Playoff - Draft seeding: Question


Cam's New Arm

Recommended Posts

Say we win JUST enough games to win our division..

Would that automatically place our draft position in the 20's? Or would our draft position still follow our Win / Loss record?

 

Pardon my ignorance on the matter. 

 

Basically my question is.. If we finish at say.. 6 wins.. do we draft before or after the teams who finished with a higher amount of wins but still missed the playoffs? (Baltimore, for example is last in their division with already more wins than we could possibly amass)

If the answer is as simple as this, than that is fine. 

 

Yea, it's as simple as that.  Non playoff teams draft 1-20.  Loser of wildcard round with the worst record picks 21st, and so on.  If we back into the playoffs at 5-10-1 and win the Super Bowl, we pick #32.  Lose SB, 31.

The phrase backing into the playoffs would have to be redefined if we get in with that record.

Imagine the conflicting conversations we have to have with our kids?

Dad are you crying tears of joy or pain? I don't know. I just don't know.

We'd have to call it "dragged into the playoffs kicking and screaming.."

depends on how you do in the playoffs. A loss in WC would mean the 21st pick. Lose in divisionals then the 25th. Loss in the CCG would be 29th, a SB loss would be 31st, win 32nd.

If we get to the playoffs as the 6th seed and lose the first round (assuming nobody else gets into the playoffs with a worse record than us,) we will pick 21st. All playoff teams, regardless of record, draft later than non-playoff teams...

 

The draw back of winning the division with a not so good win/loss.

    • The word I feel most comfortable using as a descriptor is "inconsistent". Haven't really seen anyone disagree with that. Consistency being one of the things I value most in a player, that makes me lean toward moving on. But he does still have both time and opportunity to prove otherwise. Mind you, having a streaky quarterback isn't exactly a new thing in Charlotte (you could argue it's been the norm). Delhomme was notorious for starting slow but finishing strong. He could sadly also find hos way into ruts that were difficult to crawl out of. Newton, on the other hand, was often known to start hot but fade late (the vast majority of the 2015 season followed that pattern) though it could be argued that was a team pattern as much as it was Cam's.  There are definitely some fans for whom this is always going to be a bridge too far. (or too short) Realistically, it's not impossible that he could still have a good career even with those issues. It's a damn sight more difficult, though. And arguably, less likely.
    • Oh, I did, and they weren't based in emotions either. Granted, characterizing them that way gives you an easy out to avoid responding to them. Similar tactic to dismissing the other guy's points with "nah, you didn't really watch the games" which saves you having to debate what he said. Strikes me as a kinda lazy way to go, but hey both elements are still back there if you feel up to trying later.
    • I see the issue, I am not counting his rookie season where he didn't actually play minus a few snaps of garbage time. So by your math that would be his 4th year.
