We could be like the Dolphins, tank and be one game ahead of where we are at.

We might still have Rhule.

Perhaps, but just barely. Maybe a 25% chance at picking an elite qb in the top five vs a 20% chance if your pick is 6-10. Not enough of a difference imo to justify ripping the team apart in some kind of a front office fire sale to get a higher pick.

It was a tongue in cheek comment. But I will say that at least so far, Lawrence doesn't appear to be the generational talent that many thought he would be. Of course, he might eventually become good and even great.

When I was watching the Rams game, every time CMC got the ball, Rams defenders were swarming to him, and yet we kept trying to feed him the ball. Without him around, we had to use the others. For one game at least, it worked.

If Jacksonville gets the top pick, wonder if they would pick a qb?

I get what you are saying, and I agree the D played a solid game today. Especially in the third qtr. But Tampa actually won the time of possession battle. And if I am counting right, only had one three and out, along with one five and out to start the game. But the D was fresh enough at the end to have a chance. And that was huge. But Tampa Bay's offense being terrible played a big role as well.

Since the second quarter, the offense has been moving the ball. That does help.

My son just pointed out that if we can score another TD, the score would be 28-3.

Didn't think I would be saying this, but that is probably ball game and just about guarantees a panther win. A gift to the Falcons who are getting crushed today.

I am enjoying this a lot. Successful quarterbacks are just to hard to predict to worry so much about getting the number one pick.

In fairness, Evans wasn't covered that well, Brady just missed him. Third down was good coverage though.

Brady has 0 points thru three quarters, and Aaron Rogers has 66 yards also thru three quarters. Maybe we are finally seeing a changing of the guard at quarterback.

We shut Brady out for 3 quarters. Have we ever done that? I mean I know he is not the Tom Brady of 5-10 years ago, but even so.

Tampa's offense is worse than ours and it turns out that a one dimensional offense (CMC) is a bad thing.

Even if we end up losing this game, it shows just how dumb Rhule was for only using CMC.

Stupid challenge. Don't the panthers have someone in the booth who determines whether to challenge or not?

PJ walker probably had our best half of football by a quarterback this year. 11 for 12, 135 yards, no picks and a TD. Maybe Mayfield's second half against Cleveland was better, but it goes to show how bad our passing attack has been this year.

I imagine all three Bucs fans in Charlotte will be there. Plus a lot of Tom Brady fans.

If you look at a list of top qb's in the NFL, relatively few of them are from the SEC.

Its so difficult to judge how a qb on a extremely talented college team will perform in the NFL, but should we hold the fact that Ohio State's receivers get open easier against Stroud?

We might actually be forced to use other assets on offense. While I don't think it will happen, would be ironic if our offense actually improved.

The Cowboys traded Herschel Walker and got three Super Bowl rings.

We are not going to trade everyone, especially those still on their rookie contract. There really isn't a reason to unless someone offers us a ridiculous deal. I mean if someone offered three first round picks for Chinn, yeah. But otherwise, he is a good player who is relatively cheap. No reason to trade him.

Nah, we got rid of Anderson and CMC. Anderson was having issues, and CMC is getting older in running back years. If Burns, or Chinn, or DJ get traded though, you might be right.
