I’ve always argued for a better draft pick and explore what you have on the team in poo time when the season is already lost vs a win.

However seeing this poo franchise draft like ass and be completely inept for 7 years at this point I will take a win if only to feel a brief moment of relief from misery.

We are the new Browns…take every crumb you get, the future is already always bleak with Tepper at the helm.

At this point I'm indifferent to wins/losses and solely interested in seeing team and staff development on the field. In general, growing teams need to stay mindful when winning certain types of games to not let it mask continued on-field deficiencies, whatever they may be for a given team. That's where the quality of the coaching and FO come in and that's where the rubber will continue to meet the road if Carolina pulls out more of these types of games.

This season is nearly a wrap. My metric for success was continued improvement and development on the field and I think it's fair to say that that is happening (degree is debatable, but it is happening), a stark change from prior regimes. Improving this offseason will be no small order and time will tell how things shake out.

I'm usually pro tank in situations like these. Like when Rhule was fired, I wanted us to tank hard and trade anybody worth a damn and just continue losing. I also wanted us to tank that last Saints game in like 2020 I wanna say to get a better pick.

However, this year just seems different. I feel like we have something with this coaching staff and building some culture and personality. At some point you really do have to figure out how to win close games. This year feels like that year when Cam and Co just kept losing close games and went like 6-10. Then the following year we just showed out.

And like others have said, we've been so ass at drafting that it has changed my whole mindset about wanting to tank and lose games. Fug that, I just want a win wherever I can get it now. Yesterday felt great!

I mean a win is a win and we basically have the same front office so there is no guarantee a higher pick results in a better player so Ill take the win.  However I am most certainly not buying this mantra of "this win is a culture builder" bullshit.  Feels like the same thing was said with the saints in 2022.  I dont think pro football works like that

That coaching staff was fired. This is a whole new legit coaching staff and young team that needs to learn and gel together through wins as they find their core. These will carry over into next year.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
