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

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
