Thursday Night Football. The Patriots are doing it right with their rookie QB.

Should be a fun low scoring, game. Watch it turn out now to a shootout. 

Anyway, I see the Patriots are doing it right with the #3 pick in the draft. In practice Maye is getting 30 percent of first team reps. Learning behind a seasoned vet. They don't want to rush and ruin this kid. It will be interesting to see how he progresses. Wish we would have done that with Young.

I dont. It would only delay the inevitable. Lots of us knew he wasnt going to be a franchise QB from the start and he just proved it.

Okay, not suggesting you do this work, but find a major talking head that even once suggested he was not the most pro ready football mind ever. I am agreeing with you btw, not arguing against your opinion. 

People were not even debating it as I remember it. 

Everyone was touting his readiness to step right on to an NFL field and take the team forward.

NOW, they pretend they weren't saying that stuff and look to pass the bad evaluation off and organizational dysfunction.

When in reality, taking him is the prime example of the team's dysfunction in the first place.

 I don't care where he went - he cannot play like he is trying to play and get away with it in the NFL.

We ruined Jimmy Clausen by not doing that, should have kept Jake to start untill he was ready and mentored him when he did start has the back-up , but alot of different reasons why that didn't happen I'm not going to rehash 

However I don't think there was anything we could have done to make Bryce taller and stronger and faster , he isn't an NFL QB , and the media may say he is good and no QB can succeed in Carolina , untill he gets picked up by another franchise and cut a week later

    • 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.
