I have a question for all of you *ahem* fans that are still pissed today that we won

If you were Ron Rivera or a player on the team, what would you have done differently to lose on purpose than what actually happened? I'm legitimately curious. Because we started a 3rd string QB and finished with a 4th stringer, had David Mayo lead the defense, had CAP and Travaris Cadet (who I legitimately didn't know was on this team) run the ball 27 times, had Colin Jones match up on Michael Thomas more than once, and we STILL easily won. That despite the fact that the Saints had Teddy Bridgewater (an obvious NFL starter talent) and Michael Thomas playing the entire game. 

So...would you have told Kyle Allen to intentionally throw interceptions? Would you have intentionally fallen over your own feet if you were CAP? Please explain this to me. We had a super vanilla gameplan and ran the ball more than we threw (first time in months I think where that's happened).

Suit up the cheerleaders and the field maintenance crew if need be.....that game was a poke in the eye from Payton.

They had starters out there for longer than we did and had an NFL starting QB and their best receiver out there the *entire* game. A lot of you people have this defeatist mentality that if we were to ever beat the Saints, they MUST have let us. Very sad stuff. Show pride in your organization.

There are some real morons on this board; some fans actually think Payton threw the game just so the panthers would pick 4 spots lower in the draft.  As if that calculus entered the mind of an opposing HC for even one second. 

Especially since it wrecked any momentum the Saints had. Getting blown out in your own house is NEVER good, teams like the Colts and Steelers and Packers have had big home losses to close out regular seasons and then proceeded to choke early in the playoffs.

We had a lot of starters on the field for a good amount of the day yesterday.  I would have rested those starters after the 1st series.  Called it 'evaluating the depth' of the team.

I would have ensured the play calling 'matched the kinds of looks that we wanted to get out of those younger players'.

I would have not game planned at all.

Basically, it would have been a 4th preseason game kind of day.

Its not even about all that, or winning, or losing a draft pick. 

People ( whether they are "ahem" real fans...or "ahem" fake fans) use the last game to vent and say goodbye. As I said before...we as a fanbase gave up weeks ago. Yesterday meant nothing really.

Now we are all waiting to hear if Julio is right and RR gets fired this morning. THAT is what ppl are here for.

      Everyone Says BPA. Panthers Won’t.

      I mean I'd like to add a monster TE as much as anyone else but ultimately what use will that serve with a QB who had 54 passing yards in 4 quarters at one point last season? Defense defense defense.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.

      I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
