This will help the running game tremendously

With a QB that couldn't throw downfield at all, the defenses had no worries.  Andy may be old, but he can still heave the ball.

No more bringing the secondary in close and crowding the line. It's a wonder the running backs had positive yards at all. That couldn't go on for to much longer without something giving way.

I don't care about the tanking bullsh#t. I want to see a competitive team. They may finally have a decent running attack now after the smoke clears.

Better play under center, better passes deep (over 20 yards lol) and that should open up the run game. The blocking is there in both phases, well as far as I could tell in the mess that was the first 2 weeks. DC just needs to run the ball and not have Andy throwing more than 25 times in a game.

I've actually never understood why Dalton got relegated to clip board holder he had a down year his last season with the Bengals (injured) followed by a bad year with an awful bears team then rebounded with the Cowboys and Saints.....

 

With Dalton starting Sunday we actually have the better QB.

Call me crazy but I think Dalton is equal or better than the following starting QBs

Carr

Brisset 

Mayfield

Darnold

Minshew

NIX

Watson

Fields

Levis 

Cousins

Willis 

Jones

Smith

    • 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.
