This has got to be the biggest debate, decision, discussion we've ever had in Panthers history.

Cam was a shoe in, Peppers was a shoe in at #1. 

Coaching hires? Nope.

GM hires? Nope.

New owner? Gotta be up there but idk.

Did Cam try to dive on the fumble? Should he have?

idk, is this the greatest debate in Panthers history?

You're probably right. We have rarely had the #1 pick and it involves a QB decision. Does not get anymore impactful that that.

i don't know about it being a great debate other than i think it's a much better debate to be having than 'who the fug are we going to pick at 9?'

For me i don't see much point in arguing or getting upset about it because, from where i'm standing, we win either way.

It actually makes me nervous because historically, whenever the Panthers have had a choice between two players they've tended to take the wrong one (Kerry Collins over Steve McNair, Tshimanga Biakabutuka over Eddie George, etc)

Of course, those were different Panthers organizations so I'm hoping this new version gets it right.

if any iteration of the panthers org/coaching staff should be trusted to make the decision, it's this one.

until i see otherwise...

I honestly don't understand the "debate" aspect. I get that people have preferences and want the Panthers to choose their preferred player, but how does "convincing" other people of what they should do factor in? What difference does it make? Who cares what other fans think in relation to your opinion? Why does it matter so much to so many of you that others here agree with you?

I think there is some truth to that. 

Whoever we pick is going to look better than whoever Houston picks,  at least at first.  Our line, weapons, D and coaching look better  atm and our division looks worse than Houston's.   We're the 9th worst team in the league, not the 2nd worst.

what's funny is the number of people who are pissed and offended and feel they need to retaliate if someone has the nerve to have a different opinion.

I have a preference. Plenty of folks here wouldn't like it. Here's the thing: I don't care. Makes absolutely zero difference to my life or fandom how many people or fans agree with me. Zero. Just don't get why people treat it like a friggin' cult and feel like they must evangelize everyone to their way of thinking. So weird.

I'm willing to give them a chance to show me otherwise, but the Panthers will have to prove they're different this time instead of being just another version of what we've seen over the years. There has been too many bad decisions over the years regardless of staff and GM for me to blindly hope again.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
