I think some caught on, and it should be obvious to you by now.  It is like you did not get the joke, which is OK, but then you feel empowered to attack its premise, taking it literally.  Then when it is explained to you, you say, "that's dumb".  You use the pronoun "We" here--not sure others see you ask their spokesperson.  Move on, Padre.  Maybe the next bit of sarcasm will not fly by you like a stranger in a crowd.  Sorry you didn't get it.  Now stop being petty.

 

 

"I think some" is the same as "we'

 

Do better next time..

I'd call that saying something.

Sure, but not in the sense of who the pick was or who the favorite was, which was the basis of my comment. A bleacher report article that poorly summarized a David Newton article that did not say who the favorite was, just gave both sides.

What king actually said about Young...

This doesn’t mean anything on the surface, because the way “reporting” works this time of year, things that make sense get repeated and repeated and repeated and it all becomes one giant Insider Echo Chamber. But I didn’t hear anyone, in calls Friday through Sunday, who thinks the first pick won’t be Bryce Young. He may not be. I’m just telling you what’s out there.

I don't know about the Bleacher Report summary, but the Newton article was very good.

Not specifying a favorite doesn't mean bad reporting, especially not at the choice isn't made yet.

Well the whole comment was a response to that, I never said the report wasn't good, in fact I said I really liked it.

It is just being used as the basis for a bleacher report article that says insiders believe the Panthers will Draft Stroud over Young, thus my original comment.

Don't you

No. it's a needed distraction/break from the other stuff in life that i probably take too seriously. frees the brain a little bit and helps curb stress. 

none of this should ever cause stress. it's just not important enough and shouldn't be that important unless your livelihood depended on it.

but but fitterer said offhand in an interview they weren’t gonna make a choice yet

 

i think all along they have an idea of who they want and are using the time available to decide if there is a better option or convince themselves that their choice is the right one.

    • 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.
