Since we have a 90%+ chance of getting either the 2 or 5 seeds, I was wondering which team you would most like to see us play in our first game. I'm assuming we get the 2 seed for this so we'll get one of these teams at home. Rank them in order from the team you'd be happiest to play to least happy:

 

Dallas (I see absolutely no way this Dallas team could come into Charlotte and beat us) > Philadelphia (Don't think Foles gets it done in the postseason especially not against this defense, but hey, remember the preseason game) > Detroit (Inexperienced team, but I would dread seeing Calvin Johnson) > San Francisco (lots of playoff experience) > New Orleans (hard to beat a team 3x in the same season)

I really want to play Dallas in the first round so we can get the pleasure of initiating the annual Cowboy meltdown. I'd like to see Dez fight one of his teammates and Romo crying in the post game presser. This would be a total victory. Second would be Detroit. I just feel they're soft and that Stafford would throw three picks. Third is New Orleans. This would be a tough game but I feel we'd handle em at home. Last is San Fran. They were dangerously close to beating us even with Kaep throwing for about 25 yards. I have a hard time believing they'd play that poorly on offense the second time around.

That preseason game sticks out in my mind as well which is why I moved them past Detroit. It didn't mean anything, but our secondary was torched by both Philly QBs that day.

      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.
