I feel like the entire game of football has been turned on its head for me. I didn't realize the opposing QB also plays defense, ST, and is every other position on the offense as well. The rest of the guys are just there to take up space so it looks like we're playing a team and not a guy.

I'm petitioning the NFL so next week Fox will call the game Carolina Panthers vs Josh Freeman so we can be a little more accurate. For the children. Won't someone please think of the children. :eek:

Green Bay - beaten by backup

Atlanta - beaten by backup

Saints - beaten by backup

It is the NFL people. Wins are wins. Backups don't make teams suddenly not count.......see the list above (that is just off the top of my head)

    • 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.
