Dropped to #10 meaningless wins against bottom dwellers with no shot at postseason is the Panther way for ruining draft stock because "winning is all that matters."

What else matters..being able to pick from the top prospects without having to trade up. Spare me with the "no pick is guaranteed" because I rather be able to pick from the top 5 prospects then have to worry if #10 will pan out. If we play the giants and the banged up saints yes we are champion ship contenders but if you evaluate progress against the worst teams then you can't really determine if you're getting better

That Denver game almost half of those yards came on the final drive. Against a healthy top 15 chargers dud..a healthy saints..dud. But beating the giants just to feel good and lose draft position is counterintuitive

If your strategy is to lose, no one wants to play for you.

I would always rather have a team that fights than who is told to lay down.

A team that fights is one to still be proud of. A team that chooses to win is a true embarrassment greater than any other.

Fight on.

I'll say it again for those in the back:

TANKING IS NOT A LEGITIMATE WINNING STRATEGY AND DOESN'T GUARANTEE DRAFT SUCCESS. IT ALSO COSTS GMs AND COACHES THEIR JOBS AND THEY LIKE GETTING PAID MILLIONS PER YEAR.

Yay, this is what i want...outside of Bryce somehow turning into Aaron Rogers (which he won't).  To win some more games and stay away form this extremely mediocre QB class.  Coincidentally, Bryce playing a little better will likely force the staff to give him one more year to prove himself.  Then we can focus on building the rest of the roster and when Bryce flames out next year, we can turn our focus to the much better QB quality and depth in the 2026 draft.

Seriously this whole tank strategy is the worst idea that could ever be dreamed of in competitive sports.

It's a strategy for cowards and weak minded individuals.

And a strategy to win against bad teams with no hope of being competitive against legit play off teams is some of the most brain dead logic I've ever seen. It's like a race who can be the best of the bottom 10 teams

Did you even read it said you have a better opportunity to pick from the top prospects without trading up versus having to get lucky toward the middle of the draft.

Maybe one more win throughout the season based on the schedule, not too worried about our draft position.

If we keep games close moving forward and still lose, I'm cool with it because we look like a more competitive team and still maintain a high draft pick. If we win a few more surprisingly, I'm cool with it, because it means that Canales is coaching well enough to make this sub-par roster competitive, which is good for our future if we bring in more talent.

I am not getting upset about any games the rest of the season one way or the other. It's a house money year for Canales and Morgan, let's see what happens.

We will still be picking in top 7, lets be real. I can't see us winning more than 2 more games. I'm not going to whine about winning. There will still be probowl caliber talent there when we pick. Lets just nail the pick and not trade up. Lets enjoy the occasional win fellas. Culture matters and players not checking out of the season early matters.

You are building a culture one way or the other.

If you keep fighting regardless of anything, you build a tough team that won't quit.

If you start trying to talk, you create a culture that quits

Sorry. Try to defend it all you want, but what you are holding on to is the absolute worst kind of culture for any team.

And the whole concept is just stupid. Sorry. Only the worst of team cultures quit and call it strategy.

      PFF names Panthers QB Bryce Young the best deep passer

      By frankw · Posted

      The majority of the huddle was all but ready to turn the page after the conclusion of his rookie season. It's not hyperbole to say in several key statistics he had one of the worst rookie seasons in many years. That's why even looking like a competent starting QB is being met with near parades around these parts. But the people who are looking to talk down to others are definitely forgetting this franchises past with the QB position if they are getting too invested in only the last 4 games. Even a guy like Baker Mayfield who people around the NFL had said finally turned the corner looked like dogshit against our defense and has now fallen off again.

      "Duh...pick one" so let me get this straight...worst rookie season arguably of all time, only 2 wins out of 16 starts and abysmal stat lines. We spent all draft picks, FA money, let good players walk, fired an entire coaching staff after one season, and still had to bench this kid after 2 games this season just to get a 5 game SAMPLE SIZE of what he COULD BE in the future after almost 2 seasons in the league AND YOU WANT CROW NOW?.....I would say kick rocks but that may be way to harsh so imma just say relax and keep watching his progression. I totally understand a lot of yall been waiting to blow off steam all this  time because Bryce wasnt backing up the hype you put on him and you had the hear the criticism for almost 2 years but from a morale ground standpoint this doesn't look good parading now. Most of us sat and watched him be a disappointment an entire season plus 2 more games eitj improvements  around him and had no idea if the guy even belonged on the field including the coaches.... so 5 games isn't gonna make me change my tune that fast. You would think you would understand that but we all know how emotion works in sports. Thats on you to figure that out tho. My opinion still stands for now. Hope that helps you out.

      Im really sorry to hear that bro.   Has to be a tough time for you and your family.  Dont forget to eat and sleep.  I know seems dumb but we neglect ourselves when we mourn which often just makes it worse.  Take care of yourself and your loved ones.
