So... Panthers control their own destiny.... right?

Most definitely. These are exciting times for the panthers. It's been a long time since we could be excited about controlling our on destiny about getting to the playoffs. We should send the Jets a thank you card before we stomp a mudhole in them in december. I believe this team is for real. They are playing with attitude and playing as a team. Even when Cam had a subpar game, the rest of the team stepped up. The notice is out.....The NFL should be aware that the Panthers are out there and they are not backing down

NYJ showed that good D puts NO on the ropes.. we're coming for you Taints!

 

I just hope that good D doesn't put us on the ropes as well.  The Jets game is one of the few most are counting on as a win in the second half but they are looking like a tough out right now.

depends on if we play them on an odd week or not. 

 

they haven't put two halfway decent games in a row all year.

Almost every team controls their own destiny. That is such an overused phrase. If Atlanta wins out they will make the playoffs, so I guess they control their own destiny too.

They don't control their own destiny though because they must count on other teams losing in order to advance.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
