(By Darin Gantt, [email protected]) CHARLOTTE -- All the Carolina Panthers can do at this point is spoil things for the Atlanta Falcons, and it sounds like something that's been discussed around their meeting rooms.p/Both coach John Fox and quarterback Jimmy Clausen referred Wednesday to Minnesota's 24-14 win over playoff-bound Philadelphia Tuesday night, a clear sign they're using it as some shred of motivation for this week's finale at the Georgia Dome.

Maybe/ Here is why:

Clausen and Fox have nothing to lose.

Panthers had 10 days to prepare. Atlanta has 6.

Falcons had an emotional game vs. a division rival. Panthers a trap before playoffs.

Falcons will try to avoid injuries

Falcons have wrapped up playoff berth; Panthers playing for their professional lives and coach.

Panthers have nothing to lose.

Roddy White will be a challenge for our DB's again and I'd expect to get a heavy does of Turner. The real thing is to see how well our OL does against Abraham this time, they will need to limit turnovers to give any hope.

Looks like we are going to need a perfect completion percentage by Edwards again to have a chance.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious.

      We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
