honestly I would not be upset if we tanked the rest of the season and tried to wind up in the lottery. This team desperately needs a superstar. 


Although that makes sense I don't know how a team this talented can tank. They won't purposefully lose. We will continue to finish the season with extremely disappointing and lazy losses while sprinkling in great wins against decent (not great) teams. Our roster is built for mediocrity this year.

agreed and that's kind of the problem- we've doomed ourself. 

Fans in Charlotte would hate it but damn I wish we had Sam Hinkie.

At this point the only way we could tank would be completely blowing up the team. I'm talking apocalypse style renovation of the roster. Kemba, Batum, Zeller, MKG, basically anybody with a contract that goes past this year needs to be shipped off for picks/young talent. And as much as we currently suck I don't think that is a feasible solution. Maybe if we could just ship off Batum for a talented young player (Okafor from the 76ers maybe?). We would still suck but we would have more cap room to reboot this offseason and a young piece to pair with Kemba.

Yeah because being in the lottery has helped us in the past. It doesn't matter where we pick when we have a gm that doesn't even know anything about the sport of hoop ball

middle of the road getting blown out in round 1 is not fun

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
