I mean we did buy the publicity. But it’s short lived. Once the season starts if we are good, we are going to get publicity. If we are bad, it’s going to be like everyone other year for us. 

I dont know about that. Whichever qb we take is gonna have a lot of interest as long as they are on the field. Especially the Young Vs Stroud narrative. Just about guaranteed to keep both teams relevant.

Publicity? Winning is what matters and all the publicity in the world will get us zero(O) wins.

#1 pick and we're getting the runt.

But that runt is going to be hoisting the Lombardi  for us when he wins both the NFL and Superbowl MVP.

He might have to have help lifting it, but he'll  lift it, dammit.

Also Young going undefeated all season, undefeated in the playoffs, and win the SB which has never been done except for the 72 Dolphins when they did it by going undefeated all season and won the SB. We would be right behind them. Mess with the Patriots and show them how to go undefeated all the way to the SB. I know this is just a dream thought but you never know.

"A runt of the litter appeals to many buyers. Runts are frequently the heroes in fiction and movies. The runt at eight weeks is a true survivor. Much like the fictionalized runts, the runt puppy has beaten the odds and has continued in its quest for life. The runt stands out among its many same looking littermates. Its diminutive size can be very attractive to many different buyers."

Ok,  then after week 8 , I'm hoping we have our hero    🙂

Ive heard so many criticisms about what it cost the Panthers to swap first round picks with the Bears.

Too many picks in return, 25yo WR in his prime, ect.

No clear number one QB.

Since the trade, 90% of news about the NFL in general and 100% of draft coverage includes the Panthers. 

You cant buy that kind of publicity. 

100% worth it to me.

I'd rather have publicity during the season.  If you're getting publicity during the offseason it means you suck.

Panthers should have stood pat and traded up next season.

      Surprise! Wait… Surprise Again! Kon Looks Really Good!

      By t96 · Posted

      Ehh, new front office has 2 drafts under their belt -- Salaun draft class was really a horrible class in general, but Salaun has started to show some of his potential and KJ Simpson not bad for a 2nd round pick. This past draft clearly looks like it was knocked out of the fuging park obviously with Kon but also Sion and Kalk already contributing in somewhat big roles for late round picks. And McNeeley has shown potential and lit it up in summer league, seems to be doing well in the G league for a young guy too.      As for this season I think a very realistic goal and outcome of the regular season is sneaking up into a 7 or 8 seed and then winning 1 of 2 play-in games to make the real playoffs. Probably get cooked in round 1 but that playoff experience and establishing that expectation of winning is critical to the development of our young core.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.

      Shedeur makes the Pro Bowl

      It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
