Before we can attain "eternal mediocrity," don't we first have to achieve mediocrity? 

The last time we met or exceeded that was 2017.  Our record in 2018 looks like mediocrity, but we lost 7 out of our last 8 and our centerpiece QB in the process, so the record was pretending by season's end.

It's been a while since we could claim mediocrity.

The players will never ever play to lose. I don't see why a mature football fan just can't seem to grasp that truth and accept that the chips are going to fall however they fall. A "meaningless" win does not exist for professionals. 

Sure thing, guy. I don't see why a "mature football fan" doesn't grasp how winning these meaningless games are detrimental to the team in the long run.

I fully believe an NFL team should build itself up to the point that a quarterback they select will have the offensive and defensive weapons around him that assures he can have success, be able to develop  and be molded into a constant winner.

All to many young quarters are drafted by bad teams and their careers are ruined before they get a chance to meet their full capability.

John Elway nods in approval.

Perhaps because it's not but, thank you for expressing your opinion.  We'll take it under advisement.

Possibly. Possibly not. I've never seen a working crystal ball. But I have seen star players---even star QBs, like Rodgers and Jackson for example, and probably even Fields from the looks of things, taken later in the first round. I've seen plenty of flops too. That's how this stuff works, grasp it or not.

A true "mature football fan" is going to pull for his team to WIN every game that they play in, not hope they lose. A "mature football fan" knows our management is going to do everything they can to solve our QB problem.  A "mature football fan" isn't going to hope we lose so we can "Possibly" get a quarterback that MIGHT be a franchise QB.  

Meaningless for you and the other Tankers out there.  

Last time I checked we were one game out of first place in our division where we are 3-1.

Our division leader has two games they are most likely going to lose.  

Based on your mentality that once you have a losing record you tank for the highest draft pick you can get.

We'll just tell Brian Burns that we are going to sit him for the rest of the season, to hell with your sack total.  You can get more next season.  We'll also tell DJ Moore we're going to sit him as well. Don't worry you can achieve 1000 yds receiving in 4 of your 5 seasons.  We'll also tell Bozeman that we are going to sit him as well but would like for him to come back next year. Hopefully we won't have a losing record at midseason, and we won't have to sit him again.

Shouldn’t have to tell Burns or Moore poo they both should of been traded at the deadline for the proper rebuild this team needs

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By RIPTreyLance · Posted

      Do you see the vision?  As of now our Carolina Panthers don’t have an identity. We are not an offensive powerhouse and on defense we only started getting it together towards the end of the year last year. In my opinion we are much closer to having an incredible defense that scares the daylights out of people. I say the answer is simple and we fully commit to that possible identity.    Emmanuel McNeil Warren (E man)  This guy is like a shark lurking around ready to attack anyone. Fearless. He is easily a top 20 talent in my eyes, and the only reason he isn’t more talked about is because he’s from Toledo. Do your due diligence as panther fans and watch his tape I beg you. Once you’re done watching let me ask you this, if you dropped E - Man into the strong safety spot on the Buckeyes, he isn’t being talked about as one of the best prospects we’ve seen in some time given the skill set you see with this guy? I think so. Put his name on the card and turn it in at 19.    Jacob Rodriguez  High effort, High energy, High IQ guy that flies around the field. We all know Jacob at this point. My only concern is he’s a little bit too good and I’m not sure he makes it to us at our pick in the second. With the additions of Jacob and E- Man I think our defense goes to top 5 in the league. We would have a duo of linebackers that rival anything we’ve had in our past. I’m not a GM so I don’t know what the possible answer could be, but if there’s a way we can comfortably trade up in the second to secure this guy I think we find a way to do it.    Spend the rest of our picks fixing the O - line.    Thoughts Panthers fans? Who’s the ideal duo for yall?

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      OL is arguably much more important to the success of a young QB. (Or any QB)

      Didn’t get around to watching this one but looks like Pistons played their starters and actually tried…? Unlucky that they sit vs Magic, etc and try vs us. Hopefully we can beat the Heat and then Magic or 6ers with no Embiid. BUT if not, the NBA really should give us the lottery win this year like they did Mavs last year. Another high pick could be our final missing piece and have us as legit top contenders next year and going forward if we’re healthy. Or trade it for a Giannis type
