Going to the Jaquars, Oakland, Minnesota, Arizona, or San Francisco makes sense for the teams involved. It sounds as if McNabb would have his own preferences like Minnesota and the 49ers.

I really don't think he fits in Carolina right now. We are going young and he would put a serious kink in Moore's development as McNabb would want to be the starter. He will want a 3 year contract rather than play out the remainder on his current contract and I don't see us doing that. Thirdly McNabb has never played in a run heavy scheme with downfield passing. I think he could adapt but he is not ideally suited for our scheme. For all of these and other reasons I haven't thought of, I hope he gets to go to the team of his choosing if the Eagles let him go with I think is still a mistake, but I don't see the Panthers as a great fit for him nor is he a great fit for us.

If the 49ers want to have a chance to win next year they would do well to get McNabb imo.

They will already win the division now that Warner is retired, and McNabb might just be able to lead them through the playoffs.

McNabb doesn't really have a choice on where he goes does he?
Like Saltman said, you don't want to pick up a guy in the last year of his contract unless you know you can sign him longterm and he will play for the money you are offering. He could be forced to go somewhere for the year but would be a FA again next year. So teams who decide to trade for him will likely already have a contract worked out and McNabb would be willing to go there. Unless you are the Raiders who seem to make a bunch of stupid deals all the time.

      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.
