Can we please start Kyle Allen this week so we have a shot at beating the saints!

I really could give two shits about draft positioning at this point. The best Christmas gift I could ask for is upsetting these fugers and guaranteeing them a wild card game and most likely road games in the divisional and NFCCG, if they make it that far. A panther win essentially solidifies a team other than the saints winning the Lombardi (no way they beat the pack, niners, or seahawks on the road) 

Kyle Allen put up a masterful performance in the superdome and almost beat these guys. I think everyone acknowledges Will Grier is fuging horrible and doesn't stand a chance. 

Fewell, this is your superbowl. Make the right moves and get it done!

Best scenario is we lose and the Saints still don’t get the 1 seed. How many draft slots would we move back if we won?

I believe all the way back to 12. I think there will be just a fair bit of dropoff in talent from potentially being 6-7 to 12.

Some fans think what will feel good on Sunday and that's it. Never mind wrecking our drat position, what will feel good for a few hours on Sunday, and then be completely forgotten about. OUR TEAM IS TERRIBLE. WE NEED HIGH DRAFT PICKS.

That doesn’t matter with Hurney drafting. We all know he values players way above their ranking to stroke his own ego.

Don't like Hunrey's picks? Fine. Think whatever you want. We need to draft higher for basic common sense reasons that don't need explaining. If you think it won't matter, then that's your wild guess. That's fine, but we're getting those higher draft picks.

Why the Flunk would we want to win this game? So you can feel good about yourself? Say you went out swinging? Go out on a high note? Slip down from 6-7 draft position to 12? How is that worth it? Saints already won the division, beating them gains nothing but a loss in talent potential for us. Saying draft position doesn't matter is crap as well so dont sell me on that.

He overvalued every player last draft. That means draft placement doesn’t really matter at all.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
