only problem with that is our 2nd round pick is gonna be so low due to the Rams doing well. All of the A-B tier pass rushers will probably be off the board unless we trade up a little it R2

And now Russel Wilson just threw a pick 6 to the Ravens lol. Thats probably game for the Ravens

This Ravens vs Steelers game is pretty damn good. Derrick Henry had a long run that put the Ravens in the red zone, then Lamar throws a bad INT. Ravens are up by 1 score thus far.

TLDR: Many of the top teams on the draft board are playing games that they have some small chance of winning this Sunday. First I'll start with the obvious. Carolina is currently 3-11 and 5th on the draft board as of right now. We're set to play the Cardinals at home for our 3rd to last game of the season. We close against Tampa and Atlanta. We've had some pretty key injuries lately, we could win or lose any of these games IMO. Vegas and NYG are currently in 1st/2nd place currently being the only 2 loss teams in the NFL and looking particularly hapless on 10 and 9 win losing streaks, respectively. New England, Jacksonville, Carolina, Tennessee, and Cleveland all have 3 wins. With the Bears and Jets being right behind those two with 4 wins. The Raiders (#1 team) play the Jaguars (#4 team) on Sunday 12.22 at 4:25PM in Las Vegas. I believe we would want the Jaguars to win. But the Raiders winning raises the slim chances of us getting a top 3 pick. Kind of a wash in terms of what we'd want. Giants are playing ATL on Sunday. Obviously we'd want the Giants to win. Atlanta is bit of a wildcard with a rookie QB starting his first game, but the Giants are so bad I fully expect them to lose. They finish the season with the Colts and the Eagles. At least the Falcons and Colts they probably have some tiny chance of winning lol. New England is playing Buffalo at 4:25PM on Sunday 12.22. The Patriots have a brutal closing schedule of Buffalo, LA Chargers, and Buffalo again. I'd fully expect them to not win another game. Tennessee is playing the Colts on Sunday. And closing the season against Jacksonville and Houston. so 3 straight divisional games to close the year for them. Crucially they've benched Will Levis so that could propel them to more wins. Browns play the Bengals on Sunday, and close with the Dolphins and Ravens. Tough schedule, but they did just bench Jameis Winston for DTR. No idea how good of a QB he is.

At least Legette has shown a lot more than TMJ or Mingo had. If he can stay healthy and catch more consistently he'd be a solid pick. Brooks was a pick that made no sense but whatever. Best we can do is hope we see him do something in 2026. I think Trevin Wallace was good before he got hurt. JT Sanders was good before he kinda disappeared after he fell on his head. But he showed some really good poo. Chau Smith Wade got a INT as a 5th rounder. IDK how hes performed other than that, but getting anything out of picks this late is just a bonus. Jason Crumedy is the only one from this draft I have no idea if he ever got play time or if he did, how well he did. Michael Barret ended up being traded for Mike Jackson who's been a servicable CB2 most of the year. So id consider that a huge win. I think the Seahawks cut Barret not long after they traded for him So overall, its not a bad draft. They basically got something out of all of the picks, minus Brooks getting injured again. If brooks showed anything and stayed healthy this would be a borderline great draft compared to anything Hurney or Fitterer did in the last several years.

In a hindsight laden redraft, we couldve done this : R1: Ladd McConkey (WR) R2: Zach Frazier (C) R3: Payton Wilson (LB) R4: Bucky Irving (RB) R5: Bub Means (WR)

fuging weird that we have NFL games and college games going on at the same time today. IDK which ones to watch.

McConkey has been pretty good but he also has Justin Herbert as a QB It's getting pretty obvious that Carolina has a "type" of WR they like to go for in the draft. Big, hulking, or physical project type WRs that aren't necessarily the best route runners or have the best hands, or separate the best. Its a trend that's continued through several different GMs, coaching staffs, and even owners. It's bizarre and frustrating to me. Id honestly like to go a year without burning a 1 or 2 on a WR this year. Because I don't trust their WR talent evaluation. Focus on defense and pick up some offensive players later if you want. At least Legette showed potential and Coker is good. Take a year off from drafting WRs high...

Why are people assuming Arch Manning would come out of college with only 1 year of starting at QB in college??? And a few games against nobodies this year when Quinn was injured lol

we moved up to pick #3

only problem is alot of people took those few games from bryce and ran with it. And vehemently shouted down anyone who said anything bad about Bryce as he was resurging. That's my problem. Im wondering what impact this game will have on those fans that were saying hes franchise QB based on that tiny sample size I personally never said Bryce is the answer. I was never a Bryce fan but I acknowledged the success that he was having and it was starting to turn the tide on how i viewed him. But the game today, made me question him alot more and QB position in general.

this is where im at. Bryce has a long way to go to make me believe hes the franchise QB

After a game like this with 3 fumbles and 2 TD (1 rushing 1 passing ) 2 INTs . IIRC he lost 2 fumbles and we recovered 1. and 2 picks. But he did score 2 TDs. He looked more inaccurate this game with bad ball security. But to be fair, the o line may have had their worst game of the year pass blocking. I'm not saying this wipes out the progress Bryce made over the past few games. But this game really reminded me of his earlier performances this year and last year. Saw alot of people on social media crowning Bryce and shouting down people that were more weary or cautious about it. Bryce has had way more bad games vs good games in his career. I believe what this game did. Was basically tell us that QB isn't set in stone for the future. If bryce has another one like this before the year is over. Expect Canales and Morgan to draft a QB somewhere in 2025 draft even if its later in the draft.

he didnt have as many turnovers in those games iirc.

This game is gonna open a huge can of worms for panther fans everywhere lol so many people crowned bryce on a very small sample size of good games and now he has a horrible game against a bad cowboys team im not saying this wipes out the progress that bryce made. But boy oh boy does it mean that QB isnt a solved problem for this organization. This game shows you its still an unknown. i wouldnt expect the panthers to draft a qb in R1 but . Any other round? I wouldn't be surprised. Especially if bryce has another bad game or multiple before the year ends

Def bryces worst game of the year

3rd and 9 and run up the gut??

this right here He changed teh game vs philly with that INT too. Only turnover of the game and philly won a close one

I thought this Cowboy team wasnt that good this year. This game will be a big reality check for a lot of panther fans this week.

This is worst game the Oline has played this year

Evero deserves to get fired after this game

Is that Cooper Rush out there or Joe Montana??? Thats just how bad our defense is lol. I saw so many people this past week saying they wanted Tet McMillan or Ashton Jeanty in R1. lol.

Why not just run the ball?

TWO FUMBLES AND 1 INT BY BRYCE. THATS 3 TURNOVERS

We could have a undrafted free agent become our best WR on the team which is insane
