So many lazy, tired-ass takes in this thread. “Tanking is for losers.” Yes, we’ve only heard that about 10,000 times. Get some new material 

Add this to the list.

You care, don't pretend you don't. Lol

But we’re not a winning team. We’re 4-11. To act like this win means anything is crazy. We now missed out on a blue chip player most likely since there’s only around 5 in this draft 

Explain to me how teams like the Steelers, Bills, Chiefs, hell any team that constantly drafts in the bottom 5 of every round have maintained their dominant teams without the need to tank for a high draft picks? Seems your theory has a few holes.

Uh buddy, there's a 99% chance this team wouldn't pick one of the blue chip players with the No. 1 pick. Let's enjoy a win that ruined someone else's season and leave it at that. Still picking top-2 or top-3 at worst.

There will rarely, if ever, be a draft with only 5 “blue chippers”.  And the odds that they go 1-5 is even more unlikely.

Football is a team sport and culture means winning.  The Packers, Steelers, Vikings, Ravens, etc rarely draft high but have elite culture and identity and cultivate/train elite talent.

Bengals hit the lottery with Burrow and then Chase (and Higgins) yet their culture sucks…and it’s a matter of time before those elites want a change of scenery.

Winning and culture comes first and is the ONLY thing.

You don’t tank to succeed in the NFL.

      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

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      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.
