Agreed.

 

This team stinks as is. No one single player is changing our outcome. Just wait and go all in for Tee Higgins in FA. 

We need to figure out what we have here, not scramble to shine a turd. 

No moves that aren't unloading players for sufficient draft capital until the offseason.

For that matter, hopefully with a new GM.

Higgins is fine, but I don't see him as changing much. He's a 50-50 ball master, but he's not an elite route runner. I'm hoping that Mingo could develop into the beast of a 50-50 catch guy. I would like an elite route runner.

Don't get me wrong, I'll take Higgins, but not at the exorbitant price that he may command.

We have no business paying any free agent an exorbitant price. We need to actually start building a good roster first.

Well he's the best on the FA market and we will have to overpay for him to come. I get we don't need to overpay, but at the same time we have no other choice. Our WR core is simply not that great. Higgins would help a lot even if we have to overpay.

I totally agree, but...what I will say is that it's all about value. If we could get a good to great value, then you think about pulling the trigger. But that's not likely to happen at all, and Higgins isn't the player I'd think of that will be a huge difference maker in the long term. 

I'd much rather keep our assets, and possibly draft a receiver.

We can get a good talent evaluator and actually start drafting guys that aren't busts at WR. That's the route we should be taking. Not spending a ton of money on a guy that isn't going to come in and help us win enough games to justify his price.

I simply have lost faith in Fitt's deal evaluation. And if Tepper is driving this, it's just a continuation of foolishness due to his impatience. We're always trying to rob Peter to pay Paul instead of having some fiscal responsibility as it pertains to draft capital.

Am I crazy? Didn't Tepper fuging say in the decision to fire Rhule that the constant trading of draft resources was a factor in that? 

Yet here we sit doing the same fuging thing again and again.

Problem with that is Tepper has no idea who to hire.

If we trade anything we are dumbasses

You can’t wade half way into the water and then get cold feet. They need to build a long term offense. Half measures and timidity after you’ve been aggressive would be disastrous. They need to be investigating.

      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.
