Would the Panthers benefit from losing the coin toss?

This has been said 3 times in this thread already, but I suppose I'll say it once more:

Winning the coin toss hurts us in the second round. If we have the 8th pick in the first round, we have the ninth in the second, courtesy of the NFL's method for tie-breaking.

Is it clear now?

I'd rather have the #9 spot in the 1st round, so we can have the higher pick in the 2nd.. and I am pretty sure it alternates every other round, so it would not matter to us in the 3rd round, as we don't have a pick there. I think our guy will be there at #8 or #9 overall, so it doesn't make difference to me, unless we want to trade down. The #8 pick would be more valuable.

Be happier winning the toss and not having to depend on the Dolphins screwing up.

I prefer having the higher choice at the top where the impact players are found. Beyond that, we have to pick the best we can at whatever spot we pick with what's available.

Lord knows anything can happen on draft day.

Losing the flip will set the Panthers up better for the 2nd rd being in front of both bills and phins. With the 3rd pick being behind them for the bears and starting the rotation again. Although if miami picked Kalil, Blackmon, or Claiborne with the 8th pick... well I might :banghead: I will have to say picking 9th could hurt them, but the odds are Kalil, Blackmon, and Claiborne will be off the board by the 6th pick. Playing the odds means the 9th pick is better and knowing players fall for no good reason makes the 8th pick better.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      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.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
