Panthers are one game out of first place in the NFCS

I've said it over and over.  Tanking is a Fan term not a term players know or use.

We have the best defense in the NFCS.  If we can get some solid offensive play we can beat anyone.  

Wilks has this team believing they can compete.  Next week will show whether we are turning the corner or just pulled off an emotional win.

If we win at Atlanta this weekend, then go on the road to beat the Bengals we could be going into our one primetime game of the year with our new helmets and a chance to be at .500. It would be the first time we would have a homefield advantage this year.

Whoever wins this division is going to really fug themselves. The whole division is terrible and needs a QB. Someone is gonna cost themselves 10 spots of draft position just to get their asses kicked in the wildcard round and go down as the worst team to ever make the playoffs.

I hate feeling this way but I agree.   Making the playoffs because everybody else is asscheeks is just hurting us in the long term.

But beating Brady did feel nice.

Winning the division gets us an ass kicking in the playoffs, Wilks as coach,  ben mccado as OC, and a  shitty draft spot

 

But culture or something.  Beating Brady is fun but looking long term...........

You absolutely could be right.  But the other way to look at it is:

If we win the division, we suddenly become very appealing to a new coach and/or the next great QB dissatisfied with his current team.  Especially considering we basically have two sets of draft picks to work with.

This is certainly a glass-half-full/wishful thinking view when I'm not remotely convinced we can win the division yet.  But, at least for me, that'll give me the reason to root for our guys to win.

 

And to the OP, yes, it's shocking to be one game out of 1st in nfcs.  Even more shocking to add to it that we are one game out of draft pick #1 AT THE SAME TIME.  And undefeated in our division to boot.

Screwy times.

    • Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
    • Bryce youngs first starts for 3 years   51 of 103 49%     153 yards avg 6 ints 2 tds   But this is the year he turns it around
    • His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
