Why Didn’t We Tank

ZERO chance I want to tank at seasons start, and again the only true rule about this ongoing debate is this- IF you are mathematically in the playoff hunt, win. PERIOD. Once you are eliminated, lose all you can. Wilks did right, until that iants game, that no one remembers or cares about*expect those "win at all cost" smooth brains.

Literally don't care. We did not give up much. Swapped first. Lost our lower second and still have our higher second. 1st next year and 2nd in 25. That is not losing a lot in the grand scheme of things. DJ Moore is overrated and we can get his replacement at 39. Most holes in the meantime can be filled through FA.

Yeah only a first and 2 2nd round picks. Not like those picks probably wouldn’t lead to starters.

I dont know if a proven top 20 WR on everyones list is not much.... he was the only player with above 1,200 all-purpose yards in the last three before this past year. Alllll with sus QB play and until this year sus OL play too. 

I still digesting this, but getting DJ heartburn currently.....think I prefer trading a 2025 first instead of DJ....

We did tank.  We traded CMC after firing Rhule.  That’s a tanking attempt by a front office.  

Players still play.  Coaches still coach.  They still care about their futures….which isn’t tied or viewed specifically to Carolina’s long term future

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I realize it about the expectations, but on paper, we drafted players who would have a chance to compete at positions where any could realistically step in and take the job---Freeling?  Yup.  Hunter?  Yup.  Brazzell?  Yup.  It is likely that all three see the field early and often.  Day 3:  Lee?  I see him as the #3 CB and the job is his when they are ready for him--and it is his to lose.  Hecht?  I loved him in mock research and called him the best C in the draft.  He might play a year behind Fortson or he could take the job--regardless, he is the obvious front runner for the 2027 season.  Wheatley?  I see Ransom and Moehrig as basically the same "in the box" type S.  If Wheatley can learn for a season behind Scott, he has the tools to be a serviceable FS, something this team needs.  Finally, Kuwatch seemed to be a PS pick, and he could be--but to win the 4th ILB job, he needs to beat out Bam Morris-Scott and with a 46.5 vertical (I can't do that on the triple jump) and a superior RAS rating, he looks like a special teamer and depth piece.....I forgot about Morgan's comment about giving up the 5th--probably to get ahead of Detroit.  Freeling has the athleticism and the tools to be the best OT in this draft.  The others lacked arm length or something like that--Freeling simply lacks a ton of experience.

      excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan.

      Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
