Ok, let's talk Atlanta Falcons

We are one game up on Tampa and Atlanta.  Finishing 3rd or 4th gives an easier schedule for next year.  Also gives a better draft pick. That's all that matters

Our finish impacts a whopping two games. The rest of schedule was set before this season started. 

Beat the dirty birds. Worry about the draft in April/May/whenever it is.

Right now we would be 14th in the draft and Atlanta would be 10th.  If they beat us it would pretty much switch.  I'm not advocating for tanking/rooting for a loss considering things like the fact that Michael Thomas was drafted well after we took Vernon Butler, but you can also consider times like 2016 where the Bucs beating us in a meaningless game to end the season got them OJ Howard at like 19th and we got CMC at 8...so. Yeah.  DL depth is a big thing and help will be there in the first round.  With that said, sometimes when you're in that 10 range, players who should have been drafted far higher end up there just because teams panic about QBs and such.  I can be happy either way too cause I'm definitely gonna be in the same seat I've been since we've existed and I'm not going to sit there and root for us to lose to the Falcons.

Bittersweet game but I am leaning toward that draft pick.

We could feel good about beating the Falcons for a day or feel good about sweeping them for years to come with a nasty DE prospect or DT.

This draft is top heavy with Dlineman with a shallow QB class, and per usual teams will reach for QBs which mean a nice Dlineman is bound to fall.

If anything I hope we trade back into the first to take 2 defensive linemen. This draft is loaded with talent on the D line and I think it would be a good year to take advantage of it. With Daryl William's returning next year at OT, and Moton has done as good as anyone could hope as much as he has been switching around like musical chairs on the depth chart.

Seems most folks wanting to tank for a draft pick don't actually go the games. Otherwise I can't imagine wanting to go and watch dirty bird fans celebrate a win in our house. I want to be there along with 60,000 other Panther fans to tell Matty Lice to get the hell off our field....

not sure Julio has practiced yet this week. 

I mean, both teams frankly are at the point where they probably are evaluating who no longer needs to play through injuries. 

They’re gonna kick our asses up and down the field on Sunday. Won’t be very close. But at least they’ll play themselves out of a higher pick.

They've probably tuned out completely already.  Whats it even like to root for the Falcons for the sake of a few draft spots?  Do they cheer when matty lice throws a TD then thow up in their mouth and swallow it?  And then when the draft comes around and both teams get pretty comparable players.... ouch.  I'll just take the win now and feel good the day, thank you.

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
