Matt Miller: many sources around league believe Panthers will attempt to "tank" for Trevor Lawrence

Why would the Panthers let it be known they're tanking? Why would even be a talked about strategy? If they're tanking it's just going to be acquiring assets. Trying to actively "tank", lose games, isn't something that really happens in the NFL, and when you do you often find yourself playing your way out of the pick as it's always a case of any given Sunday.

I'll believe it when Christian Mccaffrey is traded. Trai Turner being traded straight up for Okung isn't anything other than a smart gamble in my opinion.

If this is the goal then you acquire as many TRADEABLE assets as possible in the event that you don’t lose enough games (ala Miami). So...Hurney has already failed in not getting any tradeable assets for one of our only pro bowlers. Therefore...it’s almost a 100% chance we are trying to tank for Trevor.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season.

      Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively.

      Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
