Would the Panthers benefit from losing the coin toss?

I suppose it's a matter of who you want to draft, but we can all agree that the 8 pick is a lot like being stuck between a rock and a hard place unless one of the top prospects falls.

drafting at 9 would move the Panthers back one spot, putting them in a more favorable spot should they be forced into reaching, and possibly giving them a more feasible spot should they want to trade. Would be cheaper too.. The other benefit from this would be that they would gain the better of the two picks in round two, which could put them in great position to get one of the good Secodary prospects in this year's class; ie a Lester, Minnifield, Gilmore and so on..

There is obviously no way of knowing if it would be advantageous to us or not until draft time comes, but it is something to ponder.

We would definitely win in being in the eight spot. Maimi is willing to trade away their LT, and if that is so, LT would become a need for them. I would whether have a choice between both Martin and Reiff, if we ended up going LT with the first pick. I suspect we may use our second round positioning to trade back, and maybe pick up an extra second or pick up a third.

By the way, some mock drafts are now coming out showing the Rams taking Blackmon (The Rams forum is blowing up about taking Blackmon.) and the Vikings taking RGIII. If that is the case, Kalil could slip to us at 8. Who knows, but having the earlier draft pick is helpful.

Ultimately, there's no real difference in terms how much money is given to the player drafted at 8 or 9. Yet if the Dolphins have some of the same needs we have, and a player that we both would want really bad slips, the team with the earlier pick gets that player, while the other team is left on the outside looking in.

How the heck does getting the #9 benefit us more than the #8?? It's a one pick difference. Man, the things people think of. Blows my mind. Trying to get too smart.

It's amazing how people can walk into a thread and not even read before making some ignoramus comment.

The difference is that Hurney isn't sitting in his office pining and squealing and hoping for every available opportunity to draft Ryan Kalil's brother.

Whether it be Kalil, Claiborne, or Blackmon, if one of those guys slip, we cant get them at the 8 spot. (Of course, the Dolphins don't need corner as I understand it.)

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
