At what point will you start rooting for us to lose for Lawrence?

For me as long as we are mathematically alive in the playoff race I will root for Panthers wins.

But I think as soon as we hit that point of no return that the best thing for this franchise would be to get a generational talent in Trevor "Sunshine" Lawrence, and I may actually actively root for us to get the 1st overall pick. I did that later in the year in 2010 for Cam, but no other season, even in recent years with Rivera when we were mathematically eliminated later in the year. I think this will be another 2010 for me though, unless we see some wins in the next month or so (seems unlikely with this D and sloppy O). So at what point will you mainly be thinking of the draft? 0-5? 1-7? Or are you already actively rooting for us to lose for 1st overall?

Tank for Trevor.

Suck for Sunshine.

Lose for Lawrence.

I don't. If it happens it happens. And if it does, it has no guarantee the Panthers will win a Superbowl. What last #1 overall pick won a superbowl with the team that drafted him? 

 

A better outcome from losing would be Hurney getting fired. That may have more of an impact on long term success.

I think 99% of people here will agree with that. The two are not mutually exclusive.

 

I gotta ask though... if we are 1-13 going into week 16 vs. Washington and they are 1-13 as well and no other team could possibly get Lawrence (next worst team has 3 wins at that point) would you really still be rooting for us to win that game? I would 100% root for his to lose and to get Lawrence in that situation.

      Do they practice down field throws at practice?

      I still think a Dalton thumb injury screwed us 2 seasons in a row.  It allowed the Bryce Young comeback after whoever finally gave a greenlight on being done w/ him 2 weeks into the season.  and I think we saw a soft benching this year and they wanted to see Andy run it with this crew.  But Andy hurting his thumb killed us from seeing whatever he has at full go in a game.  Bryce Young was never hurt those 2 games to the degree which called him to miss a game IMO.  You don't see QBs sit for such minor things....unless you just want to use it to explore and see.

      Dave Canales Panthers are 3-6 following a win

      I was quite critical of Ron Rivera's game day coaching decisions and management over his years here. Especially when he coached super conservative playing not to lose. But at the end of the day he never had to try and win with a Bryce Young. John Fox had to try and win with a Bryce Young and he completely checked out and got himself fired. The only. Only solution right now. Is to remove the anchor around our necks from the equation and move forward however we can and assess all the moving parts with the time we have left so we can move forward accordingly in the offseason. Not doing so is only going to further delay evaluating what we have in this young roster and this staff led by Canales.

      XL is a bust

      Sometimes GMs try outsmart everyone by picking a player they think has the physical tools and can be coached up but Legette is an example what happens when that doesn't work out. Teams that are already contenders with a full roster can take those chances. The Eagles, for example, could have rolled the dice on a guy like Legette. But the Panthers needed, and still need, to draft guys who are ready to play now in the first round. Legette wasn't that guy and there were much better options available.
