  • 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.

      Tepper is still pulling the strings

      By CRA · Posted

      There is quote from Canales somewhere when we hired him.  He was blunt he isn't some creative mind.  He was going to come in here and do X......and that was going to be closer to Foxball than anything we have seen.   And that largely has held true.   It's why he REALLY needs that Jake Delhomme type.  Baker was that.  The downfield gunslinger.   Big plays exist in his O.   You need a gambling QB to go make them downfield.  Bryce pulled the trigger once this week.  But he is just bad at it.  It was that Tmac deep ball that ended up being a PI.  Tmac had his dude beat.  That was the homerun ball this O sets up.   But Bryce underthrew it.  Tmac had to slam on the breaks and come to a full stop and wait for it.    Those just aren't Bryce's throws.    Sure we got the PI.  Some might celebrate that aspect.  But that throw highlights Bryce doesn't make those throws well.  Your WR shouldn't have to come to a complete stop and wait....when he has the guy clearly beat for the over the top play.  That's what the entire thing sets up.  Bryce rarely takes the shot.  When he does, it's generally not a great ball.
