True about offseason but since it was brought up, the NFL is seeming more and more like ‘the man’ as I go through life. 

It seems like the  divestment and subsequent acquisition was engineered. Like, they had a buyer they wanted.... hmmm where can we put him?

Wanted Navarro then and in hindsight really wish we got him instead of tepper, obviously. 

 

His daughter got smoked today in a match on paper she really should've won. But she's had a great year and is an exciting young American player. Bills owner's daughter Jess Pegula also a top tennis player. Being super rich certainly helps a young player develop in an expensive sport like tennis.

Some high quality drugs are going around out there to believe that poo. 

As far as it goes, and fwiw, Navarro reached out to John Lynch  before Lynch went to SF about running things for him if he could get the franchise. According to Lynch.

Which sure sounds a lot better than what happened. I thought it said a lot about Navarro, like he is just more intuitive than the other guy who took two years to figure it out and then hired Rhule. 

 

Just sayin’. I know it is what it is now.

Lynch was hired in San Fran on January 29, 2017 about 11  months prior to the Richardson scandal was first mentiond on Dec 17, 2017. So that doesn't make a lot of sense unless Navarro wanted to trade for a GM.

Back during the VETTING process, I liked Navarro for becoming the next owner.  That isn't going to make me sit here and honestly believe it would be drastically different or not.  I don't play what if games. There are to many variables, especially with a football team.

      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.
