"Would I have loved it if we came out here and scored 41 today? I mean, yeah, but is it worth the risk?"

http://espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=300103029

As though his starting would have guaranteed not only a win, but putting more than 40 points on the board. Okay, Drew. Let's keep the ego in check. You haven't scored 40 points since October, you're coming off a loss to Tampa Bay, and your margin of victory has dwindled every week to the point that you needed overtime to beat the Redskins. Now you think that if you had started yesterday against a resurgent Carolina team coming off two blowout wins, that has been dominating the turnover margin of late, and held Tom Brady under 200 yards passing, you would have put up 41 points in (presumably) a victory? Really? I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself there.

But since you were a little fluffy-poo and didn't want to risk your invaluable body, I guess we'll never know will we?

Enjoy your trip to Miami. Oh, I don't think you'll be in the Super Bowl, it just seems since you like to presume victories that you would have already booked your tickets.

Do you think he told his coach he didn't want to play? I'd bet he wanted to play, just like Manning did, and he's just showing support for the coaching staff.

Football fans can be so sensitive.

Props, Mr. X-Clown. But you were off by two minutes. :D

I predict the Packers knock Sneeze out of the game with a big toe injury...which keeps him out of the Pro Bowl when his peticurist re-injures the big toe the night before the game. Ain'ts = bunch of pansies.

I'm a Panthers fan. I'm new here and everyone whines like girls here.

Well, he's right. We do whine like girls.

I don't know why you guys think Brees' comment was so offensive to the Panthers. What did you expect him to say?

Agreed. However, I don't need some newbie telling me that.

If I want to hear that from someone, I will just go home and talk to the wife.:D

      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.
