I keep hearing this argument that it would allow a team that did well but missed out on a wildcard could get in...so let's look at these great teams who have missed out in recent years:

 

Pittsburgh 8-8, Arizona 10-6, Pittsburgh 8-8, Titans 9-7, Bears 8-8, Bears 10-6, 9-7 Chargers, 10-6 Giants.  

 

Is this really worth having a team or both 7th seeds every year float right around .500?  Awarding the best of the mediocre is just silly IMO.  It's way more rare that a division winner ends up around .500 and the total system is totally worth that happening once in every blue moon.  

 

Did anyone really want to see Mark Sanchez or Case Keenum starting a playoff game?  I really hope this isn't voted in but whatevs if it is.

The one thing that I like about it is that it eliminates half of the byes.  I do not like byes personally when the schedule is so imbalanced.  Teams in weaker divisions already have a huge advantage in their schedule, I do not like them then getting rewarded with a free win.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
