SOOO Is it to early to openly root to lose

[MGH1989]

I know some of you look down on this, but I'd rather have a great draft pick than reel off 4-5 meaningless wins at the end of the year, as is common under this regime.

rooting or cheering won't change the outcome anyway. Do what you do.

With you 100%. Top 5 pick would be fantastic. Not to mention 99s contract is getting cheaper weekly.

I want to see the Panthers win football games. My viewpoint is that life's too short to play for draft picks.

We'll be in competition with the Browns for the #1 overall and 7-9 means nothing this year with the Cons being good. SO yea winning means poo atm quite frankly. And maybe losing badly will cause change so if that helps get rid of some fat I'm gtg with that.

Atlanta lost so if we had a chance coming into today then we still have the same chance. Wouldn't mail it in yet

Atlanta didn't lose a division game tho.. so it doesn't mean poo.

Yes. I will never root to lose. I don't want a team playing to lose for draft position. Plus, we have competitive Cam. Cam will never play to lose a game. They'd have to put him on IR and let DA handle it.

Totally disagree. All we are promised is today, so I want to see my team win as many games as they can. Winning those 5 "meaningless games" will be 5 joyful Sundays where I'll not be in a bad mood for the next week. I'll take them! I love to win.
Also, I don't trust Gettleman to capitalize on a top draft pick.

It's always too early. Unless you need a QB there is no evidence to support that tanking helps anything.

That being said i've lost all hopes of us doing anything this season. Our deficiencies on defense are simply too big to overcome. Gettleman should face heavy questioning for this historic dismantling of a 15-1 team.

Im frustrated just like everyone else but it's nut over yet. Yes the secondary is plain out horrendous but things can change. I didn't think we win the division but I am still hoping for a wildcard

If you ever hope for your team to lose...no matter what your excuse, that is pathetic, imho.  I do not see how a fan can do that.

this, plus other players who might be interested in joining the Panthers don't want to play for a team that purposefully tanks. You play to win for yourselves, you play to win for the fans, you play to win for pride, you play to win for next year's contract, you play to win because That's Your Job.

Do you have any admiration or respect for the players on the team?

You realize that THEY don't want to lose, right?
