A loss to the Saints on MNF would be as bad a start as the Panthers can get.

Seems like some folks are okay being just as bad as we were last season.

Are we ok with losing? No

Is there anything we can realistically do to make them win? No

What do you want us to do with your statement? Go outside BoA and form a picket line??

IDK what the fug fans are supposed to do to make their team win.

They need to let Bryce make some plays tonight. Bryce needs to make some plays tonight.

Again, don’t care if we lose but Stroud and AR have both shown they belong. I saw nothing from Bryce week 1. Give us something to get excited about please. 

The amount of hype surrounding this pick and coaching staff all offseason to come out and fall flat on their face…  talk is cheap. It’s time to show us something

Is it, though? Granted, I didn't watch him a ton at Alabama, but it feels like this year the small-ball offense is very much intentional. We surrounded Bryce with a bunch of solid veterans - nobody that's going to play like a superstar, but a bunch of reliable, experienced skill players that can help Bryce ease into things.

It'll be interesting to see if we open up the playbook more as the season goes on.

experienced vets doesn't = it suits a quick small ball attack.   I think that will be a big problem overall on the year with the Bryce rookie plan. 

Thielen and TMJ don't fit it.  Our RBs don't fit it.   Then factor in Frank has the call sheet.

I agree with this, it felt like they were coddling him in that first game, let the kid play!

Yep

when all the NFL attempts to be vertical, the Panthers have ‘small ball’

You sure? I thought the answer was to throw tantrums on a message board 🤔

you do both simultaneously just to make sure you've got all your bases covered.

it's like eating bad sushi. afterwards sit on the can with a trash can in front of you just to make sure you're ready for anything. 

or maybe it's nothing like that at all.

    • 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.
