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

    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
    • Then please take a vacation from the team.
    • In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
