If you think Stroud is in a better situation then Young, all things considered, then I am politely going to leave this debate because there is no arguing with crazy talk

He looks to have a better HC for a start, which is concerning.

Today Colin Cowherd complimented Stroud. Said he was surprised because he had "mixed feelings" about CJ.

BULLCRAP! Colin practically predicted CJ would be "bust" because all OSU QB's are. Way to soften your stance, Colin!

It is early, but hopefully CJ continues to prove all these people and the S2 test wrong.

CJ has looked the part so far. Very excited to see him ball out and prove the doubters wrong.

I will say though, after three games, there's an awful lot of assumptions being made about our players, coaches, as well as other teams' players. I do believe Panthers fans will always have their eye peeking over at the Colts and Texans for the next few years with their scorecard in hand.

I think all these rookies, as is usually the case, will have different journeys to their respective successes. Bryce's looks to be a bit further down the road then three games in. A lot can change from week-to-week and season-to-season.

I’m ready for Thomas to call the offense. He comes from the McVay tree, and McVay loves the guy. 
 

It’s time Frank. You are HC. Empower your people who you trusted to hire. Focus on total team organization. Be the servant to those you delegate to.

If anything he comes from the Mark Richt tree.

Quoting the great Bill Parcells

’you are what your record says you are’

right now,due to injuries, poor scheme, whatever we wish to attribute it to, they flat out suck 

a whole lot would have to happen for them to reach mediocre status 

They do not have play makers on one side and no consistent playmakers on the other 

it’s sad is what it is from a Nfl perspective 

in life’s garden, however, small potatoes

      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.
