I think he'd be crazy if he didn't. We've been doing a pretty good job down the stretch of playing well but losing. That's the ideal outcome for a team out of contention. We just fuged up and actually won two of them.

Then you think he IS crazy because he doesn’t/didn’t.  If the Panthers didn’t want to win the game, they wouldn’t have.

The Panthers organization didn’t want to lose this game for 2 draft spots.  It’s bigger than that.

alright I got some u n i  t a l k 

make the white on silvers the base road uniform

its a solid, game to game type look that is still light colors for hot games and keeps the Carolina *panthers* from wearing all white uniforms 12 times a season

has the added bonus of making the all white uniforms a “thing” which they’ve been trying to push the past couple seasons but nobody noticed because of how often they’re in white anyways

Anyone mention how well the receivers played yesterday? Even got a little YAC. Nothing crazy, but at least they weren't falling down or running out of bounds after the catch. XL, JT Sanders, Coker, and of course AT. Still need a big YAC guy, but if the young guys can continue to develop I'm not sure a high draft pick is needed.

This was one of the biggest positives of the day. Just about everyone on offense had at least one good moment on the field.

Having all three rookies get a good chunk of actual snaps this season is only going to help us next season. How much they'll improve is the big question. Definitely think we need a fast shifty piece.

yes entire offense played well.  some games you watch and notice recievers are rarely open but yesterday it was looked like every play young had 3 or 4 open targets.

The combo kinda grew on me over the course of the game.

Falcon fans have alot to be excited for also penix 3rd game he passed over 300 yards and 2tds had the one int but it was definitely not his fault.  Crazy the saints are lookinf like they may be last in the nfc south next season.

If we had lost to the Falcons that in and of itself would not be that huge a difference.  If we had only 1 or 2 wins this year and had the number 1 draft pick the plans and conversation everyone is having is very different.

Winning matters.

No one on the planet would have taken or wanted one win if that meant missing out on a generational talent, especially if it's a QB.  The next Payton Manning is not at the top of this draft.  In our current situation I think winning and playing well down the stretch is a much better outcome than a few draft spots in this years draft.

There are quite a few people here who wish we'd had the 2nd pick last year instead of the 1st but that's just another big pet peeve I have.  No one really knows and it takes a while to figure out if you guessed right or not.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
