How does losing get us closer?

gets us a higher caliber player a shot at "a true investment" on the offensive line that rhule is speaking about. Picking outside 5 doesnt get you Neal which is what the best case situation is. It's the difference between us having Sewell and us having another corner...

I realize Neal,the Alabama offensive tackle, is rated high but almost all NFL Pro Scouts have him projected as a  playing Right Tackle in the NFL, the only offensive line postion we presently have covered.

Plus, i am not sure how long he could play injury free, considering all the stress his his vast amount of weight puts on his knees,etc..

My guess is the Panthers will try trading back to obtain more draft choices. There should be several good offensive tackles and a top center available to select  from, if the Panthers don't trade back to far.             

Well then If you feel that way what would you have us do? trading down isnt likely. Neal is the best offensive lineman in the draft if you wanna consider the center ok... but Its him or a defensive player probably

The SOS can fluctuate--I wonder if Ellis factored that into his prognosis?  For example, the Jets SOS is .515 and the Panthers is .507--a difference of .008.  Is it not possible for the Jets' SOS to drop and the Panthers' SOS to increase during week 18?  The Jets could then win and the Panthers then lose and the Jets would not drop below the Panthers. 

I guess I am not sure how much these SOS numbers can fluctuate during the final week of the season.

 

Since this is the 18th week the SOS should be locked in and he undoubtly took that in consideration when he wrote  : "The Panthers’ .507 SOS is worse than the Giants (.537) and the Jets (.515)"

SOS fluctuates but in the last week you are going to see VERY minor swings. 0.008 is probably asking way too much.

We have more than enough holes that picking 4, 5 or 6 really doesn't matter. If Rhule is involved in making the pick there's a good chance it's a bust anyways. If not, I trust Fitterer/new HC to pick the right player at any of those 3 slots. And realistically NYG and NYJ are not winning next week so it won't matter one bit and we'll be picking 6 win or lose. So let's fuging kick their pansy asses.

maybe the jets and giants will catch the other team resting starters?

Buffalo and NE are both 10-6 and split the season series, so Buffalo needs to win in order to win the division otherwise they'd be going on the road (likely to the Chiefs) if they lose to the Jets. They'll be gunning for that W.

Giants and Washington are both eliminated from playoff contention so not much motivation for either side really besides pride.

Most draft boards project that Alabama OT Evan Neal will not get past the New York Giants picking at #5.

Andrew Thomas struggled to begin his career. He has improved, but right tackle is a big problem because Nate Solder is a shell of his former self.

Evan Neal is a 360-pound lineman who can move very well, which almost seems impossible.

What do you Mean it doesn't matter it always matter. Having an elite solution at a spot even if it's one is the difference between say Taylor Moton and the rest of serviceable options. You saying players doesn't matter for some moral victory in a 5-11 season is laughable.

Which is why I said picking outside 5 doesn't get you Neal.we don't need some moral victory and need a little help from others.

      You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh

      Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!

      And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
