so if Detroit has 1 win, Houston and Jax have 2 wins, the Jets have 3 wins--that is four teams with 2 or more fewer wins with 4 to go. The Bears and Giants have 4 wins and both could easily lose out--just as easily as the Panthers. If you want the Panthers to lose out, you have a game in New Orleans that should bother you and you could have a game vs. Tampa Bay week 18 that rests the starters.

We lost our first round pick, our second rounder was a ghost, our third rounder is just starting to play...We lost CMC. Game set match--Chuba and Tremble are our most productive draft picks.

Zod is not a person, he is an ideal, evidenced by the love and intelligence often shared here, the open-mindedness that leads to self-rationalization so common amongst Huddlers. Nevermind. Zod is a dude in a khaki vest seeking clicks and chicks.

They named him right. Pickett is a gunslinger and had a lot of picks in college. Think Favre maybe, but with only the hope that he gets that good.

Rhule concluded that the problem cannot possibly be coaching because the coaches have not been flagged this season.

Devil's advocate: We knew his background when he was hired. There was little bitching. We knew this was a long-term project, hence the long-term contract. Many said, "Three years, blah blah." About 24 games into his contract, the mob is lighting torches and grabbing pitchforks. For the concrete operational Huddler: This does not mean I am endorsing Rhule or want him here. This should not cause you to attack the poster. This is a reflection and it is interesting to see how quickly the milk spoiled.

We never really made fun of Dom Caper's hair. or did we?

It is more accurate. "Interim" is the word you could have used.

the QB from WKy Bailey Zappe. Has something like 56 TDs vs. 11 Ints, nearly 70% completions.

I think the Henderson trade might pan out. However, this list is one that can withstand any form of scrutiny.

Those fireworks are left over from the "Touchdown" supply room.

If they are close, play the rookie and let him develop. If Daley is better than BC, then BC was a stupid pick.

this hurts his contract negotiation position...

until we have a QB, the pick has to be QB...I get the desire to draft a LT, but we can't seem to get there.

If he comes out, and we trade back 8-10 spots, Howell could still be on the board. We'd get Howell and a second rounder. I think Howell can play if given time.

Teams that are certain to be picking before the Panthers in 2022 that will probably grab a QB in the 2022 draft: 1. Detroit (they should be #1 and they have draft capital) 2. Houston (if they make a trade before the draft, they can grab any player they want after Detroit picks--and Houston will be picking top 5 regardless) Teams that will be picking around where the Panthers pick in the draft that need a QB are: 1. Pittsburgh 2. Washington A few teams that MIGHT be in the market are: Vikings, Giants, Broncos, Saints, Falcons, Eagles, Buccaneers A few players who will be traded during the off-season to eliminate a need: Watson- Will the Texans deal this QB during the offseason? Odds are they will. Garappolo- Even though he is starting, the 9ers will deal JG in the offseason. The college prospects: I have no idea if Howell is going to leave for the NFL or not. In my view, there are 5 who could start in the NFL and one dark horse-- Matt Corral: This year, he has shown the ability to make every NFL throw. A good passer, and he is a dual threat. (Top 10--highly unlikely that the Panthers will have this option) Kenny Pickett: Probably (arguably) the most NFL ready with his maturation and experience. (Top 20) Sam Howell: With protection and WR talent, he could be a good NFL QB. (Round 1-2) Carson Strong: Not mobile, but his arm strength and deep ball accuracy give you a player to build around. (Round 1-2) Malik Willis: A few bad games may drop him into round 2, but he has elite arm strength and mobility. (Round 1-2) Dark Horse: Bailey Zappe, Western KY: Makes all the throws with great accuracy and precision. 4200 yards, 42 TDs, 7 Ints. at the moment. (Round 1-3) https://www.profootballnetwork.com/bailey-zappe-western-kentucky-qb-nfl-draft-scouting-report-2022/ Outlook: If the Panthers want Corral or Pinkett, they may have to turn down trades and take the player when they draft. However, if they value Strong, Willis, or Howell, they might be able to pick up a second rounder by sliding back in round 1. The Panthers may not have Cam under contract next season, and could focus on using Darnold until the rookie is ready. If the Panthers have cap room, spend it on the OL if they cannot address it through the draft due to taking a QB. However, if we dropped a few spots and added a second round LT, and addressed G and C in free agency... Of course, they could trade back and grab a few OL and wait a year to address QB, but that is not a move you make in year 3 of a rebuild. I think we have no choice but to draft a QB in round 1. No, I do not see giving Cam a contract (based on what I have seen in 2018, 2019, 2020 in New England, and so far in 2021). Sorry. Not quite on that train yet. I do not see building a line and letting Darnold run this show next year. We need a QB, and I am guessing we will draft one. Going all in for Watson? Nope--we need those draft picks to meet other needs.

Ah, loved the movie and totally missed the allusion. however, if Tampa has their seed decided before the last game, we may see the scrubs. It is the Panther way, to win the meaningless games.

Atlanta is a possible win New Orleans is a possible win Tampa Bay (week 18) is a possible win if they rest starters.

Consistency is VERY important. For example, a QB can have 1 bad game every 4 games and make the playoffs/win a division. But if they do not get a first round bye, that bad game is going to cost them a Lombardi---every time. Look at NE--they have a lesser athlete--the fourth QB taken in the draft--and they are winning. Why? He is consistent, accurate, and smart.

You use stats when he plays well and blame others when he does not. So attack others when they disagree with you--at least you are consistent. My shoe size is twice what his QB rating was yesterday. Damn the GM-OL-WRs-Coach-weather-etc.

Nobody has to agree with you.

A QB needs to be consistent and accurate. He needs to make good decisions and put the ball where it needs to be when it needs to be there. Cam has never been that guy. The season we went 15-1, the defense played really well and we had a silly turnover advantage over opponents. We never put together back-to-back winning seasons when he was healthy and young. We are not a good football team, and Cam needs a good football team to be good.
