tanking does not exist. it's a theory created by fans when they think their team is losing on purpose to get a good draft spot. teams don't tank, these guys all have to play / coach their hardest to earn their checks / contract increases / job security. trading key players for draft picks is not tanking, it's smart financially and helps rebuild the team.

We just need to change the name of the term. ZERO players will ever tank (unless they are gambling). Most coaches will not tank. I'd imagine many owners/GMs would like the team to tank but they can't control that. What we as fans are actually thinking when we say "tank" is that we are 100% ok if the team loses out, and we hope they lose out. We don't actually think/hope they throw a game. So ... we just need to come up with a new name for what we've be calling tanking. IOWL (I'm ok with losing) lol.

1. Majority of teams have holes, the only one they truly matters is QB, there are plenty of ways to fill in the rest.

2. Should always build out an Offense before a Defense, much easier to find defensive players in free agency once your competing.

3. LBs aren’t a value and we don’t need a top tier one to compete.

4. Most teams are within 2 years max of competing at any point with a competent coach and front office.

We'd be really good and immediate owners of the NFCS if we picked up Derek Carr in FA. 

I'd rather draft Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, or even Anthony Richardson in the first, but if we don't then get Carr.

I don't want any vet starters at all. A journeyman backup sure. I don't care if it's a second round qb and Corral competing to start. Just start drafting rookies and throw them out there. Please stop wasting money on pricey declining vets. I can't take that anymore. For the love of the Panthers please stop the insanity.

I’m the biggest believer of Point 1…KC has an elite QB and TE and is very meh everywhere else but the ability to move the ball helps everything.

If Carr is released we should be in the mix. And I'd still draft Richardson if he was there at #9.

      Another reason to root for UDFA Jalan Coker

      By Sniffrey · Posted

      Jalen Coker? Played at Holy Cross? Is there another Jalen Coker? I'm not going to waste any more time on an UDFA, but the very first scouting report I went to confirms  what I saw on tape: Must prove he can get off the line against NFL size and strength. Monotonous route speed is unlikely to tilt pro coverage. Displays small gear-down when stemming the route. Needs to clean up the wasted motion getting into his breaks. It's not his biggest strength, it's literally his biggest weakness.

      Another reason to root for UDFA Jalan Coker

      By CarolinaLivin · Posted

      Per NFL Website Jalen Coker Bio 2020-21: Tied for the team lead with 72 receiving yards (4 receptions, 18.0 per, TD). Played in 3 games with 2 starts in the team's spring season. School did not play in the fall due to COVID-19 concerns. 2021: Second-team All-Patriot League. Led the team with 51 receptions, 691 receiving yards (13.5 per, 4 TDs). Started all 13 games. 2022: First-team All-Patriot League. Led the team with 50 receptions, 912 receiving yards (18.2 per), 11 TDs. Played in 12 games with 11 starts.  2023: First-team Associated Press FCS All-American. First-team All-Patriot League. Finalist for the Walter Payton Award (top player in the FCS). Led the FCS with 15 receiving TDs (59 receptions for 1,040 yards, 17.6 per). Started all 11 games (2-3-1.5 rushing; 11-47-4.3 PR). Set school record with 31 career receiving TDs, 2,715 receiving yards Overview The evaluation for Coker boils down to balancing his pro-caliber size and ball skills against his level of competition and potential lack of NFL quickness and speed. His focus, ball-tracking and timing give him distinct advantages that other receivers lack, and his catch radius and hand strength helped him make mincemeat of Ivy League coverages near the goal line. Coker's deep speed appears to be average, so he will need to refine his route running to become better equipped to beat NFL defenders in space and open up workable windows for his quarterback. Coker is talented and productive, but the testing numbers will be huge for his draft slotting and chances in the league. Strengths Instinctive hand fighting in his release and at top of the route. Possesses robust ball skills across the board to win downfield. Fade monster with size, adjustments and sticky hands to dominate. Works back to the throw and is keenly aware of the sticks. Leverage and footwork for crisp cut-and-flatten on routes underneath. Weaknesses Must prove he can get off the line against NFL size and strength. Monotonous route speed is unlikely to tilt pro coverage. Displays small gear-down when stemming the route. Needs to clean up the wasted motion getting into his breaks. Below-average quickness with his run after catch.
