Qbs aren't defined by physical abilities.

Brady, Brees, Manning, Montana, Warner,.....doesn't seem to correlate.

 

These GOATS couldn't run out of sight in a dark night. They won because of what's between thier ears and in thier chest. So people clamouring for these athletic freaks want more fantasy points than championsships

It's not necessarily less informative. The public only gets to see small amounts that matter. The interviews are a big deal if you do them correctly.

Also, the combine tends to be an information bubble. So, if I see an Underwear Olympics MVP but had an underwhelming college career, does something on the tape pop out? Was he not being utilized correctly? Was there some issue that wasn't the players fault? Or is this an Ian Thomas practice MVP?

The combine gives everyone an idea about the physical and athletic capabilities of an athlete but not necessarily how that translates to NFL success. That is a vastly more complex problem to solve. It involves tape study, player interviews/interactions, doing background research, etc, etc. 

The old school Al Davis "Combine Star" method does not work. At all. It's basically what we have done in Carolina for quite some time.

And if you're a local guy you go straight to the top of the panther's big board. It's fugging maddening.

Well the response was to the "physical abilities" and a good portion of those guys listed were incredibly physically talented. Arm talent is a physical ability.

Vince Wilfork just recently said this on a podcast re: Brady. Said Brady was not an athlete but because of his preparation and competitive spirit were elite so was he.

Also known as the Combine - Feb 27 - Mar 2

Are you going to watch more closely this year than before, any specific players positions you want to watch?

I may actually tune in to watch the Edge and Defensive Line positions and maybe some late round Wideouts.  

Pick the best Georgia linebacker available. Period. Or Abdul Carter. 
 

trade for Myles Garrett. Immediately every guy in our secondary then becomes a pro bowl caliber player.

coverage of the combine starts tomorrow on NFL Net.

Jalon will not work out.

other nuggets here...Mykel Williams played hurt all year.  Shemar Stuart models his game after Julius Peppers.  Mike Green notes he was never charged in the 2 incidents that have him teams asking about.  Abdul is training with Micah Parsons.

Even if you ignore that Garrett wants to go to a contender, which in itself eliminates us.  There is no world where we can put a trade together for Garrett that doesn't include the #8 pick.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
