Team A is going into 2016 with Josh Norman and Bene Benwikiere starting at corner and also grabs great players like Darian Thompson at safety and Braxton Miller at wide receiver. They don't have to worry about cornerback, so they use top picks on great players in other positions.

Team B is going into 2016 with Bene Benwikere and either Brandon Boykin or a rookie starting at corner after having to spend multiple early picks on James Bradbury and Daryl Worley in hopes that one of them can start in 2016.

 

Which team is in better position going into the 2016 regular season?

No offense taken. How so though?

The scenario involving Norman is easily the better one for 2016.  It's not a fair question.

It makes it seem like our decision was just limited to 2016.  Bradberry and Worley, along with deciding not to sign Norman to a long-term contract, go far beyond just a single season.

You can't make some sort of argument based on a chance event like the Draft with what-ifs. Had we not rescinded the tag, random chips might've fallen differently. 

Or, Gettleman doesn't give a fug, was never going to extend Norman for a ridiculous sum, and was drafting the plumber regardless.

Thompson and Miller are not great players (great ones get scooped up in the upper part of the 1st round), and keeping Norman was a one year solution (and distraction). 

You could 'what if' all day and include guys we could have kept and others we could have drafted, but what's the point, other than just wanting to complain? There's enough to discuss and argue about with the team we have. Living in the past is a waste of time.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.

      In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
