Okay, it won't be a team with a first year head coach... too dangerous of a pick. Bad season and he'll be throwing the coach under the bus and suddenly Coach Prime moves to the NFL. No HC or GM wants that action.

Okay, it can't be a team on the growth cycle. If they are moving up, they don't need a me first guy while the culture builds. Shifting focus away from team first could kill that growth, as well as HC and GM jobs.

No established and steady coach with long term goals is going to invite this spoiled brat, his brother and his Dad into the fold. The potential for locker room cancer and back room dealings for a coaching change are just not going to fly.

So, that eliminates just about everyone except for ... Hmmmm....

New York? Nope, Daboll is on the hotseat and has been there.

Las Vegas? While Carrol is first year, he has experience in the league and he has handled a lot of his tenure. And if he gets pushed out by Coach Prime in a couple of years, he can slough it off as time to retire. Still, just doesn't seem right.

There's really only one place I can see him moving to, where the chaos it invites is welcomed, cultivated and breathed in: Dallas. 

So, Sanders to the Cowboys. But not until the 5th round.

Steelers and Tomlin makes it perfectly clear that they didnt need him as much as Sanders needed them or any place.

sanders problem likely is that he gave off the appearance as entitled. He was shooting for supremely confident like his dad, but it comes across as cocky as entitled and you don't want that for the leader of your team.

He's going to have to work his ass off to prove he deserves a shot as starter in a situation where he can't depend on daddy.

      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.
