For the Tank for Trevor/Justin/Lance Crowd

A dose of reality.  We are better than a bunch of teams.  Teams that we KNOW will be shopping for a QB:  Washington "so-called" Football team (today proved it), NYJests, Jaxoffville Jags, Indy Clots--all potentially worse than the Panthers.  The Panthers have a QB--his numbers have not been bad--he is just boring--but look at his stats---and the Panthers have 2 more years of him after this one---They are going to keep building around the QB spot.

Devil's Advocate

I am thinking that the New York teams will pick 1 and 2.  I do not see them winning 5 games combined.  I think Miami, Houston, Cincinnati, Jacksonville, Philly, Houston, Minnesota, Washington, and Detroit are questionably worse than we are.   Trevor is out of the question—so is Fields.

Here is how I see the draft (understand that there are 13 weeks to go):

1.      NY Jets (1-15):  Lawrence, QB Clemson.  If they go 2-14, Lawrence is the pick.

2.      NY Giants (3-13) Sewell, LT Oregon.  After Gettlemen is fired, the new guy may deviate from Jones—but I think they protect him better.  (This pick will get a ton of offers from Washington, Indianapolis, Carolina, maybe Minnesota)

3.      Jacksonville (4-12): Fields, QB Ohio State.  The mustache is not the answer. 

4.      Miami from Houston (4-12):  Chase, WR LSU.  The best WR in the NCAA to go with Tua.

5.      Miami (4-12):  Parsons, LB, Penn State.  LB is a need, and Parsons is the cream of the crop.  If this is the case, Washington will be trying to trade up.

6.      Cincinnati (4-11-1):  Bateman, WR, Minnesota.  Burrows needs some targets.

7.      Washington (5-11): Lance, QB, North Dakota State.  Rivera needs a QB to cover his arse.

8.      Denver (5-11): Surtain II, CB, Alabama.  They need a T, but they also need a CB, and this is the top-rated CB.

9.      Philadelphia (5-10-1): Moses, ILB, Alabama.  Philly needs a LB or two.

10.   Detroit (6-10): Moore, WR, Purdue.  Another Moore at WR for the Lions.  Big need.

11.   Minnesota (6-10): Smith, WR, Alabama.  WR is a big need in Minnesota, so is S and IOL.

12.   Carolina (6-10):  Rousseau, DE, Miami. OR Farley, CB Virginia Tech.  Yes, we need a QB and OL help, but there is no value on my board (Sept 27, 2020).  If YGM develops and Burns and Weatherly continue to play well, I think I would take Farley, the best CB in the draft, IMO. 

NOTE: This draft is pretty deep at WR and OL---so grab the stud DE or the best CB in the draft.

Counter point: You somehow have us winning six games. We are not going to win even 5. 

If we continue our current pace, we win 6 games.  With the improved D, I see 5-6.  And then there is this--you nor I know, do we?  Devil's advocate--worse-case scenario.

I do not see 5 wins left...

Falcons we’ll split - 1 win

Lions - 1 win

We’ll split another between Broncos and Vikes - 1 win

 

Thats being generous because I think realistically the Falcons will sweep The Panthers and it’s very possible they lose the Vikes and Broncos games.

Puts them at 2-14 or 3-13....4-12 at very best.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
