Nah. Fitt and Rhule will take Howell or Pickett this year and win just enough games to be out of the sweepstakes as Rhule gets year 4.

Well if that happens we’re not drafting another QB in R1 next year. We’re a shitty organization but we’re not Cardinals level shitty (current year excluded).

Only if we trade up. He's going 1 most likely and we'll probably win 4-6 games and pick somewhere in the 6-9 range. Fug

What has happened to make you think we will be better next year than the past 2? This is a legit, honest question.

We are picking 6th this year with an OL that can't get much worse, a QB that can't get much worse, and one of our best offensive weapons might play more this year.

Also if you reverse our one score games this year (switch the wins to losses and losses to wins) we would have been 9-8 and probably made the playoffs.  You can't reverse them, and maybe we aren't good enough to win close games but it shows how close teams are.

This is college football, the line between winning and losing is a lot smaller than fans realize.

I'm not saying we are going to be a good football team but I would count on us having the #1 pick.

But Brees was considered short and a lot of people thought he needed a really good OL (which he had most of his career) to help his downfield vision. Not sure if we’re the right place for that.

I’m hoping a year from now we have an adequate line. Moton, Brady, our first round pick this year and a free agent.  Cant build Rome in a day but let’s lay some foundation for the empire.

  The schedule will be much harder than the slew of backup, rookies, and just poor QBs from this year. Only Matt Ryan was a decent QB they won against. Wilson, Mills, McCoy, and the most inconsistent QB maybe ever(Winston). Next year is the NFC West and AFC North. Burrow, Jackson, Mayfield,(Steelers), Stafford, Murray, Wilson, Garrapolo(Lance). I wouldn’t count on one score flips to make a team better that has very little resources to accomplish that.

To the people in this thread and elsewhere who think we'll take Howell, Pickett

poo if we do though we actually have someone who has a history if spotting the shitty/good ones so that's about the only hope in that department

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
