Totally bro. The Chiefs totally should have lost more games in 2017 to have picked Trubisky at 2 instead of Mahomes at 10. If only had they “tanked” and lost more games...

You realize the Chiefs were a 12 win team the year before and traded about half their 2017 picks and a 1st in 2018 to move up to 10 to get Mahomes.

As I’ve said before, the difference of a record of 4-11 or 5-10 doesn’t establish a “winning culture”.

The Jets started 1-7 in 2019 and finished 7-9. They followed up that “strong finish” to be 2-13 in 2020. Meaningless late season wins are exactly that, meaningless. Especially for a team like this, expected to undergo more heavy roster upheaval this offseason. 

Here are the facts. The Panthers would have had a top 3 draft pick had they lost to a very bad Washington football team yesterday. Washington made so many mistakes I was surprised they even made a game of it late. If Rivera had switched to Heinecke at halftime, or started him, Washington probably would have won. 

So I guess take all the positives you want to take from what was a pretty sorry win, but I’m not so cheery. The team obviously needs a new QB and they’ve now put other potentially QB hungry teams in front of them in the draft for the sake of good feelings I guess. We will see what happens.

Its like people dont understand. We got 3 turnovers yesterday, a special teams TD, and only scored 20 points against a crap team.

I think most people here understand. I also think most people here understand that whining about it over and over and over does absolutely no good and annoys the fug out of everyone. So there's that. Finally, I think this is an NFL message board and whining over and over and over poo is kinda what people do, so keep going young sportsman.

The Steelers only scored 17 against them 2 weeks ago and the Seahawks only scored 20 against them last week. 

Quit whining.

A top 3 draft pick would have been great. It makes it easier to get players our fan base covets. It didn’t happen. Tough poo. Players and coaches don’t tank. Building a winning culture is far more important than any draft pick. There is a reason why the same teams pick in the top 10 and the teams that have continued success win year after year despite picking later in the draft. Panthers will most certainty be in a position to draft a good player and perhaps a QB. Hell, a guy like Tepper is aggressive enough to be willing to trade assets if the brass think there is a QB worth trading for. In summation, stop crying over poo you can’t control and take a breath.

Look at all of the Super Bowls they won by doing so!

And look at how long him and Cam lasted behind dumpster fire OLs!

But let's go trade up and to make sure we get a rookie QB to play behind Greg Little (didn't we trade up for him too?), Dennis Daley, and Matt Paradis instead of taking one if they fall to us at #9.

I can get just wanting either, but the amount of folks acting like we are screwed without gambling draft picks is wild.

      Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
