Well, one is a rookie, one is a tier 2 QB that is trending towards tier 3 with their current OC. The other two are elite.

One is the rookie we thought we'd get...he'll be great...like we had with Cam.... but Qbs matter mightily... you have to surround them with talent tho. Its still a team sport.

IMO, there are really only about 2-4 elite qb's in the NFL right now.  Mahomes, Burrow, Allen, and maybe Jackson.  And a few others that could become elite.  Getting an elite qb is one of the hardest things to do in the NFL.    

And only one of those elite QBs actually has a ring. One might get a chance soon, but it's also possible they'll end their careers without ever getting the top prize. Fans and media get so obsessed about QBs to where it's as though having an elite guy is your only way in. It helps, certainly, but I think it's more having the QB who can actually play good enough in the playoffs. Even for some elite guys, they crumble under this pressure.

Ummm...

Terry McLaurin, Zach Ertz, Bryan Robinson, Ekeler, Dyami Brown and Jamison Crowder.

LOLOLOLOLOL

Mclaurin is his best wr no doubt 82 rec 12 tds good year for sure and would be comparable to Theilen for a  qb

Ertz - eh, pretty basic for a te a 13 year vet that has gone over 1000 once.  Meh

Brown - gtfo 30 catches this year

crowder - 9 whole catches.  Holy poo he moves the needle

Robinson/eckler - 55 catches between the 2 - come on man

 

daniels has put this team on his back and won despite having one legit weapon

They've gotten some solid production out of Olamide Zaccheaus and Noah Brown as well, but yea McLaurin, Ertz, and Ekeler alone are proven NFL playmakers. All three of those guys are savvy vets that are great security blankets for a rookie QB.

I'm interested to see if Jayden can continue making plays with his legs after leading the team in rushing this season because that's going to be a tough wrinkle for opposing DCs to deal with.

Its sad that you even had to break this down, I love how people just throw out names without even checking the stats.

      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.
