Are you pulling for the Panthers or Saints if...

In the event that the Bears are able to upset Green Bay and the Seahawks take care of the 49ers, how would you feel about a Panthers win? Cause the scenario then becomes:

1. Saints win, clinch a 1st round bye, homefield advantage throughout and have Kamara likely available for their 1st playoff game where they're poised to trounce on the winner of the Bucs-NFC East champ at home for an easy path to the NFC championship. Panthers lose and probably end up around pick 7 or 8. 

2. Panthers win, drop the Saints to a 3 seed where they have to play in the wildcard without Kamara and even if they win, their path to the Super Bowl likely goes through Greenbay and Seattle on the road. Panthers drop to around pick 12 or 13.

Obviously Saints could go out early or win the super bowl in either scenario but the odds shift dramatically. It boils down to what do you value more, trouncing on the super bowl hopes of those smug Saints bastards as a final exclamation point in the 2020 season, or gaining a few spots in the draft order and look ahead to 2021 and beyond? Can see the argument in both sides.

If the Saints would have gotten the 1 seed, I’d have no problem winning. I’m fairly certain that GB and Seattle will win. I don’t really want to win but seeing as how we already royally fuged up our #3 pick potential, I wouldn’t mind fuging up the Saints playoff hopes if we did win.

If the 3rd pick was in play still, there’s likely no scenario where I’d want to win.

Panthers win is a no brainer here. fug the Aints. We can get a QB without a top 5-10 pick.

If Lance goes top 10 that means we’d be looking at Trask or Jones or a much lesser QB. Unless you’re waiting for next season.

I could give two (&@#s what this game means to the Saints.  They are irrelevant to me.

Wins need to mean something.  What does this potential win mean to us?  Near as I can tell, it means nothing.  In fact, forget about the draft for just a minute, pretend we're picking 15th regardless of the outcome.

Do you really, REALLY want to see TB5 beat the Saints in the 'dome and instill some sort of farcical idea into a brain somewhere that "Maybe he is the answer".  NO.  HELL NO.  TB5 is not the answer, and I don't want there to be any doubts about that at all.

Do you really want our front office to look at our line and go "You know what?  We did fine against the Saints at the end of the season after everything gelled."  NO.  FFS NO.

This game if it turns into a win could serve to obfuscate problems we've spent an entire season exposing.  I don't want another season like this.  Yea, the season has shown promise, and we've been far better than expected.  That said, I want to see us CONTINUE to show progress next season.  I don't want some meaningless game at the end of the season to make people think twice about what they've seen already.

My first thought was a weird swedish analogy..  

It would be like peeing in your pants*. Sure, it feels warm and nice at first. But in the end it will be cold and you will stink.

 

The Saint get a harder path, thanks to the Panthers, sure great. But they could still end up winning.

And the Panthers get to pick later in all seven rounds. In theory making it harder to select good prospects and the team will continue to stink. 

 

*I have not tried it

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
