A dose of reality.  We are better than a bunch of teams.  Teams that we KNOW will be shopping for a QB:  Washington "so-called" Football team (today proved it), NYJests, Jaxoffville Jags, Indy Clots--all potentially worse than the Panthers.  The Panthers have a QB--his numbers have not been bad--he is just boring--but look at his stats---and the Panthers have 2 more years of him after this one---They are going to keep building around the QB spot.

Devil's Advocate

I am thinking that the New York teams will pick 1 and 2.  I do not see them winning 5 games combined.  I think Miami, Houston, Cincinnati, Jacksonville, Philly, Houston, Minnesota, Washington, and Detroit are questionably worse than we are.   Trevor is out of the question—so is Fields.

Here is how I see the draft (understand that there are 13 weeks to go):

1.      NY Jets (1-15):  Lawrence, QB Clemson.  If they go 2-14, Lawrence is the pick.

2.      NY Giants (3-13) Sewell, LT Oregon.  After Gettlemen is fired, the new guy may deviate from Jones—but I think they protect him better.  (This pick will get a ton of offers from Washington, Indianapolis, Carolina, maybe Minnesota)

3.      Jacksonville (4-12): Fields, QB Ohio State.  The mustache is not the answer. 

4.      Miami from Houston (4-12):  Chase, WR LSU.  The best WR in the NCAA to go with Tua.

5.      Miami (4-12):  Parsons, LB, Penn State.  LB is a need, and Parsons is the cream of the crop.  If this is the case, Washington will be trying to trade up.

6.      Cincinnati (4-11-1):  Bateman, WR, Minnesota.  Burrows needs some targets.

7.      Washington (5-11): Lance, QB, North Dakota State.  Rivera needs a QB to cover his arse.

8.      Denver (5-11): Surtain II, CB, Alabama.  They need a T, but they also need a CB, and this is the top-rated CB.

9.      Philadelphia (5-10-1): Moses, ILB, Alabama.  Philly needs a LB or two.

10.   Detroit (6-10): Moore, WR, Purdue.  Another Moore at WR for the Lions.  Big need.

11.   Minnesota (6-10): Smith, WR, Alabama.  WR is a big need in Minnesota, so is S and IOL.

12.   Carolina (6-10):  Rousseau, DE, Miami. OR Farley, CB Virginia Tech.  Yes, we need a QB and OL help, but there is no value on my board (Sept 27, 2020).  If YGM develops and Burns and Weatherly continue to play well, I think I would take Farley, the best CB in the draft, IMO. 

NOTE: This draft is pretty deep at WR and OL---so grab the stud DE or the best CB in the draft.

Counter point: You somehow have us winning six games. We are not going to win even 5. 

If we continue our current pace, we win 6 games.  With the improved D, I see 5-6.  And then there is this--you nor I know, do we?  Devil's advocate--worse-case scenario.

I do not see 5 wins left...

Falcons we’ll split - 1 win

Lions - 1 win

We’ll split another between Broncos and Vikes - 1 win

 

Thats being generous because I think realistically the Falcons will sweep The Panthers and it’s very possible they lose the Vikes and Broncos games.

Puts them at 2-14 or 3-13....4-12 at very best.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
