Winning/Losing Out

I wanna get everyones take on this. Would you guys rather win the next 2 games, go 7-9, and have momentum for next year or would you rather lose out, get a high draft pick, and make our team better? Personally, I would rather lose the next 2 games and secure a high draft pick and take a CB and then dominate next year.

This has been discussed numerous times so you'll probably get flamed. To answer the question the point of the game is to win. Wanting to lose is idiotic and anyone who cheers for a loss is either a moron or a horrible fan.

I wanted us to lose out last year so we could take andrew luck.

we ended up with cam.

I mean i guess it KIND of worked out...

Well winning will help to somewhat put to rest another, Cam can't do something argue. The Cam can't close out a season strong has already been started by some Panthers fans on other boards. Got to leave it to some Panther fans for giving the media reasons for not having faith in their team.

I hope the Panthers continue to play hard. Again I hope Cam throws for 500, Smitty gets 200 receiving yards, D-Will and J-Stew get 100 rushing yards each, and the D gets multiple sacks and interceptions. At the same time, I hope they lose to get the better draft pick. I hate feeling this way at the end of seasons, but I blame the Panthers for putting me in this predicament. If only they play this hard for the whole seaon, and not decide to show up for the last games.

    • Ehh, new front office has 2 drafts under their belt -- Salaun draft class was really a horrible class in general, but Salaun has started to show some of his potential and KJ Simpson not bad for a 2nd round pick. This past draft clearly looks like it was knocked out of the fuging park obviously with Kon but also Sion and Kalk already contributing in somewhat big roles for late round picks. And McNeeley has shown potential and lit it up in summer league, seems to be doing well in the G league for a young guy too.      As for this season I think a very realistic goal and outcome of the regular season is sneaking up into a 7 or 8 seed and then winning 1 of 2 play-in games to make the real playoffs. Probably get cooked in round 1 but that playoff experience and establishing that expectation of winning is critical to the development of our young core. 
    • Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.
    • It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
