Gosh, it sure would have been nice if we kept Foreman  and had him to take on the load since he wasn't expensive at all judging by what the Bears signed him for. I will probably bitch about not resigning Foreman the entire season as he belonged with us. He had all the characteristics of a Panthers redemption story cast away by another team to find success here.

Sounds like he was the reason he didn't come back. 

 

I'm not against any roster improvements but not sure why it's a notable need at this point.

Something wrong with having them both at their prices they settled on? We have pretty much nothing outside of Sanders.

I don't believe that both would have signed here for a combined $4.555M knowing that they'd be splitting carries. That does nothing for their value besides tank it.

Then there's the fact that Miles Sanders fits Reich's predominantly zone run system that likes to stress the edges. If it was going to be focused on running power then I'd take Foreman all day over Sanders at $2M. Heck, I'd still take Foreman for $2M in a predominantly zone scheme but with Sanders' ability as a receiver out of the backfield (which Bryce depended on with Gibbs back in Bama) and being better at stressing the edge I can't be mad at the current RB room.

You are probably right in that they both would not have wanted to sign here and split carries. In a perfect world it would be nice but I see where you are coming from in that it tanks their own unique values for the future.

Now if Leonard Fournette wants to sign for $2M to just be the power back...... 👀👀👀

But then that means cutting depth in a position of need like OL, DB, DL, or EDGE 😧

I would damn sure take him! What about just not signing another WR since Byrd is out and signing Fournette?

They already picked up a camp body CB since Mabin and one of the other CBs are hurt.

I think that they roll with Hubbard/Blackshear/Brown and if there's concerns with Chuba then they might start kicking tires.

Well damn. I know we have some injury concerns with CB always but a part of me wishes we did take a look at Fournette just to see. Who knows, maybe one of the guys we already have is a solid back waiting to show it or at least I hope.

      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.
