I don't know if there are still people hoping for us to make the playoffs. Doubt anyone at all is expecting it.

(FYI if you are, you'll need to cheer real hard for the lowly Lions to beat the resurgent Vikings this weekend; Vikes win and we're officially out)

But let's say the craziness happens...

Cam Newton is not being placed on IR, which would mean he'd be available.

Would you send Newton out on the field for a playoff game?

No

1. If we are in the playoffs, that means Heinkie has won us 2 straight.

2. This seasons and a 6 seed playoff spot isnt worth throwing Cam out at Chicago only for Mack to nail Cams coffin.  

 

Sit him, let him heal

Side questions going back to the OP:

Who on here believes we can still make the playoffs?

Regardless of outcome, who wants to see us make the playoffs?

I don't believe we can still make the playoffs... but I do absolutely want to make the playoffs.  I think the draft seed difference is going to end up being negligible.

If we win the next two because of Heinicke to any degree I’d keep riding him. If he’s truly terrible but we win despite him because of McC or defense, then I’d consider Cam. Cam’s not gonna heal enough in 2 weeks to be better than a QB with a healthy arm but his playoff experience comes into play if we actually want to try to win it all if we somehow got in. But if we get in and think no chance we win it all then regardless of how Heinicke looks you keep Cam on the sideline.

I still want to see us make the playoffs. I’m not one to wish we lose for the sake of a draft pick. I’m behind Taylor and hopes he shows out. In two weeks, this could be the end of a lot of my favs career and I want to see them as long as possible plus we would have to wait another 9 months to see us in action again. I don’t want to wish time away

No, no, no.

This isn't a Foles type situation. One and done in the playoffs means NOTHING for this team except a lower draft pick.

I'd find more happiness getting top 10 picks and beating teams with the players we get from that for years to come than winning two more games this year. 

All this said, I don't think there is any chance.

      Run Threat Rate -- is this good?

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      From Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/nutshellsportz.bsky.social/post/3mo3rkrcezs2e  A look at Run Threat Rate across the NFL Run Threat Rate is the percentage of plays where a team either runs the ball or uses play action. This compares each team’s rate when leading or tied versus when trailing to show how much they abandon the run when playing from behind.

      That's the current dilemma on both parties at the moment. If Ickey comes back too soon, he won't be 100% and his play will suffer. Leading to a potential decrease in his contract. If Ickey is unable to play and sits the entire 2026 season, his contract will still take the same hit since it tells all 32 team that he is not fully recovered. On the Panthers side, I'm sure they would want to keep Ickey if he is fully recovered but he is obviously in a contract year. They don't want to re-sign him to a massive deal since it be too risky and they know if Ickey is able to return to form.  Best case scenario, the Panthers wants to offer Ickey a 1-2 year heavily incentive based prove it deal. However, Ickey would most likely decline the offer and test the market as  another team can come in and offer Ickey a better deal if they are desperate enough for O-line help.

      They have been giving him a lot of snaps at RT to give TMo some relief in camp. I think that will continue for the time being.
