I believe we should all know that this is at the very least a 3 year, if not, a 5 year rebuild. 

The roster was terribly constructed the last 3 years trying to piece together a "win now," playoff team that would have lost in the wild card round if it had even made it.

I don't love the prospect of the Panthers being mediocre another 3-5 years, but that's what we are facing.

Having a strong running game doesn’t mean the qb is bad.

Its literally the Ben Johnson/Jared Goff lions.

A good running game is absolutely script for a young QB. People do get that. People are frustrated with #9’s play since he got here and people should get that too. (edit: yeah, I hope it helps him. it should, I want to see him do the play action. )

No one is coming up in here every day saying Stroud, so that should count for restraint. Because they wouldn’t be wrong.

I agree. Hoping for 5-6 wins next year and then maybe another good offseason Jump up to being a .500 football team. Wish others would be more realistic.

You almost make it sound like most in here think we're going to be playoff contenders this year. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who strongly believes we'll win much more than 5.

 In fact you're likely to find more who act like we've already lost most game's next year. That doesn't sound very realistic to me.

      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.
