NFCS champion = NFL biggest loser

I say this because of how draft order is set. The champion makes the playoffs and therefore picks outside the top 20, even with a losing record. A record that could quite possibly have them picking in the range of 10 the way the division is looking. They would be picking after teams that performed better in the regular season. ie the seventh and eighth "seed".

For the teams that did not make the playoffs, order is determined by overall season record, with the worst record picking first.

For the teams that made the playoffs, the rest of the picks are ordered by playoff record, with the teams that lose getting lower picks based on which round they were ousted and the Super Bowl winner getting the last pick.

For the playoff teams that got eliminated in the same round, their order is determined by regular season record.

I'm not happy about how the year is turning out, but the taste in my mouth isn't quite so bad knowing that one of our rivals is kinda digging themselves a hole, and that we will hopefully get a high quality OL.

I just posted in another thread about this. No team in our conference is good enought to beat Philly or Arizona or Green Bay. I would love to win the division if we were good enough compete for a Super Bowl. We are not and neither is any one else. We need offensive line starters and a stretch the field receiver that scares a defense.

We need another corner to pair with Norman and Harpers replacement at safety.

Which is better:

 

Rear ending into the play offs and getting wiped out in the divisional rounds, which right now would be against Green Bay and we'd have no chance there, but the fact we made the play offs again would mean no coaching changes and a lower draft pick.

 

Or ending with a crappy 5 win season but saying farewell to Shula and quite possibly Rivera as well, getting a good draft pick which hopefully gets used on the O-line and we're in a good position for 2015, especially with the ever changing NFC South and our relatively helpful schedule for 2015 as well.

 

While I'd never actively root for the Panthers to lose, the latter seems more beneficial long term

i hate to say it but the saints blew the packers out...

 

but with how bad the south has been this year i wouldn't be surprised if whoever won it to also win a playoff game...just because it shouldn't happen...

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
