🙄 with this stuff.  I would have been "happier" had the Panthers lost to WFT and in a way kind of wanted that BUT what did the tank the game people want the Panthers to do??  Did you watch that game?  WTF was not just bad that day but horrible ... tanking or trying to lose that game would have been almost impossible.  That is how bad WFT was that day. 

This is absolutely the correct take. Even with the bench playing we don't lose that game

Beating Washington and dropping to 8th overall pick from 3

It’s the Panther way...kinda like talking about culture and offering a futures contract to Haskins

there are ways to lose without looking like it. All teams do it to rest their players before the playoffs   New Orleans masters of it

its over and done.  Who knows, we might be better off

Teams rest their players because they need them for the playoffs and they are already locked in. Teams that aren’t in the playoffs don’t just obviously rest their starters. We did the best we could by “holding CMC out because he wasn’t 100%.” The only coach I’ve seen bench his starters when they aren’t making the playoffs is Pederson, and it is part of the reason why he got fired.

Imagine if Wilson, Lance or Fields go on to become a great QBs and we miss out on them cause of this meaningless bs game

Imagine if Wilson, Lance & Fields end up being scrubs and the guy we draft at 8 becomes great but would have missed out on him because we lost that game and drafted one of them instead. It works both ways. There are NO guarantees in the draft, not even Lawrence.  Everyone whining about winning a game and losing draft position forget the NFL is about winning games not who gets the highest draft pick.  Get over it.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
