One of the most pointless, stupid stats ever. 

I wonder if they expanded the qualifiers at some point. Like in the participation trophy generation. 
Ir just wonder about the history of it. Because we had game winning drives before there was a GWD stat. I feel like it used to mean something different. 
Like a deep ball nowadays vs 30 years ago.

I think it started after the SB but there was a forum on the official panthers site too. There might be someone that knows the lore better. I started surfing around 04-05

Been on Panthers MBs since the late 90's.  Yes, Official team sites had one or a while, then the NFL shut them down for some reason; it wasn't just the Panthers.  People used to troll other team sites, maybe that's why.  The first one was the Observer website, in the sports section for the Panthers.  Several floated around in the early '00s. I was on several of them. Most faded within a few years after the '03 SB.  Some are still around, with very little traffic.  As much as this MB can be a pissing match, it still has the most traffic that I know of.

All 12 guy pictured had a SB or a SB appearance.  Dude ain't even close to that level and it's absurd to even trying to equate it; tongue in cheek aside.

The point is that it’s clearly a good category to be in despite how anyone wants to spin it. I’m mostly having fun but I do get a get out of the Bryce police running out at anything positive.

Not sure the relevance to Bryce Young.

You were rattling off his wins and losses as a Panther. Baker is 1-5. Struggling franchises make it hard to win. Having 10 GWDs already is a good thing. It’s worth mentioning and talking about. Does it mean Bryce is our future QB? No. But he does seem to have a clutch factor to him.

I get it. It's a novel stat.  However novelty is not the thing I want my starting QB to hang his hat on.  

As in our stating QB is 11-36, but fun fact-- he had 10 GWDs!!!  Neat stat, huh?

And Baker was 1-5 as a starter in this team just one year prior. We clearly weren’t ready for a rookie QB and it gives you some perspective on what to reasonably expect for wins and losses.

The GWD stat, as I see it, was being spun to pimp Bryce. 
He does have some ability in the clutch. 
But that is a poo stat. 

I don’t like stats  much anyway. They can illustrate a point you try to make about a player or team or game, yes. 
I will put it this way though: do you need stats to tel you how Bryce played on Sunday? Or the Sunday before?
In the words of the great Johnny Guitar Watson, I don’t think so.

      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.
