At what point will you start rooting for us to 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’ll never actively root for a loss. I physically  can’t watching the game. Even if I wanted them to lose it would just devolve into me rooting for a win. Having said that, I didn’t have high expectations for this team coming in. For that reason losses aren’t as hard on me as other years. Knowing the potential prize of TL, Fields, or Lance awaits makes it even less difficult to swallow a loss. Basically approaching it how I felt after several weeks in the Jimmy Clausen season.

Scenario -- Panthers and Redskins are both 1-13 going into our week 16 matchup. Next worst team has 3 wins already and can't pick 1st overall. That game is literally -- loser gets Lawrence, winner gets 2nd overall or even worse. Would you really root for a win in that situation? I'm just not sure I could root for such a meaningless win then when it could mean that we miss out on a generational talent at the most important position...

This is why I was so against the Bridgewater signing. He is a good backup QB who can win a few games. However, I think his arm talent limitations mean that a Super Bowl is likely never in his future as a starting QB. I think the Panthers are a team with very limited talent and the worse they are this year, the greater their chances to be in a position to draft a potential franchise QB.

Unfortunately, I think Bridgewater is good enough to mean the Panthers win some games they would otherwise lose, which means worse draft picks next year. Sometimes in the NFL you win by losing. I would rather have a 2 win team that a 5 or 6 win team. Time will tell.

Problem is the Saints in week 17. If we are tied with anyone for 1st week 17, the Saints will make sure we win. 

Edit nvm I see what your saying

      Trevor Lawrence available next year?

      This guy pre-draft was saying he could take or leave football, and he seems to have been playing with that mentality ever since lol.

      Time to Start Roughing Out the '26 Draft--Needs and Pecking Order

      By BritishPanther · Posted

      Agreed, another safety would be nice. Bud Clark, TCU, is one I would like to see us take a flyer on later in the draft, if he stays healthy and we don't take someone earlier. I just really hope we draft a solid C this year. Tired of seeing us cycle through average to below average players in that area.

      Downfield Disparity

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Bryce doesn't like throwing into the middle of the field unless the play broke down or it's set up to give him a passing lane.  So because of this issue, most of the passing offense has to be outside the numbers towards the boundary. So you see him throw a lot of dump offs, swing routes, short side out routes, comebacks or deep balls outside the numbers using the boundary as protection of an interception.    Pretty easy for a NFL defense to see this and scheme against it.  All you have to do is run a shell cover 2 deep dime, LB plays a hook underneath, take the flat away with a blitz/flat zone option for the two inside DB's, outside two DB's play hook zone underneath and carry anything deep.    Pretty much what NO ran to take away Rico while also limiting What Bryce can do as well.
