Jimmy G and CMC are a Playoff/SB winning backfield. That backfield is going to rack up the GWD. The Panthers could of had them. This front office keeps getting it wrong.

I’d agree if CMC was the lead back for the niners…. But Mitchel got more carries and snaps than CMC last night…..

You're going to get a lot of votes for Aaron Rodgers too. Probably also others.

If you expand it to all time, You'll probably get a lot of Tom Brady votes, but is he really a better quarterback than say, Manning or Brees, or was he just on better teams?

The whole "who's the absolute #1 best" discussion really only matters to sports fans and talk radio guys.

Give me somebody that we as a team can win with and I won't give a sh-t whether somebody thinks they're better or worse than Dan Marino or Joe Montana.

Just for clarity's sake:

 

"Have you ever seen a football player better than Patrick Mahomes? I have not. Mahomes had his 16th career game with four or more passing touchdowns, which is already tied for the ninth-most by any player in the Super Bowl era. Mahomes has thrown for a quartet in 22.2% of his career games. No other quarterback in NFL history has done so in more than 15% of their games. Mahomes has 176 passing touchdowns in 72 career starts; he passed Dan Marino (173) for the most in a player's first 75 starts."

 

"Mahomes leads the NFL with 2,936 passing yards and 25 passing touchdowns, and the Chiefs have re-entered the driver's seat for the No. 1 seed in the AFC. That may not change anytime soon. Mahomes has won 24 straight starts in November and December, the longest winning streak over any two-month span since quarterback starts have been recorded in 1950."

Like I said, Scot, Mahomes is in a class of his own. He is the best QB in the NFL right now, and it's not even really close. If you're going to start a team today, he's the first pick. It's really not even debatable (though you may try). Just accept it.

      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.
