Tankers

The winner of this trash division is probably gonna cost themselves 10 spots of draft position. Just to get their asses kicked at home in the wildcard round.

We just cost ourselves 4 today. To be honest picking 10th and 20th isn't really much different. So playoffs is really the only success we can reach now.

So if we lose 1 more game or so what was all this worth? bashing people who are looking towards the future doesnt make you not a fan it makes you a realist. I was all for tanking but these victories push us out of legit top 5 pick range so whatever win out. However remember this thread when we lose 1 more game or so and are eliminated from contention and forced to pick 15.

Just about where Michael Mayer is projected to be selected. PERFECT!!!

So hopefully we find someone at 15 worth drafting that can make a huge impact. QB's can still be drafted at spot 15 and can develop into something very good with the right coaching and support around them if they have the physical tools, and the mental toughness to stand in there and take their lumps while learning and growing as a player.

There's gonna be All-Pros in this draft. Probably a couple of HOFers. Who will they be?

I'm hoping Michael Mayer is one of them for us.  Also one of these WRs we hopefully take: Smith-Njiba/Rashee Rice/AT Perry/Xavier Hutchinson.  At RB either Chase Brown/Blake Corum/Isreal Abinkanda/Dwayne McBride.  I'd take ILB Jack Campbell or Tommy Eichenburg.

    • We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
