I think they are still 1A and 1B, and we can't go wrong with either.....they are really trying to get the #32 pick in the draft from the Texans, and I think both teams should do it....Stroud needs to be in a much better infrastructure than Young to succeed and I don't think Stroud would with the Texans

 

I also think the Panthers are eying Jaxon Smith-Njigba and would their perfect draft would be to make that trade with Houston, select Stroud at 2, then trade 32 and 39 to get into the teens to draft Jaxon

Read the post again. The question wasn't why wouldn't the Panthers trade with the Texans, it was why would the Texans give up picks to trade with the Panthers.

because the Texans love Young and Stroud shares the same agent with Deshaun lol

The sad part is people like this call themselves Panthers fans.

 

Imagine leaving a team because they draft a player you don't like.

 

 

I emotionally left this $hitty franchise in 2018. I have been willing to give it chances to redeem itself, but so far that hasn’t happened .

I didn't even know that that was a legitimate way to think for a fanatic, but I...guess that it is.

Honestly it sounds like the tact of an immature fan but that's just my opinion.

More like I don’t really care because I’m old enough and realize life is more than a stupid football team and I’m not wasting my time on Sundays  on a franchise that can’t pour piss out of a boot with the directions written on the heel.

I know it's common (and easy) to say "this time it's different", but with the current leadership in place, I honestly think it might be.

Unfortunately it just hasn’t stopped you from crying and being miserable on this site every chance you get.

I honestly hope so. It’s been a long time. 

Roaring Riot...

I know they're marketing, but I also think they're right, partially because they haven't been this enthusiastic in the last couple of years.

They knew we weren't good.

I’m cautiously optimistic, but won’t put much energy into yet. It’s Tepper, so I’m leery.

I am not confident that Houston would be willing to deal, but I can say that I am not sure the Panthers would do it if the reason they moved up was for one guy.  Young is a better QB--and he was 5'10" and 190 or so while playing at Bama vs. Georgia and the rest of the SEC.  Stroud is bigger and he has a strong case to be the #1 overall pick--but until Houston calls, this is a mute point.

Personally, I like Young the person--the ambassador for the franchise--more than Stroud.  I love his brain and I think he will "play safe".  Stroud?  I love his accuracy, size, and potential.

      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.
