No major decision is getting made without heavy Tepper influence and green lighting. We're literally relying on a football moron to blindly stumble into the right decisions. Tough place to be. We basically have a late stage Al Davis on our hands except we're likely stuck with him for a lot longer.

...or heavy Nicole influence. You'll get an idea on who she hugs... but yea...we are already in an unprecedented string of losing seasons with this franchise and I can easily see it approaching 10 in a row.

Nicole reportedly wanted Stroud so hell, I'd rather have her involved than Dave. Chuba was reportedly a pick driven by Matt Rhule's wife and he's one of the bright spots on the roster. Maybe we just need to let the wives run the show.

Yeah I want Hunter or Tmac for this reason.

Hunter is dynamic I'd love it if we could grab him. Honestly can't decide if he should play offense or defense but he keeps saying he wants to do both, In the NFL I don't think he can be a full time guy on both sides of the ball. But say 25-30 snaps at WR and 25-35 at CB might be doable, it would be crazy but awesome if that's the path whoever drafts him takes I could see him being a dynamic slot WR and Nickel CB.

I’ll say this, IF Tepper was the main driving force behind Bryce then I seriously think he will let the football people pick their QB. Now if Fitt was the main driving force than convinced Tepper, that’s a completely different story. Not saying this happened but imagine owning a team and preferring Stroud, but the football guy you hired rolls with Bryce…

He could do it in packages as a speciality player. Saying that he will have no control on making that decision. He will play whatever the HC wants him to play.

 

He can do this in college at a high level, but it's not gonna happen at the NFL level especially at those amount of snaps.

FWIW Richard Sherman says he's clearly a CB and that there's no way he's playing both in NFL.

The only thing I could see is him being a CB that takes a couple snaps a game on offense. Either as a decoy or to get him the ball in space. The Pats did it with Vrabel and I remember us getting Peppers a few looks in the redzone.

I think he would make a better CB day 1, but at the same time if he focused 100% on WR he'd still be a dynamic player. 

In my opinion whoever takes him will have him play CB with a few special packages at WR.

The only thing that drives an egomaniac to double down even harder and get more involved is failing. I don't think there's anything that can get Tepper to admit that he sucks at something that he wants badly to succeed at. Failure just means he's going to put even more focus and effort into it.

      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.
