In all likelihood Jimmy G is signed next week after FA starts.  

That could be. 

I'm thinking the Panthers would want to have their plan in place before FA starts. If they are able to trade into the top-3, maybe they don't need someone like Jimmy G. If they aren't able to do that before FA, then he could be an aggressive target. 

In on every deal...(except Aaron Rodgers).

If it was me I would give the Bears my best offer but they would have to accept before FA starts as a trade would dictate our FA strategy. 

The only leverage the Panthers would have with the Bears would be to make them think we could go after Lamar Jackson.  They already know about our qb situation and what's available in FA. Fitterer has already dropped the organizations pants and bent it over by saying they will do whatever it takes to get a qb.  All they are waiting on now is to see who goes in first.

Very fair. This would be our only option to create any leverage. Essentially let us know shortly or we’ll move on to the Cardinals. But this play is admittedly a stretch.

I would not ask to know right away. We already have an offer on the table.  Let FA play out while they try to top it. They will call to try for a better offer, trust me. I guarantee we have the best offer on the table right now.

Right now getting first pick for CJ Stroud is a serious unknown for us and and I bet most here are getting very nervous about the chance of winning the trade battle for first pick of the draft. If that fails at getting  a QB who do we even go after between Oline and Dline left on the board.                      

Yep.  Really nervous. Had we made the Burns trade, I wouldn’t be. With the extra cap space and 3 top picks, I think you could get enough value to not flinch about a QB trade up. Without all that, if we make a QB mistake we could be watching the Bears or Arizona trade out of the spot for teams who want Caleb Williams or Maye or whoever or watch them get Marvin Harrison Jr.

Best case is we really like Richardson or Levis and they fall to 9.

I think we do, and I don’t know if anyone will top it. Best case scenario is essentially Texans trading up and we go for pick #2.

And the same number of QBs that will be drafted before pick #9.

If we stay at 9 we'll have to make do with the leftovers of teams who got to pick better QBs. I'd get comfortable with the idea of the Panthers trading up because it's looking close to certain it will happen.

      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.
