I know some of you look down on this, but I'd rather have a great draft pick than reel off 4-5 meaningless wins at the end of the year, as is common under this regime. 

With you 100%. Top 5 pick would be fantastic. Not to mention 99s contract is getting cheaper weekly.

We'll be in competition with the Browns for the #1 overall and 7-9 means nothing this year with the Cons being good. SO yea winning means poo atm quite frankly. And maybe losing badly will cause change so if that helps get rid of some fat I'm gtg with that.

Totally disagree. All we are promised is today, so I want to see my team win as many games as they can. Winning those 5 "meaningless games" will be 5 joyful Sundays where I'll not be in a bad mood for the next week. I'll take them! I love to win.
Also, I don't trust Gettleman to capitalize on a top draft pick.

It's always too early. Unless you need a QB there is no evidence to support that tanking helps anything.

That being said i've lost all hopes of us doing anything this season. Our deficiencies on defense are simply too big to overcome. Gettleman should face heavy questioning for this historic dismantling of a 15-1 team.

Atlanta lost so if we had a chance coming into today then we still have the same chance. Wouldn't mail it in yet


Im frustrated just like everyone else but it's nut over yet. Yes the secondary is plain out horrendous but things can change. I didn't think we win the division but I am still hoping for a wildcard

Yes. I will never root to lose. I don't want a team playing to lose for draft position. Plus, we have competitive Cam. Cam will never play to lose a game. They'd have to put him on IR and let DA handle it. 

this, plus other players who might be interested in joining the Panthers don't want to play for a team that purposefully tanks. You play to win for yourselves, you play to win for the fans, you play to win for pride, you play to win for next year's contract, you play to win because That's Your Job.

Do you have any admiration or respect for the players on the team?

You realize that THEY don't want to lose, right?

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
