So for the people that were scared for Newton to be working out with Favre because they didn't want him picking up Favre's "horrible habits," how do you feel about him working out with Chris Weinke and Ken Dorsey? Neither of which could sustain a NFL career?

He is there because Dorsey was coached by Chud at Miami and thus knows the base playbook. This will help Cam understand the playbook is all.

Source: Gil Brandt on Sirus NFL Radio last night. He talked about this actually be a genius move and totally legal.

I'll give it to Cam. If he keeps up this kind of devotion and work ethic to football, he could fulfill the promise of being a #1 overall. Just keep chugging, Cam. Keep learning.

Would we ever see Jamarcus or Vince do this right after being drafted? Nope.

the state of California is for people that are prone to call it Cali

Granted 90% of California is baron wasteland, the 10%, known as Cali or more specifically, SoCal, is for everyone! Come on down sometime, you'll probably never leave. But what I'm trying to get at is: I'm in favor of Stinky Weinke tutoring Cam. Just because he blew ass playing on a panther uni doesn't mean he doesn't know his poo.

Also, I've been to North Carolina many times. Wonderful place and very nice people (minus a few racist assholes, but those exist everywhere)

I would rather live where I live with a nicer lifestyle then go to LA on the same budget and live like crap.

Yeah, that's a trade off a lot of people make.

I don't own an umbrella though. Or a rain jacket.

Do you think the costs eventually even out?

      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.
