Prime-time quantity if we win out in grandeous fashion

If we win again next week and put up 30 plus points and can cap-off the season with an unlikely win in Alejandro's back-yard, how many prime-time games do you predict we get next year?

If we lose to New Orleans, I think we might get one Thursday Nite game, just through happenstance.

If we do beat Oakland and then somehow beat the Taints in the finale, I can see the tide turning and predict the Panthers will get one of each, one Monday night game, one Thursday night game and one Sunday night game.

Executives didn't get in their positions by being stupid. If we win-out and get the, "No one wants to play the Panthers right now" at the end of the season and Luke gets DROY honors, there is a lot of attractive reasons to put us in the spotlight.

Loose-out, let Kuechly fall out of sight because of such and we will be lucky to see more than a mention on the 4-letter network next year as the schedules are released.

What think ye, the Huddle?

What we do in garbage time this season will have little to no impact on our prime time schedule next year. Finishing a terrible season well just doesn't matter much in the grand scheme of things.

String together a few playoff seasons, even if they're Falcons style one and done seasons, and you'll see more prime time exposure. I expect it won't change until then.

We'll get a thursday night game against a mediocre opponent (most likely on the road) Bills, Dolphins, or Lions would be my guess.

I do think we'll play New England in a slot other than 1:00 p.m. on Sunday. It may very well be a 4:25 Kickoff at home.

The matchup of Cam vs Brady is pretty appealing.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
