Luvu the only one I really wish we’d kept but we have no idea what’s happening behind the scenes and whether he even wanted to be here so I’m not going to pull my hair out over it.

He’s in his getting paid years, if we didn’t offer what they did, I don’t blame him. If he can do something positive in the next three years he can probably get one more good contract, if not this is probably it for him in terms of anything but vet minimum.

Honestly if I’m EJ I’m pissed. You hold him

hostage then put him in a worse situation to potentially tank any chance he has at securing a HC job in the near future.

 

You have to assume Evero knew what was coming when he sat down with Dan and Canales. Im sure if he didn't agree Canales would have allowed him to leave.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the worst franchise in all of pro sports might not be as well run and functioning as you are assuming….

I think Evero would have bounced if we he knew Luvu, Burns, Jackson, etc were all going to be purged from the poo show org he endured in year 1.

Yeah I know we are down on everything but I highly doubt that they kept Evero in the dark. It partly why they worked to get Troy Hill back.

Y’all just gotta accept this is a full tear down rebuild that should’ve happened 4-5 years ago. It’s going to be 2-3 years minimum to put a competitive roster on the field 

Yeah, probably closer to half a decade. Just depends on how good we are at drafting.

"One of the perks of signing on as Head Coach was not having to worry about the defense" 

Well I hope Dan didn't make these moves without a plan in place.  

Either that or Canales is planning on putting up 40+ everyweek... 

Granted this offseason is far from complete but as of right now counting our own fa's it looks like:

Brown-Tuttle-(??)

(??)-Shaq-(??)-(??)

Horn-Hill 

Woods - (??)

The optimist in me says we'll find a way to field something competitive.

I'd think you'd want to keep that defense intact as much as possible especially if we're planning on being such a run heavy team. That D wasn't the reason we only won 2 games. 

I'm not saying resign every player but damn that Luvu move hurts. Yea we've gotta have a helluva plan coming up from this point to training camp.

I doubt there was a master blueprint and he knew how it would unfold.  I mean, weren’t they still negotiating to get something done with Burns when he agreed to stay?

It's pure copium. The Panthers were obviously trying to resign Burns but he decided he wanted out.

      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.
