Seattle and Carolina Records and Draft Orders: A comparison

@Mr. Scot and I were discussing the comparisons of records and draft orders in one of the Fitterer threads.  He found the Seahawks' record for the past ten years, and I filled it out with what draft position the Seahawks had (BEFORE they traded down) and Carolina's record/draft position.

This might bring some perspective to the Seahawks drafts and how well they have been putting their team together:

So we’ve been in contention maybe 2 years with grossly half of our picks being in the Marty’s our GM zone while the Seahawks have had continued success year in and year out despite not having any Marty’s our GM zone picks.

Fixed.

It's amazing what having a franchise quarterback will do for you.

Cam was a franchise QB. He took  a little longer to get going than Russ, but Prime Cam of '13 through '17 had us right there with Seattle picking in the 20s. Expect for 2016.

Or if you look at that you see that maybe a particular GM was really bad at assembling an entire roster. Franchise QBs are great, but it takes a team to win it all.

A better GM here might have helped sure. My main point is Seattle went from consistent 7-9 seasons to drafting the 20s once they got Russel Wilson.

      RBA Contract Extension Pulled

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Multiple sports media outlets reporting the contract extension for RBA might be off the table. https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2904953

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      Yea we easily win 6-7 games with Dalton but prefer the way it played out in getting the HC and GM fired

      By hepcat · Posted

      Hypothetical offseason question. If the Panthers sat Bryce in 2023 and played Dalton instead, where would the Panthers be going into 2024? One thing is certain, things would be VERY different.  1) Frank Reich doesn’t get fired. Dalton is a veteran and operated Frank’s offense far more effectively in the one game he started than Bryce did. The Panthers likely look a lot more competent early on and Frank doesn’t get fired mid-season. Caveat - It’s also been quietly mentioned in some media outlets that Frank and the staff preferred to draft CJ Stroud and might have tanked the season intentionally to get fired, all speculation. But the vanilla offensive scheme might have been a coincidence due to lack of talent and competence, or perhaps malicious compliance.  2) The Panthers wouldn’t have been the worst team in the NFL. The defense was fairly good in 2023 despite the fact the offense was the worst in the NFL with Young under center. With a veteran starting at QB, the offense would possess the ball for longer periods of time and could have lead to even better performances from the defense.  3) Scott Fitterer doesn’t get fired. A move I think was needed either way, but if the Panthers resembled anything in the way of competency in 2023, Fitterer doesn’t get the axe especially because they hadn’t seen what Bryce can do on the field yet.  4) David Tepper doesn’t throw a drink at a fan. I think we’re all tired of the owner of this franchise embarrassing the fans with his immature behavior but hey, I have to imagine that his rage wouldn’t have been at level 10 if they hadn’t had the disaster of a season they did in 2023. 5) Bryce has a good 2024? Biggest leap I can make in this speculation but I think if Bryce sat in 2024, and the team makes similar moves to build the offense around him, he would come into a much better situation after having a chance to learn on the bench behind a veteran instead of the situation he was thrust into.    We will never know how this would have played out but it is fun to speculate!
