He could’ve gone to a more formed team if the morons that be were convinced on one QB and willing to trade picks for him instead of the very talent they need to make Mystery QB a success.

How?? And what thought are you trying to say here??

If your heart is set on one QB, you trade up for him. You want him to succeed if your heart is set on him, so you pair him with an excellent WR. And, if your heart is set on him, you don’t flinch when replacing his only weapon with an extra pick in the trade. That’s what I’m saying here.

I’ve seen rookie QBs put up good numbers out of the gate. Outside of Pitts there’s no modern TE that has. 

That's no reason not to draft one though. I fully expect us to sign a mid tier WR and TE for this year. Vet guys who are reliable pass catchers. Guys who may not be explosive or shifty, but reliable when the ball goes their way. It would be great if Tremble took a step forward. I'm also looking forward to seeing what Jefferson can get out of TMJ, Shenault, and Smith. It is possible with this staff that we have some answers on the roster, though I wouldn't go into the season banking on that.

It sounds like you formed a very strong opinion but did not read any of the contextual information regarding the trade.

Almost like trading Moore was a dumb mistake. Now you have to hope you can get his production from far inferior players. And you gotta do it for less money, which is impossible. 

Yeah we should have kept him and drafted an inferior talent at 9.

Or traded up to 3 while giving up similar draft capital and also still drafting some inferior because the colts moved to 1

in both scenarios it makes 0 sense to settle on an inferior quarterback when you are trying to find the most coveted position in sports. 
 

It’s time to get over moore being gone. Name cam’s receivers in 2015 and 2017.

Sidenote: the trade was never going to happen without Moore being included. The Bears pushed for this.

Okay!! 
Now a few Questions..

Do you have to do that year 1 of a 5 year experience???

If you can’t is that the end all to be all??

Have you seen the FA list right now and the draft???

Are Any of them going to be a number 1 great WR day 1???

So again is this going to be the end of this experience if you can’t get your great WR year 1??

Do you trust the staff you assembled to be able to navigate until you get the Number 1 great WR???

I still like the approach of filling needs in FA so you can draft the best player available.  

No order: 

P.Cambell, M.Hardman, R.Woods, A.Thielen 

Woods signed with somebody else already but I agree.. Add a Vet at WR maybe 2.. Get A TE in this deep draft and let’s gooooo!!

I hear you dude, I don’t think anyone here was happy to see DJ leave. Great player and an even better person. Yet, end of the day this was the right move we have been searching for a franchise QB since Cams shoulder got ruined. This is the best chance we will ever get to find our guy. Quarterbacks run the league, a great WR can’t carry an offense but a great QB can.

It all depends on who's chosen. Stroud strikes me as a Burrow-tier player, Young as a likable underdog capable of multiple Pro Bowl seasons. Others? Not much.

Exactly brother that’s why we traded up, gotta get one of the two. I trust whoever our staff prefers, I’m so excited to watch our squad next season. Star rookie qbs bring excitement like no one else.

      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.
