Is winning the NFCS a good thing?

Do we really want to make the playoffs only to get blown out 45-3 by a real team?

Serious question is serious guys.

Back to back division championships and [maybe] back to back winning seasons for the first time in division and team history respectively.

Why would you NOT want that?

I think our goal should be to go 8-7-1 and win the division. We would be the first back-to-back NFC South champs and it would be the first time we've had winning seasons back-to-back. The former would be a poke in the eye to the other teams; the latter a huge monkey off our back. We would get humiliated by the Eagles or whoever we played, but it would still kinda salvage the season.

He has a point, in the long run losing helps us more than winning. Those draft positions matter. 

 

But teams don't tank. We should hope to win every game and be happy every time we win. But making the playoffs with this squad almost feels dirty. It would be like the bosses son getting promoted even though he isn't qualified. 

 

Still I rather go than see the Saints go. And maybe Alexander/Hardy come back. Maybe we make a trade or find a free agent worth a damn. Maybe this team will be something in December.

Winning the NFC South doesn't mean anything if we can't win in the playoffs. All it means is that we was the average team in a horrible division if we can't make a statement. I just hope and pray this team can get it together and stop embarrassing their selfs on national television. I don't care how bad the teams look at the end of the schedule. If this team doesn't beat Seattle on Sunday we are in hot water.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
