The one thing Jordan needs to work and prove is that he can market and make someone else besides him the "star of the show". I think he really struggles with that. He's always been the guy on every team he played on, he's always been the guy post-career, he's just always been the guy. So as an exec for him to pool all his resources into another player and make him the "face" of his business is foreign to him. I think thats part of why he struggles. Its a lot easier when you're always the "face". Even in Washington there was no superstar, he eventually came back and started playing. It should also be noted none of the Team Jordan employees like Ray Allen, Cp3, Melo, etc show any interest in working for him as players. Jordan gets in his own way as an exec because of his assholish demeanor (that fans might not care about but players and agents do) and his inability/resistance to put the spotlight on someone else.

I'm sure MJ wants to be competitive and win but he must realize it'll only happen through the draft. The draft, however, is a complete crapshoot. Not very often does a Durant, LeBron, Melo, CP3, etc...come along and when they do sometimes boneheaded the still miss. Only LeBron was a #1 pick. Durant went 2nd and everyone thought Down wad the next great center. Melo I think went 3rd behind Darko. CP3 went 4th. Really how many can't miss draft picks at #1 were there? LeBron, Duncan, ???

CP3 should be ours! f'in hornets traded up. The only major dumbass move was Adam Morrison.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      It's not only about the draft spots, the scheduling is a huge factor. We already have a tough 2026 schedule by playing the North divisions, that's possibly 7 playoff contenders there and a few true SB contenders between the Lions, Packers, Vikings, Bears, Ravens, Bengals, and Steelers (Browns will still suck lol), while also pulling the AFC West for the 17th game. Let's just say for the sake of argument we are going to be true contenders in 2026 in both scenarios Would you rather go 9-8 and to make the playoffs as the last WC or worst division winner, lose in the first round and then have to add likely the Eagles/Commanders, 49ers/Rams, and Chiefs/Chargers to an already tough schedule because we have a 1st/2nd round finish this year, while picking 19th in the draft (where the worst playoff team picks) or Or lose an extra game to finish 8-9, while ending up in 3rd (obviously need Falcons/Bucs to get a WC spot) and miss the playoffs, but then get to add likely the Cowboys/Giants, Seahawks/Cardinals, Broncos/Raiders to the schedule while picking 13th in the draft (the highest an 8-9 team picked this year). I can understand why some people would just want to go to the playoffs again, and I can't fault that thinking.  But I'm always a bigger picture person and looking at what is best for the future of the franchise and winning a SB, not my immediate feelings that game/season.   So I'm taking those 3 SIGNIFICANTLY easier games and the 6 better draft spots. If we're a true contender in 2026, those 3 games based on divisional finish could very well be the difference of a 1 vs whatever seed.  Right now the top teams in the NFC are the teams who play in places you don't want to have road playoff games at... GB, Detroit, Philly are some of the toughest stadiums to play in, especially if cold weather games for the outdoors ones.  Give me the few extra easier games to hopefully make the difference in getting home field advantage. Making the playoffs to just lose in the first round isn't worth the first scenario to me when the alternative is losing maybe one or two more games while looking better while doing so.  I can stomach those extra losses in a much improved season when it's for the betterment of our future.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      We also watched Cam take Carolina to the SB but how much did his career change when he went to the Pats? See how that works? You create a post just to rag on player on another team just because you hate. You love to do this stuff. I've seen it for a few years. You are one of the main problems on this site. Not just y0u but you're definitely one of them. This topic should be in the nfl general chat. As a mod I would think you would understand that but no. The mods need mods around here.  This is for Panther's material. Can a real mod move this thread to it's proper place please?
