Should Carolina Rest Starters Against the Falcunts?

Carolina would be playing to try to obtain the 2nd seed.  In order for that to happen, they would have to beat the falcons, Saints lose, Vikings lose.  Not sure about the Rams.  Carolina should remain the 5th seed regardless if they lose.  Staying the 5th seed gives them a path of the Saints, Eagles, Rams/Vikings.  Thats the best case scenerio imo.

different scenerio, if the Falcons game is flexed to 4pm and the Saints win their game.  Rest starters then?

Then that makes sense. But again, RR's call because the players/coaches may want to sort some things out from the awful performance today. I still imagine either way we see some vanilla play calling next week. Will come down to execution.

If we're not flexed, you play for the win 100%, if we're playing at night and know what happened in the saints game, it changes things depending on the saints game.  Saints win, rest big time vets (cam, luke, TD, Pep, R Kalil, Olsen, Stewart).  If saints lose, balls to the wall break the falcons spirit.  FWIW, I think the odds of the saints losing to the bucs is in the 10-15% range.

    • I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes I to account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as a treading water year. I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. 
    • What happened to King? Was he a no show?
    • think these smaller Qb's are going to have a much harder time convincing an NFL team to draft them. not saying a smaller Qb under 6 feet tall will not make an NFL roster .it will most likely be a UDFA contract more or less prove it deal.NFL teams have been burnt time & time again investing in these small NFL Qbs & i think  teams are now finally starting to realize that investing in these smaller Qb's under 6 feet tall is simply a bad idea  ...just saying
