No way I’m hoping we lose this game. We can lose all the rest but I want this one bad. I absolutely despise them.

So your hatred of the Cowboys is stronger than your love of the Panthers?

Being competitive like we have the last few weeks, but still losing the game is 100% the best thing for this franchise long term.

A single meaningless win in a lost season isn't going to give the players or staff some newfound confidence that will carry over into next season and help the team, hell, a couple late wins wouldn't have any affect on that at this point.

Drafting in the Top 5 vs even say 10th can be a game changer 3 years later.  No, not all draft picks are guaranteed to turn into stars, but if you're picking in the Top 5, especially if 2 QB's get overdrafted before you, you're leaving with one of the 2 or 3 best players in the draft class and have a better chance of them turning into a superstar than whoever you're getting 5-7 picks later.

I've never understood why people can't see the bigger picture at this point in a season and root against your team because you know that's really what is best for the franchise's long term future.  If we were already sitting in that 10-12 range and don't have as many holes in the roster, then yea, you root for the wins to build upon the next season (see the Lions 2 years ago), but that's not the case for us.

It's only meaningless to fans that are looking for our next draft pick. NFL players don't spend their lives working to be the best to intentionally play 50% to ensure a high draft pick. 

Each week when the whistle blows I want to see us win. I am not upset too much if we give a good effort and lose but I want us to win. The Cowboys are a Hated team in Panther nation and hoping we lose to them shows you're not much of a Panther fan.

so the rest of the season you're sitting starters. that's how you do it? 

or do you intentionally call up bad plays?

or do you pull players aside and tell them to half ass it? 

again, just trying to figure out how this tanking thing works.

      Canales needs to concentrate on coaching

      By Waldo · Posted

      That should have been this year. Tough to sell to anyone worth getting when this crew is going into year 3 on the hot seat. I still think keeping Evero will sink them all after last year's showing. If/when he is scapegoated they need to show improvement or it's likely to be so eone else's problem next year. I do agree in principle tho, it all should have happened after last year's problems.

      ESPN's Benjamin Solak on Bryce Young

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      I've listened to some things that have calmed the "Bryce was flat out terrible" to just "he was really bad" in Week 1. It's Year 3 though, and that shouldn't be the barometer. I've got 1% hope left for Bryce, and that's just blind homerism coming out.  I'm scared that as much emphasis as the team places on advanced stats and PFF that the team *doesn't* think Bryce was that bad in Week 1. Couple that with so many of the QBs in the league looking rough, offense being down in general, and I feel like there's a lot of "what if's" going on in the building instead of facing the music.  Lose Week 2, and we should switch the main focus back to building/churning the roster, evaluating young guys, and hoping our next QB can have a Jayden Daniels level of impact. As we're all well too aware of, QB is a crapshoot a lot of the time. Admit we made a bad pick, and go draft another. And another. Repeat until correct.

      I wouldn't want any of those starting as a rookie on day 1.  That said, we need a vet, that is not Andy Dalton, that can be the starter while a prospect grows and learns on the sidelines.
