I think its utterly ridiculous that the NFL *still* seeds suck-ass division winners

Higher than Wild Card teams who are better than them in the regular season.

There should be NO reward for sucking and playing in a division that sucks so bad that you STILL win it.

They should seriously look into a record based seeding. Having an 11-5 patriots team miss the playoffs while an 8-8 AFC West team in over them is a complete joke.

Same for a 7-9 Seatle team getting in.

If there isn't a reward for winning divisions they should ditch then entirely, and conferences too. If we can't win our division we don't deserve a guaranteed home game.

 

I am all for getting rid of divisions, but I think the better record should have the home field.  Dallas/Detroit/Philly/GB/Chicago should not be rewarded just because they play in crap divisions and Car/SF/NO do not.

The reward is you make the playoffs.  What is being discussed here is that teams with a better record should get a higher seed.

removing division-based playoff seeding would largely destroy compelling division rivalries. 

 

Okay, let's say we theoretically remove division based seeding this year.  Which division rivalries would be impacted?  SF would still be fighting for a WC spot while Seattle runs away with the division.  Philly and Dallas would still be duking it out for the division and the only playoff spot from that division.  Carolina and New Orleans would still be duking it out for playoff seeding. 

 

I honestly don't think it would have a bit of an impact on division rivalries.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
