Is excusing a guy who lets his teammates down any better?

Teams don't have to offer Jackson anything at all. That much is abundantly clear today.

It’s very early, but assuming Lamar had no power or control in the situation seems a bit naive… 

Letting teammates down can be used on every top QB pick that sits out his bowl game. They have to make career choices as well. Imagine a company not paying you what you are worth and asking you not to let your coworkers down and to continue working.

It's a business, and all the players know it. Some may have been mad, some not. You seem to be relishing in the fact that Jackson didn't get any offers today, but this process is just beginning. Just like I told you that no one was going to sign Carr out of the gate (unless they were stupid), it's not realistic to think that anyone would offer Lamar a contract today. It's not even realistic to think that he would sign the offer today considering that he has until week 10 of the regular season to sign it, and that's even if he signs it at all. 

If nothing else it's the lying season, so I wouldn't exactly take everything at face value. Even still, like I said, the process is just beginning.

He doesn't have to take what they offer, but even in full free agency there's no guarantee he gets a better offer. 

With the franchise tag in play, it's even more limited than that.

With an injury history it gets even worse.

He's won 75% of his games as a starter.

 

lol some of you dudes just don't want this guy which is fine. Just admit you don't wont him. But when you push a narrative like this dude has fell off is just not true.

 

How has he fell off when he's winning 75% of his games as a starter?

I said “hard pass” I don’t know how that is not admitting I don’t want him. Also, seems like pretty much the whole NFL agrees with me.

I see the options and ultimately think a long term deal will be reached like that tweet you posted earlier. It won’t be Watson money (as no contract should), but it should be Carr or higher minimum.

Uuuhhh...no. I don't give a sh-t whether Jackson makes a billion or makes nothing. Why should I? Do you?

The only thing I care about to any degree is what affects the Panthers.

If I cared that deeply about other stuff like this, I might be in danger of going off on an emotional rant over discussion on a football message board.

That'd be pretty silly, don't you think?

Most of the speculation I've seen has him ultimately signing a long term deal with Baltimore, but not the kind of fully guaranteed deal he's seeking.

It makes sense.

Well you surely are talking about it a lot. Kinda reminds me of when you were relishing in Nawrocki's hit piece against Cam. Always sticking up for the institution, huh? Yeah!

      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.

      By TD alt · Posted

      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.
