We are not tanking. Might as well get over that notion.

Most of you are on board with the Panthers not tanking. But I still see some stragglers that believe still that the Panthers will intentionally only win one game this season.

That is simply not true.

Yes, the Panthers will struggle this year and are not a playoff team. However, they could win as many as 6 or 7 games if Matt Rhule is worth the giant contract he was signed to. 

Improving and building a winning culture is far more important than hoping and praying you select a college kid that may or may not work out in the NFL.

The former is the ideology of the Patriots. The latter is the ideology of the Jaguars.

Which team would you rather copy?

Oh, I don't think we're gonna do it intentionally. But I'll be very surprised if this team wins more than 3 games.

Quite possible, and I would be fine with that provided:

- The team shows improvement as the season progresses.

- They are out played , not out coached

This stafff is nearly devoid of NFL experience. They're going to get out coached. I just hope to see them adapt and develop.

It’s not intentional, but keeping all your Draft picks, and 3 Undrafted Rookie Free Agents on the 53 man. With the possibility of starting 4 Rookies on defense.....yeah man. This isn’t tanking, but I be damned if it isn’t close to it. 

They know what they are doing

Seahawks

I see Rhule more in the mold of Pete Carroll than Bill Bellichick.  

I don’t think we intentionally tank but may still end up with a top 3 draft pick.  Remember that it takes Rhule a couple of years to put his philosophy in place and start winning.

Damn I just looked 50% of the secondary are rookies.

 

2 rookies and a 2nd year guy on the dline.  We may not be intentionally tanking but this is pretty off the wall style in trying to win games immediately.  And I am too scared to look at the oline roster  ::shudder::

 

The staff may be saying all the right things but I believe their actions clearly show they are building for the long term not short term.

I get it. JI wants the clicks, needs the positivity. But real fans know this team will be hot garbage. The roster decisions show that, regardless of what the coaches say.

I am not convinced NFL experience stops this from happening.

*looks at last year*

Isn't this what people also said about Miami last year and they ended the season 5-4?

Tanking is about a mentality.  You don't instill a "lose intentionally" mentality, especially on young players.  Tanking just doesn't work in the NFL.  Its not required to tank to find a QB to get you to the playoffs or Superbowl.  If you look at the last season, one may even say its a sign you *wont*.

    • The last thing I want to do is read what the average fan thinks.  Most can't think past the last game they watched. Now we have people trying to say we were really pretty good last year and the whole problem was just Bryce.  The coaching staff, playcalling, play of the rest of the team was not good.  Giving up on a high draft pick after nearly killing him with 9 different starter at guard, horrible play calling and a below average run game is not a recipe for a rookie QB.  I'm not blind.  His play the first two weeks of this season was awful and 100% is not good enough to play QB in the NFL, starter or backup.  If this is who he is and there is no hope for improvement then he'll be out of the league soon enough.  Go watch the All 22 film.  There is a lot of horrible plays but there are also a lot of good one.  NFL level ability, throws and runs.  More than enough examples of good plays to say if he can play like that consistently then he can be an NFL starting QB. It's very easy to see the biggest problem now is his confidence which has caused him to regress even more and make his good traits average or worse and his bad traits look like they can't be fixed. We know he's a young kid. We know last year the panthers did a horrible job putting in a position to be successful. We know that our new head coach excels at helping and training QBs. We know we've already paid a good deal of his contract. We know he's very willing to learn and has a good attitude despite his situation. We know he has the raw ability to play at this level because he has already done it. There are a great number of reasons not to throw the kid out on his butt just yet. We are at the bottom of the league.  We don't have the pleasure of throwing any potential away. Worse case we miss out on a 4th or 5th round pick.  Best case, Canales is the real deal and he turns Bryce into the player he was in college but at the NFL level.
