Are we low-key tanking? Donnelly thinks we're half-tanking.

we are in luck, Morgan thought the 2023 roster was upgraded at all but one position from 2022.  He knows whats up

That is my fear. If they still think thay can compete with just a few tweeks nothing will change.

Early yet, but with the early rumblings of what they wanna target this offseason there's no way they think a couple tweaks is enough.  I'll happily eat crow if I'm wrong though.

The Replacements. I wouldn't mind if they just purged the lot of them save for a handful and pull from other teams practice squads to make a new roster for this season. It's time they do to the roster what they have been doing with the coaching staff. 


It’s not a bad idea. Find some highly motivated players for cheap.

Stack picks and cap space.

End up with a few diamonds in the rough when it’s over.

We’ll know as soon as FA kicks off. If we stand pat and let the dust settle a while, that’s good. If we jump in early, we’ll know there will be another regime change in 2-3 years.

Agreed. Do just enough with Bryce to trade his midget ass and move on. 

That milk is so spilt. His contract is fully guaranteed. 

What the heck would it mean if you did trade a guy in that scenario?

I understand that if you cut him, simple. You are on the hook for all of it. 

Is there any relief to be found at all for a team in a trade situation?

Just let me dream, family.

      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.
