Philly Brown. 

Now I think CoKer has way more potential, but Coker appears to be a complementary piece. There's always the possibility he develops into more. It's his rookie season, and he will naturally improve. It would t shock me if he becomes a solid 2.

 I suppose it has to be obvious to some, but the title of this is "Players nobody is talking about." and your response is "everyone is talking about Coker."Regardless,  He is an Undrafted free agent whose numbers have surpassed or equaled what players drafted day 2 are doing.  He is a positive during a time when we have few positives. He has been injured too, btw, which might explain how you think he has been "nonexistent."  He has played in 9 games and has nearly 400 yards.   He was not drafted.  Keon Coleman (33rd pick overall) has played in 12 games and has 498 yards--with Buffalo--an established team with a pro bowl/MVP QB.  So I am not sure that you are grasping the value of Coker--which may explain your lack of appreciation for him. 

Thank you 🙏

I have no idea why Coker gets so much love around here. He may develop into something at some point, but he’s just not an impact player right now (yes, I know he had a long TD vs the Cowboys). People on here talk about him like he’s an all pro, then you watch the games and he’s nonexistent. I can’t remember a more overhyped player on the huddle. 

No, people talk about him here like he’s a contributor as an UDFA rookie. Rightly so.

      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.

      By TD alt · Posted

      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.
