Barely limping into the playoffs as the winner of an awful division…I thought we were against that here lol. I do genuinely wonder if Jags fans are upset about getting in or if that’s a uniquely Huddle thing.

I think having a young QB that is looking the part helps the fans not worry as much about draft positioning. Getting some playoff experience will be good for the next part of Lawrence’s development. It’s like when we had Cam (not comparing the two QBs directly) most of us were excited about limping into the playoffs our 7-9 year because if you have a good QB, the playoffs get a lot more interesting.

A year ago, one of the worst teams in the league...

Today? In the playoffs as a division winner.

Coaching matters

Exactly. And with a young , possibly , probably , a Franchise QB . Lawrence reminds me of Payton Manning. No he's not there yet.  I think with the coaching change from last season we can see Trevor's growth as a QB.  Payton went 3-13 his rookie year. 

I wish there was a Franchise QB coming out this draft and we could figure out who it will be.  The first QB taken in a draft isn't always a franchise QB ..   We need to get lucky

Having your franchise QB on the roster changes everything in terms of hope.

Back to back plays but he still has like half the sacks Burns does on the year. Consistency is huge for players. Burns is probably wishing he could have a game lined up against Daley the whole time. 

Burns needs to elevate his play plain and simple. He quits on the play if he doesn't get an immediate win

      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.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      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.
