  • Dallas has 3 winnable games left (SF, Philly, Giants)
  • Atlanta likely will not win a game the rest of the season ( Tampa x 2 and KC)
  • Houston is likely to win 1 more game this season (Indy, Cincinnati, Tennessee)
  • Philadelphia, fresh off a victory over N'Olins, could win any of their remaining games or lose them all (Arizona, Dallas,  Washington)

So if you consider the remaining teams with 4 wins (all jockeying for the fourth pick), Atlanta seems to be the biggest threat to the Panthers.  Tank fans need 2 things to happen--Washington needs to play well and New Orleans needs a reason to play week 17.

I honestly don’t believe we need to stay at 5 to get our QB. If we get any of the top 4 I’ll be happy, and one of them will be available in the top 10 picks 

You could be right---the top five picks could be 4 QBs and Sewell (likely a Bengal)

Jets-Lawrence

Jax-Fields

Bengals-Sewell

After that, teams will be trading up to get that QB.

Maybe I am over-analyzing Jones and maybe he is simply blessed with a stud OL and a stable full of thoroughbred WRs, but If we could somehow get Sewell (Let's say a team trades up to get a QB and Cincy moves back) and take Jones in Round 2, I think we'd say we had a successful draft in 3 or 4 years.  I think I would rather have a combination of Sewell/Jones than Lance/Walker Little, for example.  I am higher on Jones than most because his accuracy and timing have been excellent.  I think if we take Jones, we better build the best OL in the NFL--he will need a pocket.

Understand that I want a first round QB too---but not a Rosen or a Darnold.  I would hate to take a bust knowing the best OT since Joe Thomas was on the board....I think a LT is that important.

How come we are ahead of Falcons?

Does the SOS change over the season?
And if so, how will our and Falcons SOS change with these last few games left.
Do we need Washington to lose some games? and that Tampa win against Detroit?

Ideally the other 4 wins teams all get another win so you don't have to worry about sos and tiebreakers

Not a fan of this guy. All that damn talent around him makes me skeptical.

I agree. I'm afraid of letting Belichick have Jones. I think he's underrated by many. Kid's gonna be a very good NFL QB imo.

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.

      By bandu · Posted

      well i could go on & on but i will just highlight it by saying big difference trust me from the SEC & NFL.it's honestly like comparing apples & oranges especially when you are talking about a  LT. in the NFL you are going up against the most athletic freaks of nature the world has to offer . .the NFL also has much more exotic & complicated defensive schemes than what they are used to seeing at Georgis &  finally but most importantly you have to learn how to master complex bio mechanics where the body kick steps instantly as a reaction to these world class athletes rush without really making a conscious effort it's more of a learned muscle memory  & it can take thousands upon thousands of reps to master rproper technique for a LT in the NFL especially if you are still very raw like Monroe Freeling is    ...just saying

      All that being the case or maybe being the case, we do not know Wharton’s timetable n the first place. They are being coy about it. Or maybe not. They say week to week the board says he is terminal lol and must be replaced. Who knows? It may or may not warrant a fairly drastic solution.  Walker is a bargain and we are not well stocked at OL despite recent investments. Freeling has yet to have a single padded practice. Too much speculation driving this plan IMO.

      I would really love to know who’s actually making these moves because it’s weirdly vague who’s doing the hiring and firing.
