Win or Tank?

With the way the Bucs game played out last night, I’d like to see the Panthers win the division. From a pure shock factor, seeing Wilks and Walker lead the Panthers to the playoffs after the start that we endured would be incredible.

Would I like to have a chance to draft Stroud, absolutely, I think he has the best chance to be a franchise cornerstone out of all the QB’s in the draft. With that said, he could always bust too, you just never know with these guys.

So at this point I’m fine with either scenario… sucking proud for Stroud or winning for Wilks. I’m comfortable enough with the upside of Hendon Hooker that if we manage to sneak into the playoffs and end up picking around 20th, that I wouldn’t mind taking him.

I’m just glad that we are still somehow playing meaningful football right now.

The way I look at it we're going to draft a QB next year high in the 1st round regardless. The only question is do we have to give up a bunch of picks to trade up to get him or do we end up picking top-3/5 from the start.

I'll never root against this team; it's just not in me. But I can't help but to feel like it's by far in our best interest to not have to give up a bunch of picks to trade up for Will Levis, C.J. Stroud, or Bryce Young.

At this point I guess I'm just along for the ride. It'll be what it ends up being. At least Rhule is gone.

Winning 5 or 6 games this season would only hurt us going forward. Which is why I’m all in the on the tank. This season is lost. Unless you are so blinded by homerism you think PJ Walker can actually lead us to the playoffs. 

You realize this is the most likely scenario. 

Its possible that PJ is one of the best QB's in football each week, but unlikely.

Unless the FO gets rid of more players, and they don't have much time to that, we're winning 5ish games.

Too early to tank.

If we win 8 or 9 games, that means we've won 7 or 8 out of our last 12.  That will be as good a run as about anyone in the NFC, meaning we should expect a competitive playoff game at home.

We'd probably still lose and pick 19th, but with our core in place and the picks we now have, I think we'll be in position to continue to fine-tune.  There will be a good QB in the 10-20 range and we will have ammunition to move up a few spots to get him.

It will be nice to play meaningful games in December again and put off the draft talk to January or so.

Just need SF to continue to lose.

I'm so tired of loosing I just want to win. I'm to the point where I'm almost fine drafting Hooker. Or grab Mccall, Cam Ward, AR15, Penix Jr, Hall or someone in the 2nd and let them battle out with Corral. Also wouldnt be shocked if people got scared of Bryce's size and he fell to 8-9. Maybe package next years 1st and San Fran 2nd to move up.

      Nate Tice article on Bryce Young

      By rayzor · Posted

      at some point, though, you just have to suck it up and accept it and deal with the bad deal you got.  you go through funks where you keep making mistakes and hope that you get it figured out sometime soon, but in the learning process you realize you could have done some things better but you're stuck with decisions you make. you have two choices...whine about it or just brush it off and hope can make the situation you put yourself work. i know a lot of people in here have probably never experienced or dealt with failure much in their lives, but i have and i learned to just suck it up and try to make the best of the situation you've got yourself in because you realize that you're stuck with it for a while. doesn't do any good to keep harping over what you wish you had done better. you already know that. now it's just about moving forward from here and making the best of it and hoping you can make something of it. it's the easiest thing in the world to look at where Bryce falls short...and yes, that was intentional. everyone knows that and all that is done is beating that horse laying on the ground. what takes some work is trying to see how it can work and if they have done and are doing things to help the situation get better.

      How the Carolina Panthers found themselves in the worst situation

      I completely agree. Guys like David Carr and Darnold have all the potential in the world but really could have benefited from sitting for a few years.

      I will go to my grave thinking that some qbs simply need to sit for a spell and not start immediately and that having multiple head coaches and oc's in the first few years is a sure fire way to ruin a qb.  Having to learn new schemes, new terminology etc while having to learn to lead in the nfl is simply too much for the majority of qbs.  I know it sucks for the fans but look at KC situation.  That had a great vet mentor to mahoomes and simply let him learn with absolutely no pressure in his rookie year.  Not sure why more teams are not following that model.
