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.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
