Really folks?

A couple of catches in the preseason and you think you have yourselves Jerry Rice 2.0?

Edwards looked okay.

Not "good."

Not even "pretty good."

"Boss of the South?"

Please.

He looked like a passable NFL receiver.

Not a pro-bowler.

Folks.

Let's cut to the chase.

And let me be real, I know you're fans, and you get excited at times.

But threads like these...

You're setting yourselves up for a let down.

A big one.

And I'm not sure you can take the drop.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

"Boss of the South"?? he has yet to prove that he is the #2 receiver on a team that went 2-14 last year...so please hold off on giving any nicknames to him yet...I'll believe the hype about Edwards when he steps up in the regular season.

I have been and will be a big Edwards supporter and fan. What we saw last night was a welcome thing. I hope we see even better during the regular season.

But let's be honest, the special teamers in the first preseason game aren't going to be the same level of competition he'll face during the regular season. There will be folks wanting to take his head off.

But man, he reversed the field on that one return like another under-sized receiver we all love used to do. And he found the soft spot in the zone that one time and made a great catch.

There's more than a glimmer of hope there. Let's just hope he and everyone else makes it through the preseason unhurt and well schooled in his job.

      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.
