To those pondering the benefits of a 5 game Win Out vs. A 5 game Lose Out

On the one hand I love the Panthers and want them to succeed.

 

On the other hand, I should be able to express my distaste for the way the team is performing and don't support the mediocrity/less than winning ways of one Ron Rivera. 

 

So at this point, I don't much care for the higher draft pick, but I am terrified that if we "win" the division again we will keep Rivera's ass around.

 

The question for me becomes would "winning" the division at 6-9-1 put us in a better position for future seasons, or would it handicap us by keeping some jackasses that suck around?

i want RR gone...i'm a die hard fan who goes to every single game. i despise losing, i despise even more the walk down the ramps from 500 level having to listen to opposing fans mock my team, my city and ME. I am SICK of it. I can take a loss, if we're competitive and the other team edges us out...i can accept it. What I cant accept is and obvious BS coaching staff who cannot lead the team to a win when we're in the fight. ie: atlanta falcons and bengals game. so, how do we get ron's as out of carolina???? you know the answer

Win out:

- This coaching staff is retained for 2015

- We most likely get blown the fug out in our first playoff game (don't kid yourselves, we are a horrible football team)

- We get a worse draft pick

- We get bragging rights for back to back division champs (is it really bragging rights?)

 

Lose out:

- Top 10 draft pick (possibly get our future LT or trade down and get even more picks)

- This limpd*ck coaching staff gets fired

 

 

Losing out seems like the best for the future.

Well, if you're going to bitch about never having back to back winning seasons, you can't also want your team to lose.

One of the biggest problems with this franchise has been within the culture, the losing mentality has been here for too long.

Sometimes you have to sacrifice the battle to win the war. It's not like we're sitting here rooting for the Panthers lose. But by winning meaningless games, we actually lose in the grand scheme of things. There is nothing this team has done this season that gives me confidence that they're going to make a run. Nothing. We'll win just enough games to miss the playoffs, Ron keeps his job, and cost us a top 10 pick.

I just don't want Rivera here anymore...I honestly never did like him. I don't like him or Shula, never did. He's had 4 years. He's done. Winning out and a one and done with him just give JR a reason to drag out Rivera's time here although knowing JR, he'll do that anyways.

Most of the top contenders now got that way by losing year after year and drafting top talent

Yeah that losing to draft early every year thing is working out really well for the raiders, bills, jaguars, rams, redskins, and bucs. Meanwhile the patriots, ravens, colts, seahawks, etc seem to be able to get consistent results without drafting in the top 10 every year. The only team i can think of that fits that description is the niners, who had something like 9 consecutive non playoff seasons. I dont think we need to lose for that long to be "good".

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
