Oakland was a maybe game for Carolina. Given they’re here week 1 I think Carolina starts 1-0

Haven't you heard? The Panthers are a dumpster fire. They've already lost all 16 games and we are planning to burn down the stadium after the season is over.

Why would anyone want to burn down the stadium if we just secured the 1st overall pick?

I’ll be celebrating and using all the bottles of champagne we didn’t end up using in San Fran

The Raiders weren't great last year but they were decent. I definitely wouldn't chalk this up as an easy win.

Raiders get saints week 2. So to get Carolina week 1 is kind of a must win or they’re most likely looking at that dreaded 0-2 start

This was one of my maybe wins on the schedule.  One of a select few as most were definite losses.

Gonna be a weird season for me as a fan. Will have Lawrence in the back of my mind the entire year unless/until we win enough games that the first overall pick is out of our reach. Would rather we not go into the last few games eliminated from the playoffs and needing to lose for the first overall pick, because I know we’d win some of those meaningless games to drop to like the 5-10th pick. I’ll be rooting for the wins to come early of course starting with that Raiders game but I don’t have super high hopes for the playoffs this year so preparing myself mentally for like 4 wins and no Lawrence and possibly no Fields either.

    • Comparing a random stat to another rookie QB has nothing to do with the current subject.  Tom Brady had a 6.0 YPA his rookie year.  I hope you're not using one stat to define success of a QB? It's not a problem to want him to do better based on where he was drafted although I still contend it doesn't matter after the fact.  It doesn't matter if we're talking about Cam Newton, Tom Brady, Russel Wilson or any other QB.  It makes little difference once you're in the NFL.  Nobody gets a ring for where they were drafted.   Higher draft picks will get a little more time in most cases as teams want to make sure they've exhausted all avenues before they admit a draft pick can't play.  Other teams might pick them up thinking it wasn't the player but the organization and/or other coaches that caused the player not to succeed.  It's people's expectations that are wrong.  If we could go back and redo all the draft and put guys in the correct draft spot based on how well they played in the NFL, that would be nice.  Then your argument would make some sense.  People assume that where a player was drafted is a statement on how good that player is when the reality is there is a lot more luck than skill in drafting. If Coker turns into a pro bowl receiver and XL becomes a bust nobody cares except fans and the media. What we really should say is it's not too much to expect a player who has started at QB for a team over the last 2 years to be better than he currently shows.   Don't compare 1st round picks.  Compare starting QB's in the NFL.
    • They’re gonna have to go up against a real offense before any kind of judgement can be made of them.  Tlaw looks like damaged goods, Kyler is completely washed, and Penix….well…. they look better compared to last season but that’s what you’d expect with a healthy brown and horn.  I haven’t seen anything that indicates they’ll be considered an overall good defense when the dust has settled. 2002 it is not.
