Something tells me Cam is not the reason why Godellle wants to do away with the Pro-Bowl.

Sidenote...have any of you treked over to the NC sports site? What's with all the Cam hate coming from the Panthers' fans of all people?

A lot of people got embarrassed by being so wrong about him.

I posted this in the other thread' date=' but I honestly would be more entertained by a skills competition/40 yard dash race like they used to have, and a flag football game between teams of current NFL players and HOF's. At least that way, the players recognized would still get to keep the free vacation to Hawaii for their families....[/quote']

A vacation for you and your family to Hawaii, probably costs less than a modest fine.

What site? Link please!

Charlotte Observer is one. The other one is the blog by the Joe Person guy.

And who the heck would be making so much out of a fugging Pro-bowl if Andrew Luck had played like Cam? These are the same writers who made tons of excuses for Blaine Gabbert all season long and blamed all of his inaccuracies and other issues on the team. These are the same writers who are now claiming that even if Luck doesn't do well his rookie season it's no big deal because Peyton didn't play well his rookie season. But they are still scorning Cam over a game where half the players played like they were on vacation.

Really????? WOW...

Needs to be a straight "skills" competition. Those are fun to watch.

Passing accuracy competition.

"Fastest Man" competition.

"Strongest Man" competition.

Funky obstacle course races (always fun).

Stuff like that.

Eliminate the game... its not only horrible, its useless.

They should make the pro bowl have a purpose just like mlb does. The winning conference gets home field advantage. I guess it would determine who gets to pick to kick or field first in superbowl for winning conference. Its wouldnt be as bic of a prize as in baseball, but the mlb allstar games have been once better sence they started it.

Yea.... because the superbowl teams are all ready set when they play the probowl and the actual players in the superbowl are not playing in the pro bowl. So I am sure those pro bowl teams will play hard for an advantage that has nothing to do with the or there teams.

      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.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      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.
