Going To The Season Opener in Arizona 9/11/11

So my mom got a new job and will be moving to Phoenix in August. She is a lifelong Raider fan, but avidly follows the Panthers because of me. She was looking at the Panthers schedule and invited me and the wife to come stay at her house and go to the game on Sunday. Is anybody here familiar with Phoenix at all? Any good bars or anything like that to go to on Saturday night? Hopefully Cam is the starting QB so I can say I saw him play his first NFL game in person, which not too many other Panther fans will be able to say. I don't wear jersey's often, but I think this definitely calls for the blue alternate jersey so I stick out from the sea of red there. Anybody else here going to be there?

That's AWESOME! I'm jealous! Hope u have fun... U should definitely buy Cam's alternate blue jersey once He gets a #... make a sign and I'd think u would be a lock to make Tv... Have fun

Yeah I've been waiting for this damn lockout to end so they can hurry up and sign Cam and give him a number. What really pisses me off is last week Panthers.com had 40% off AUTHENTIC jerseys. I didn't pull the trigger because I wasn't sure who the hell would be on the team still!

I'll bring a "Remember Arizona" sign.

Um....awkward.

I was about to answer and then I saw you were taking your wife.

LMAO. Maybe I can sneak out and claim I got lost in an unfamiliar city? I'll probably be borrowing my mom's Kia Soul to get around, so that's really gonna kill any potential moves with the lady folk...

    • 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.
