Haha, and Coach Eric Taylor (John Fox) being a great coach but pushed out of his job because idiotic fans moan and cry over non-perfect seasons so the Panthers hire Joe McCoy (Bill Cowher) who ends up not being the oh-so-perfect god-send... etc. :D

I could make up comparisons all day, however the ones you guys mentioned are fairly intriguing.

Jake Delhomme was no Jason Street though, a broken finger doesn't compare to paralysis of your lower half. Nor did Delhomme have the reputation of dominance that Street had.

I actually feel like its gotten better..I like the twist they're using this season with having Coach Taylor going to a struggling school, even though its unrealistic that THAT many players would be so bad at the new school if they just split the original high school up.

Julie's had great ta-tas since Season 1, don't know what you guys are finally discovering.

As to John Fox = Eric Taylor, at least Coach Taylor won a championship. Remind me, how many rings does Fox have again? :D

Yea well, Matt Saracen has light brown hair and wears number 7, Moore has... well you know. Totally equal comparison of hair color and championship rings :D :D :D

Screw the Panthers (Dillon)! Go East Dillon Lions!!!

I was just mentioning to a friend that since this next year will be the show's last season, Vandy's president should be on a plane down to Dillon for a meeting with Coach Taylor. I think he looks and talks like Derek Dooley.

      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.
