The whole "former MVP" talk is silly from this fanbase who got a first-hand look at what happened to another "former MVP" quarterback with a similar playing style. 

Breaking: he was out of the league at 32. 

He also hasn't looked nearly as good since that season.  And he has never looked good in a playoff game.

Jackson's arguably got a bigger problem. He's been injured a lot.

In my opinion, Jackson's injuries are similar to CMC's injuries but for different reasons.  We all know CMC would not have missed all those games because of injuries if we were competing for the playoffs or something relevant.  Jackson would not have been injured as much if he had a long-term contract.

I don't know if we "all know that" but if you assume that's true, that'd make him a pretty bad teammate.

The 2 first round is not the problem is the ridiculous fully guaranteed contract.

If Lamar would take something like 2 years 100 mill I think plenty of teams would want him 

And then the Ravens would simply match that contract about five minutes after the ink was dry.

I would rather have CJ for 3 1st on a rookie contract than LJ for 2 1st and a league leading contract. 

As would I BUT we might not be able to get to 1. It won’t be for a lack of trying I can assure you of that. 

So now would you rather have LJ for 2 1st’s and a contract OR trade up to 2 or 3 in the draft for multiple 1’s and your second or third choice at QB?

Pretty disingenuous to blame Cam's playing style for his injuries when both of his shoulder injuries happened on pocket passing plays.

      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.
