A funny thing happened on the way to the comments section of the Panthers vs. Falcons preview today

So I rolled out of bed around noon because it's Saturday, meandered downstairs, pet the cat, threw a plate of leftover london broil and garlic mashed potatoes in the microwave, mixed up some Lipton lemon iced tea, and kicked back to check on Panthers news. Same stuff on the Huddle really, SCP making funny jokes about Fua and Nakamura, another Bill Cowher thread, Stirs blindly calling people/inanimate objects "libs" in the Tinderbox. Par for the course.

Then I bounce on over to NFL.com. Turns out Javon Belcher was caught asleep at the wheel of his Bentley the night before his murder/suicide. Weird huh? I thought so. Anyway I clicked on an article about Wes Welker on the verge of catching 100 balls on the season for the fifth time in his career. Amazing what a general manager recognizing the value of the slot receiver can do for you. Hopefully we'll get someone like that. Anyway that's not what this is about. I clicked on the "Panthers versus Falcons" matchup at the top of the screen. Falcons predicted to win of course.

On a whim I scroll down to the bottom of the page and start reading the comments from comatose Falcons fans typing with their elbows about how the Panth-

wait what? what's that?

I'll refrain from a personal insult, but isn't that the guy who used to post borderline CP on here?

He's never not posted here. He's always had a user name. Before Slenderman it was Super_freak or whatever. He's had about a blue million user names.

      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.
