This has been the best offseason the past 10 years easy and FA hasn't even started yet


Recommended Posts

-Got a baller coaching staff. I was lukewarm on the Reich hire but he is addressing the issues that led to his downfall in Indy (retread aging QBs after Luck retired, poor coaches after Sirriani went to the Eagles and poached the Colts). Great mix of up and comers and established assistants. 

-Finally addressing the QB position after the shitty Merry Go Round of has beens, busts, and XFL MVPs

After years of losing interest because of Matt Rhule, and the decline of Cam before that, it finally feels good to have intrigue in this franchise again.

This thread reminds me of the "We've already won the Darnold trade" after Week 2 of 2021. 

Gave up the only offensive weapon we have, very may well pick a QB who we could've had without trading up, and collected more dead cap in exchange for the opportunity to do so. It'll either be the trade that makes people cringe, or one that was still a lot but netted the right QB. 

Either way, good luck to him, because a couple TMJs and a couple Shi Smiths are not gonna be fun targets when camp starts.

You trust the guy who paid Ian Thomas and Dante Jackson over Hasaan?  Last off seasons signings outside of Bozeman who fell in his lap for cheap left a lot to be desired.  He can make up for it this FA, let’s see if he learned anything.

Lazy post. 
 

We paid Luvu instead of Hassan. Value wise, I believe it was a smart move.

We are trending upward and have national attention during the dead of off-season. All eyes are on us now for the first time since 2015. We absolutely cannot eff this pick up. There are enough coaching years and wisdom in our war room now to prevent this from happening. 

Hit on pick #1, given the state of the rest of the NFC South, and we become a dominant force for the next decade. 

TL/DR:

    • 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.
