Hey everyone…..shall we take a moment to press the pause button on overreactions, take a moment to sip our beers, smell the grill firing up, look at a few mug shots for a quick giggle, and celebrate that we are about to start a new era in Panthers football history. We came out of the preseason with no major injuries to our star core players, and we have a franchise QB about to take over, after years of sitting through a horrifying carousel of terrible journeymen. To our season long health!

I mean, at she skill positions on offense, I'd certainly like more than Young and Thielen being the only ones that came out totally healthy on offense.

Mingo is largely unproven and needs to develop. I mean, I suppose that TMJ, Shenault and Chark don't have "major injuries." They have the kind that can linger or become a problem though. And at least one of them is certainly part of our star core. Two weeks and the regular season should "motivate" them to heal though. I'm going to include Boobie in that number as well.

Not really worried about to be honest. I mean, anyone expecting Chark to play on over half the games is likely to be disappointed based on his injury history. We had to factor that in when we signed him.

I mean, I'm sure we didn't sign him with the expectation that he'd only play half the season. So there's going to be a lot of disappointment. That being said, we paid him like he'd only be available half the season. However, he was missed last night for sure.

Yeah, the contract reflects the expectation. Sure, we're HOPING he stays healthy and gives us 17 games of great WR play. But I don't think that we're EXPECTING it.

      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.
