Came home exhausted last night. 

Wasted season, fired HC, we lost the previous  game before the half 35-0, lost CMC and  rainy miserable weather pretty much through the whole game.  Traffic was a nightmare heading INTO Charlotte.

The stadium was half empty, but  the fans who were there cheered hard.    These were the die hard fans.... a lot of Mills and Delhome jerseys and the vibe was surprisingly upbeat. Chants of fnck Atlanta on the ramps going into the game, and Keep Pounding leaving.  My son really wanted to go to this one, and it was cool to see some grit from the team.  It was a great memory from a lost season and dark time for the Panthers.

Honestly, Atlanta is in that transitional first year with a new coach. We'll be there next season unless Wilks is retained.

Atlanta has some of the pieces but they are a QB and some defensive pieces away. We're, ummm, not that different. 

Still, I think the in division games this season for the NFCSouth should be interesting as all of the teams are on par with each other... and that's not a compliment.

Remember when this was the toughest division in the NFL?

I would say ATL is worse off but the biggest disappointment is definitely Tampa.

He's not getting away without at least taking a couple sacks. Too much money, he's never played behind a consistently good O-line, Rhule is gone, zero reason to not give him a couple starts

zero reason?  We arent resigning him why in the hell would we trot him out there knowing full well he sucks ass

Getting "another look" at Sam Darnold means waiting on him to inevitably throw one of the most ill advised passes you've ever seen. Come on. We know this story.

All you are going to watch are reruns the rest of this season.  The new episodes come out next season. Might as well settle in with a big bowl of popcorn and call the games as they come on...err play out.

The only argument that can be made is that he has been a damn good backup QB for PJ. I wont steal Baker's thunder here, but a lot of the practice reports and media reports have called out Darnold for being super helpful to the QBs around him. That's valueable if you have two young QBs on the roster..... MC9 and whoever we draft.

    • 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.
