If the Panthers trade up in the first round of the draft....

If the Panthers end up trading up in the first round of the draft, then what the hell was the point of trying to win in Week 17 against the Saints? They could have bumped up 6-7 draft spots by losing that game. I will be furious if they trade up and lose out of more picks after Ron decided to go balls to the wall against an obviously trying to lose Saints team.

I have been cautiously optimistic about Hurney 2.0 but this would solidify in my eyes that a zebra can't change its stripes.

I swear to God if I hear one more person mention us winning week 17 against the Saints I'm going to explode. Leave last season in last season. I'll never complain about winning. Especially against that trash organization. First round is loaded with talent. I don't care what we do. Just come away with an impact difference maker and call it a night

What's funny is no one blames us for a worthless stat padding win claiming we should try to win them all, yet place no blame on a Saint team who rolled over and played dead. That glorious win moved us from 9 to 16 and it cant be mentioned enough.

Counter argument:

The Rams won their second to last game of the season in 2010 removing them from contention for a top 10 pick.

JJ Watt was taken at #11. They took Robert Quinn instead.

Pretty sure they would trade that one win for JJ Watt.

Couldn't be said enough actually. And there is no leaving last season in last season when the draft is based on how you did last season so that was stupid.

Nothing could be more appropriate to talk about actually, especially if he trades up.

I hear ya from a fan perspective.

But from a team and organization standpoint bro you jut can’t ask a player to lay down and lose . 

Cmon man . 

Keep Pounding means nothing to some people on here. (Not meaning you) 

Counter argument to your counter argument. 

Losing mentality is a communicable disease. People say what they will about Rivera . (Much of it true) he won’t lay down though, I promise you that.

Still waiting for one of those jackoffs to tweet @ a player for winning and not getting the 9th pick in the first round

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
