The 1 seed...

     By the looks of it there still is one legitimate threat to the one seed in the NFC, that is as we all know the Arizona Cardinals.  They are currently 9-2 with some winnable games left on their schedule. But in the last 5 they have the Seattle Seahawks, Minnesota Vikings, and the Green Bay Packers.  

     Now don't get me wrong Arizona is the better of the 3, but I guess the point I'm getting at is how many wins do you think will it take to get the one seed? The obvious goal for us is 16-0 and that is very likely considering who we have left but worst case scenario how many do we need, or how many does Arizona finish with?

Arizona's remaining 5: currently 9-2

@Rams(whom they lost to at home)

vs. Vikings

@Eagles 

vs. Packers

vs. Seahawks

I say 14 guarantees it, but I feel like they drop one, maybe 2 in the next 5.

I'm going with 13 wins.  Arizona and Minnesota both have harder remaining games than we do so they both could lose a couple more.  As long as we don't lose more than 2 I think we're golden.  Might get dicey after that but we've got a nice cushion right now and I don't see us losing more than 2 games the rest of the way.

I wouldn't argue if someone told me that they believe Arizona is the second best team in the NFL. That plays into our mentality of just win the next one, because that's all we can do. No more hoping the Cards slip up and let us take the 1 seed by default, we have to win and get it.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
