Last year around this time, I was still highly disappointed about our melt down in the playoffs. My first year of college, which I have classes all year around but because I only go three days, time flew past. I didnt even keep up. Next thing I know training camp had started

This year, time seem to be moving much slower. We got a whole damn month left. Its hella boring, nothing new. Idk about everyone else, but I'm excited about this year. All the young talent we got on this team, and after our bad season last season makes you wonder how this year will fair out. Last time I waited patiently was after 07 season, and then look how 08 turned out. So you never know in the NFC South

In the past, we seem to have an good/excellent season almost every other season, at least under Fox ( 11-5 in '03, 11-5 in '05 went 7-9 in '07 but 12-4 in '08) so despite the fact we had an 8-8 season last year (not the mention all of the NFL analysts aren't expecting us to be that great this year) I think we'll have a break-out season & end up 10-6/11-5. We still have our massive running game & O-line, a skilled secondary & plus Matt Moore is beginning to look like a young Jake Delhomme (i.e. an extremely underrated player).

Right there with you. I have gotten to the point where I buy all the preseason mags and joined a fantasy league that drafts in July. This is the toughest month. Only 31 days to go

To be honest, I'm excited about every season. I just want the season to get started, check out our new talent, talk trash before the games, etc. When the season does come along, I practically go every second of every day waiting for the Sunday game. I spend my nights making videos of the new clips from the past games. Right now, I have no new material to work with. It's just a drag.

      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.
