It's done via a grouping system, with Group A being the best, Group B being the 2nd best, and so on..

I personally would've put Smitty in Group C, but Smitty is still ahead of some pretty big names on the list. It's a pretty fair list all in all.

Shame how much the poor passing game we have had in Carolina has hurt Smitty's rep as a dominant WR.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Smith IS one of the best WR in the game when he doesn't have a retard throwing to him.

#17 to #89 was one of the best combos in the league the past 10 years.

Who would you rank ahead and behind them?

. Roddy White, Falcons (^): Has 200 receptions and 21 touchdowns.

Group A = hell no .. thats a case of only being decent because you're the only receiver being thrown to , he was above average his whole career and he has 1 great year and now hes the 5th best in the game .. bull

4. A.J. Green, Bengals (^): Although he hasn't played a down in the NFL, the talent is obvious. It all depends on who the QB is in Cincinnati.

5. Julio Jones, Falcons (^): He's going into the perfect situation: a tremendous quarterback and Roddy White on the opposite side. Jones will see single coverage all year long and should put up some impressive numbers as a rookie.

Once again Bull they are above 15 other receivers that have played a down of football , and you can say they have talent , ( dwayne jarrett had talent too) but you can't rank someone that has done nothing. /rant

My coworker, a Chargers diehard, was talking about the rumors that Smitty make come to my hometown team if he leaves the Panthers. I would love to see 89 play for the Chargers if he won't stay. I don't know how successful he would be, but man he was amazing in the past.

You could fill a good 30 minutes with nothing but insane highlights from his career.

Manning to Harrison and Culpepper/Brady to moss .. can't think of any others atm

I'd say these guys should probably be considered tied or better

Warner - Fitzgerald

Schaub - Johnson

Warner - Holt

Rodgers -Jennings

Manning - Wayne

Palmer - Johnson

Roth- Holmes

      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.
