First of all, we have to be real. This season is over. Maybe we catch fire at the end in December as typical with Fox, but hopefully we get the first pick, and draft a REAL QB, because Moore and Clausen both suck.

That being said, the Defense should be keep in tact for next year, plus with Davis coming back we should be flexible on the linebacking core.

To be honest, rather or not we keep D Will doesn't bother me as much as it maybe should. I like Goodson. I like Goodson and Steward. If we keep Will, awesome, if not, I won't lose sleep.

Gettis/Smitty/Lafell. A few weeks ago I said sure about these guys, but by next year, with a half decent coach, these guys will be unstoppable.

Its gonna be a long rough hard frustrating year...but we can only get better guys..

Even with new coaches next year, we're still going to be hurting. This past offseason slit our throats for the next couple of years, so don't be too disappointed if we come out of the gates crappy again next year guys. Between JR, Fox, and Hurney, we've made a hell of a bed of poo to lie in.

In the NFL it's all about your QB and we don't have one right now. I won't see a light at the end of the tunnel until I feel like we have a QB than can win games on a consistent basis.

Pretty dumb blanket statement. Look around the league and see what teams are winning. It's not with QBs. It's with solid running games and solid defenses.

Falcons, Ravens, Cheifs, Jets, Steelers, Giants are all run first/defensive teams.

Only two QB driven teams in the top 8 are Colts and Patriots (Two of the best QBs of all time)

Still stand by your statement that it's all about the QB?

before we start blaming whichever qb is playing, how about we ask ourselves who was open today? our issues have more to do with play calling & execution than anything else.so go aheaed and chant for pike or luck but neither would do any better with what we have this year

      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.
