"Elway: He's a smart guy, a mature guy. He'll be able to have a voice in where he's going. If it's Carolina [the Panthers own the first pick in the draft], Carolina is bad right now but they've been a playoff team. ... It's a good organization."

My disgust for Elway just eased a little. Always hated him (and Eli) for the way they came into the NFL, but now I dislike him a little less :)

I agree, but I still wouldn't put him in the front office like Denver is doing

Trade down. I'm over this Luck 'will solve all our problems' crap.

Honestly noone with an ounce of football sense thinks that one player, any player, by themselves is going to come in and fix every problem the Panthers have. It might get spouted around a bit (because football jesus is fun to imagine) but in our quiet time we all know there are more problems on this team than QB.

The flip side to that, and the thing that makes trading down if he delcares mildly retarded, is that a franchise QB (making the assumption that that's what he becomes in the NFL) can elevate the team around him. No he won't save us - even if he's an amalgamation of every great QB ever to play the game into one Super Rookie - but of the QBs available he is the most likely to be able to provide the anchor point for the franchise for some time. And a solid player to build functional offense around too...

Run...it's the Panther Police!!:dupe:

Busted for flagrant repetition. But what if you want to talk about a topic? Do we need everyone's approval? I just don't open threads that don't interest me. If the demand is there, why fight it? Or should we go through a screening process where someone approves the worthiness of topics? We could call him, The TOPIC CZAR.

I think we should talk about cake and the fact that not only is it not a lie but also superior to pie in nearly every way.

No, getting him won't solve all of our problems but it will make much more of a difference than any other position. It would at the very least bring a positive vibe to what has become a miserable time period for our organization. As bad as we were this year, there were 3-4 games this season we could have won with the exact team we fielded + better QB play.

      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.
