve Smith had 1,400 yards during Cam's rookie season and was NFL comeback player of the year.

Diggs broke 1K yards 2/5 years in Minnesota.    It wasn't until he was matched with Allen that he was recognized as being elite.  Moore's numbers are very similar.

And Tua also has VETERAN WR, Tyreek Hill who is in top 5 of receiving yards this year.

Moore is humble, hard working, and very talented.  He's EXACTLY what you want a rookie to have in a WR.

Chinn is the only one you mention that a team can be built around.

Everyone else should be sold for draft capital if you have a good GM, which the Panthers do not have.

Doesn't matter now. CMC is gone to a conference team. You only come by RBs like Faulk or CMC who can supercharge any offense 1 to 3 times in a decade.

Not his fault he was never paired with an OC that could utilize him. Sean Payton wanted to work with CMC too. Oh well. There goes that bargaining chip.

Off the top of my head Luck did well Reggie Wayne, Watson did well with Hopkins, Herbert’s done well with Keenan Allen.  It’s not rare at all, in reality the statement should be good WRs and bad QBs don’t generally gel.

    • 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.
