Let’s see what Abdul Carter has in this first game of the day. Looking forward to watching him play. He needs to dominate this SMU O-line. 

Watched that game. He really didn't show a lot. We will see how he does in the next round of playoffs. Waiting to see Graham out of Michigan next. I rather have Graham over Carter at this point.

He strikes me as a guy that loves making splash plays and then he goes silent. When he makes a play you definitely see him as he celebrates a lot. I’m relatively uninformed about him tbh, but I’m very concerned about his run defense and if he cares about it or not. Maybe someone that has seen him a lot can add something here

He reminds me of Burns. All flash and no substance.

Sadly Hunter and Graham aren't going to be realistic targets. I will never understand how fans think it's cool to win games late and fall down on the draft board.

 

This draft wasn't exactly loaded with star talent to begin with. Guys like Hunter/Graham were talents that could be built around on defense.

 

At this point just draft Tmac and all defense after that.

You expect me to be miserable because we won?

 

I literally said in the game thread I hope we lose the game but Bryce plays well. Instead of quoting that comment you go into a thread about Bryce Young to try and prove a point.

 

Cmon man stop trolling.

      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.
