We were always going to win a couple more.  I still think we are top 5.  But the teams ahead of us are all qb hungry as well

 

the top 3 are gone and they we have to start reaching

Nah just grab Hooker, McCall, Hall, or McKee in the 2nd or trade back and draft one. UCLA QB looks good too. I think one if the big 3 will fall to us though.

I, for one, would love to see CMC dominate and the 49ers win, further proving Fhule's failure at all levels.

Why would we want that? Niners losing only increases the value of the picks we just got from them. Who gives a poo about Rhule... dude is getting paid handsomely to do nothing the next couple years.

It does help, but the bigger issue that's been getting overlooked all season is the defense letting long drives happen, often out of halftime or following offensive scores. 

Today, the Bucs are having quick 3 and outs and add to that the run game has been working better and the offense is staying on the field more. 

I get what you are saying, and I agree the D played a solid game today.  Especially in the third qtr.   But Tampa actually won the time of possession battle.  And if I am counting right, only had one three and out, along with one five and out to start the game.  But the D was fresh enough at the end to have a chance.  And that was huge.

But Tampa Bay's offense being terrible played a big role as well.

We are picking a qb in the first.   That’s locked in stone.  I doubt we have the stones to trade back and pick one.  We probably would just take the next guy on our ranking regardless of where we are.

Good point, my anger at Fhule is still guiding me.

If we are picking in the top 10 and the big 3 are gone there is no need to reach. After the top 3 there is a drop off, but still a long list of talented passers. 
However, there are still a lot of games left and I think we will walk away with Stroud, Young, or Levis.

JFC, Tampa has scored 3 points. Saying we would have lost with CMC is ridiculous. This Tampa team is garbage right now. If Jarret doesn’t get a penalty, Tampa’s 0-5 after beating Winston (he threw 3 picks). They are a bad team now. We win this game easily with CMC.

All of a sudden Chubba and Foreman are gods, lol. 

Never said any such thing about Foreman or Chubba, just that having an elite RB is less valuable than most here want to believe.  Having. An elite RB is essentially inconsequential in today's NFL.  Is it cool and fun to watch?  Absolutely.  Does it matter?  Nope.  Go find me the teams with one elite/workhorse/primary RB with the offense built around that who have won a Superbowl in the last few years.  Kamara, Taylor, and Henry are probably the most dominant other RBs in the league in the last few years and not one of them have a Superbowl or even sniffed one.  So Foreman and Chubba don't have to be "gods," they just have to produce in a committee just like they did today.  And it's amazing how functional the offense looks when you're not forcing the ball to one guy all day...  bekieve it or not, as fun as it was to watch, he held us back...  and any offense that relies primarily on one RB are setting themselves up for failure in today's NFL.

And to be clear, I wasn't saying we would've lost to Tampa with CMC if he scored 4 TDs - which also was asinine in itself because name the last time he scored 4 TDs.  The post I responded to also claimed he would score 4 TDs on all of those runs today, which is also hard to believe.  But regardless, I was saying because of the style of the offense we ran with CMC, we probably a) wouldn't have scored 4 TDs with him scoring all 4 of them as the other poster claimed and b) we wouldn't have won because the offense had no balance or sense of distribution.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
