Cam has a 50% chance of going to the Pro Bowl.

After endless hours of meticulous mathematical research, calculator usage, and algebraic study, I have deduced that there is a 50% percent chance that Cam Newton, Qb, Carolina Panthers, will be attending the National Football League's "Pro Bowl" one week prior to it's Super Bowl. Considering players attending the Super Bowl cannot enjoy the Pro Bowl, I have deduced you better enjoy this while it lasts, since the Carolina Panthers will be in and winning Super Bowls for at least the next 15 years, making Newton's attendance of any future Pro Bowls a mathematical impossibility, barring any unforeseen variables (moving the Pro Bowl back to where it should be)

I personally, would like to see Cam ball once more this season, as I missed watching it happen yesterday, so here's to hoping the Giants or Pack make the Super Bowl.

well since 3 out of 4 remaining NFC playoff QBs are in the pro bowl, wouldn't the odds be greater than 50%?

Yes. I had initially thought 75%. But that seemed too complex and involved too much math and didn't want to mess up. So I ignored it and just said 50% since a Pro Bowl QB is guaranteed to be in the NFCG, hoping the Huddle would ignore it.

Thanks, douchebag.

Edit: Besides, we're all hoping San Fran annihilates the Aint's this week.

3 out of 4 = 75% is hard math?

Alright, apparently I have to satiate the Huddle's endless taste for proper math.

I knew there was at least a 50% chance.

I knew New Orleans had a 50% chance of winning this week.

If that is the case, there is a 100% chance.

But, I wasn't absolutely positive that a math equation combining those factors would equal 75%. I over-complicated it. The whole 3 out of 4 argument never occurred to me. I also never factored in New Orleans winning because I hope with everything in me that that isn't the case.

Here's a hint: In spite of what I said in my initial post, I didn't really spend any time doing any math.

    • It's not only about the draft spots, the scheduling is a huge factor. We already have a tough 2026 schedule by playing the North divisions, that's possibly 7 playoff contenders there and a few true SB contenders between the Lions, Packers, Vikings, Bears, Ravens, Bengals, and Steelers (Browns will still suck lol), while also pulling the AFC West for the 17th game. Let's just say for the sake of argument we are going to be true contenders in 2026 in both scenarios Would you rather go 9-8 and to make the playoffs as the last WC or worst division winner, lose in the first round and then have to add likely the Eagles/Commanders, 49ers/Rams, and Chiefs/Chargers to an already tough schedule because we have a 1st/2nd round finish this year, while picking 19th in the draft (where the worst playoff team picks) or Or lose an extra game to finish 8-9, while ending up in 3rd (obviously need Falcons/Bucs to get a WC spot) and miss the playoffs, but then get to add likely the Cowboys/Giants, Seahawks/Cardinals, Broncos/Raiders to the schedule while picking 13th in the draft (the highest an 8-9 team picked this year). I can understand why some people would just want to go to the playoffs again, and I can't fault that thinking.  But I'm always a bigger picture person and looking at what is best for the future of the franchise and winning a SB, not my immediate feelings that game/season.   So I'm taking those 3 SIGNIFICANTLY easier games and the 6 better draft spots. If we're a true contender in 2026, those 3 games based on divisional finish could very well be the difference of a 1 vs whatever seed.  Right now the top teams in the NFC are the teams who play in places you don't want to have road playoff games at... GB, Detroit, Philly are some of the toughest stadiums to play in, especially if cold weather games for the outdoors ones.  Give me the few extra easier games to hopefully make the difference in getting home field advantage. Making the playoffs to just lose in the first round isn't worth the first scenario to me when the alternative is losing maybe one or two more games while looking better while doing so.  I can stomach those extra losses in a much improved season when it's for the betterment of our future.  
    • We also watched Cam take Carolina to the SB but how much did his career change when he went to the Pats? See how that works? You create a post just to rag on player on another team just because you hate. You love to do this stuff. I've seen it for a few years. You are one of the main problems on this site. Not just y0u but you're definitely one of them. This topic should be in the nfl general chat. As a mod I would think you would understand that but no. The mods need mods around here.  This is for Panther's material. Can a real mod move this thread to it's proper place please?
