This is for those who have not already figured this out.  If you have, no need to post, "I have already figured this out; no need for a thread."  We understand that and applaud your cerebral tenacity, but people may want to discuss these games.

All of this is based on the Panthers finishing the year at 5-11.  The unpredictable NFC East offers the most opportunity.

1. If the Giants defeat Dallas, the Panthers move up.  The game is in NY, and although the fans may not be a factor, the weather might.  Dallas is favored by 3.

2. If the Eagles beat WFT, the Panthers move up.  The WFT is playing their 4th QB and must win to make the playoffs.  The Eagles are eliminated but playing at home.  Jalen has them playing better.  The Eagles are 1.5 point underdogs.

3.  The Falcons, known for their uncanny ability to snatch a loss from the jaws of victory, will play at Tampa Bay.  The Bucs are favored by 7, but they should win easily.  However, if they look past Atlanta.....

4. Perhaps the third most likely opportunity for the Panthers to move up a spot will be the Detroit vs. Minnesota game.  The Vikings are favored by a TD, but they have lost 3 straight.  The Lions--the worst team in the history of the NFL---also have a 3-game losing streak and have been playing as if they are OK with that.  The Lions are at home and lost to Minnesota earlier this year. 

So if the Panthers got lucky in all 4 of those games, they could pick as low as 5th.  But I see maybe 1 or at the most 2 games that could feature an upset:  The Eagles and the Giants.  Maybe the Lions--maybe.

If we think Wilson is a franchise QB and we pick at 7, we are going to have to make an uncomfortable trade. On one had it takes away valuable picks, but if he really is an Aaron Rogers clone, I'm good with that. We simply have to scout and draft well. No more quick fixes, do it right from the ground up. And, yes, I believe Wilson is all that and worth the trade up.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I meant write off in the entire class being absolute garbage and that being on Dan  FA was pretty solid but Dan and Brandt handing out one big terrible contract to Turk Wharton. Milton was their top target and the pivot from Milton to Turk while paying Turk what they did was insane.  Id LOVE to know had we not paid Turk what type of contract he would’ve received. 3/30 mayyyybe? This is someone Brandt obviously vouched for.  I’ve watched a few of Tilis’ interviews now. One with Jourdan and one with Yates. He’s a big Moneyball fan. Giving Turk the deal they gave him is the complete opposite of the whole Moneyball idea. They paid a dude who they saw some potential in money that you’d pay someone that has actually made an impact  The worst part is that he’s 100% here next year too. That contract keeps him here until 2027 for sure

      Are you kidding? They just now figured out they could use someone else for a qb sneak.

      The biggest problem is that his upward trend is still well below NFL average. At some point there's just too much evidence to ignore. I've been there for awhile now. Honestly, it only took a handful of games for me to realize that he just had too many physical limitations to overcome to ever be a legitimate starter. I get that the organization couldn't afford to pull the plug that quick after that investment but there's absolutely no way we should've gone into year three without legitimate competition on the roster. We always a year behind kn this Bryce thing. This year should've been the legit competition year and this offseason should've been the moving on point. Hopefully we'll play catch up but I expect the trend to cj tinge and next year will be the vet competition year.
