I'm assuming that he knows what he is talking about. The article says that since we lost to the Bengals, that trumps the winning percentage and we would own the #1 pick in the event that Carolina and Cincinatti have the same record.

Should the Panthers and Bengals finish with the same record -- and right now, Carolina is 1-12 and Cincinnati is 2-11 -- then the Panthers would own the No. 1 pick in the April draft.

There is no way in hell we beat Pittsburgh and there is very little chance we beat Atlanta, unless they sit their starters for the finale which IDT happens with NO at 10-3. It'd be nice to just go ahead and seal the deal with a loss to Arizona (call me a bad fan if you want..) but according to Schefter it won't matter if we lose to Atlanta and Pittsburgh.

Not per the NFL: Tie-Breaking Procedures

TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURE FOR SELECTION MEETING

1. Clubs not participating in the playoffs shall select in the first through 20th positions in reverse standings order.

2. The Super Bowl winner is last and Super Bowl loser is next-to-last.

3. The losers of the Conference Championship games shall select 29th and 30th based on won-lost-tied percentage.

4. The losers of the Divisional playoff games shall select 25th through 28th based on won-lost-tied percentage.

5. The losers of the Wild Card games shall select 21st through 24th based on won-lost-tied percentage.

If ties exist in any grouping except (2) above, such ties shall be broken by strength-of-schedule. If any ties cannot be broken by strength-of-schedule, the divisional or conference tie-breakers, if applicable, shall be applied. Any ties that still exist shall be broken by a coin flip.

Head-to-head isn't listed at all.

He reports for a major sports news group - used to work for the league itself - and doesn't know this? Ouch :sosp:

I was under the impression that the Bengals beating us early in the season had no impact on who would own a tiebreaker. I'm going to assume Schefter knows what he's talking about, but I'm a bit confused as to how it works.

Not this time he doesn't.

There are already two comments on the article telling him he's wrong.

For all who keep saying "dont we have to win another game for this to matter"...... I think this weekend the Panthers will win. AZ has a QB with less experience and I dont think is much better than Clausen. I can we can depend on the usually game day Panther implosion. :arf:

Its to bad Jake isnt playing for the Browns this weekend. I was hoping he would help out the Panthers one more time by giving Cincy a bunch of picks and fumbles.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
