What I have seen are resilient players who fight for 60 minutes. A defense that needs to be turned loose and play man instead of zone. A defensive  line who are solid and what I have longed for from the Panthers for years. And an offense capable of coming back and scoring in the last 2 minutes.

There does seem to be some resiliency with this team. Saw it in the Arizona game. That would lead one to believe that these players believe in the process Canales is trying to convey. That being said, it is a very fickle league, along with the locker room. It's up to these young players to evolve the process! I like what I'm seeing from some of our young players. Handling adversity is also a part of that. That's where the leaders/emerging leaders in the locker room come in. Just keep playing with tenacity!

The young guys clearly believe, and damn so they fight hard!

This looks like the very type of offense Canales had been saying he wanted to have from the beginning. Also a bit like when Wilks was the interim coach. If it nets us wins, then I am not complaining.

Cowboys and Phins have defenses on par with the 2024 Panthers.  I think that has a fair amount to do with Rico Dowdle looking like prime Adrian Peterson out of nowhere.

We can't control who we play against. We can control what we do with the ball. If your back can go off like this, then yeah, feed that guy while you can.

True, but the rest of the schedule doesn’t feature the Phins and the Cowboys defense.  A weak practice squad RB just went off on the Phins today.   

the formula the last 2 weeks isn’t going to yield the same results as we keep going.  Odds certainly favor the biggest factor being horrific defense playing a bigger role than Rico being Adrian Peterson suddenly 

We still are going to have to figure out this pass offense.

Just like with Wilks, the more talented teams will likely beat us. But at least we can compete and beat the people we are suppose to beat. Raise it from there.

      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.
