we went to the superbowl with smitty, moose and proehl...3 guys...

This is true, but we went to the SB with a 24-year old Smitty, not a 31 year old Smitty. Big difference there. I'm all for LaFell and Jarrett rotating situationally, and I know there were extenuating circumstances on the Giants defensive packages late in the game that made Jarrett look like an all-pro, but the guy deserves a shot to be in the majority of our 2 WR sets. Maybe it should be more of a 65-35 split favoring Jarrett.

Nethier One of them can beat press coverage so it really doesn't matter. Jerry put the league over his team and fans this offseason. We had chance after chance too get a #2 wr and we didn't because of Jerry's budget. Now were stuck with a rookie with ok hands and a 4 year pussy who with his size alone should punish press coverage and be open for alot of slants and in routes. But he just can't get open nethier one can get open or beat single coverage.

jarrett is a good wr..i just dont think he has really had alot of chances because he'd come in and make mistakes and they'd pull him and not give him a shot to learn from it. yea fox and hurney drafted him because he was supposed to be the next keyshawn johnson, but a huge kid like that should be a great possession receiver but i guess fox forgot how to teach that, since we had moose and keyshawn which already knew how to play that role. lafell will get better, i think just like the clausen situation he needs time to learn maybe get out there every once in a while make some mistakes and make some good plays and learn how to make it work. he's not gonna learn anything if he's on the bench the whole time. Whenever Matt became QB is when jarrett started playin better because he was also getting alot more throws his way. Jake didn't like throwing the ball to anyone but moose and smitty.

      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.
