For the Anti-Tankers: Can you provide a legitimate reason that this team should not have tanked last year?

Using gifs because you know I'm right

dude if you think tanking is real, there is nothing I can say that is going to change your mind.

and I did respond just after that, GM's, presidents, scouts, executives, all get fired if a team does not perform. I'm not sure what world you live in. Even owners will sell a team if they are unsuccessful. This debate is outrageous and not worth my time. I am truly enjoying laughing at folks that believe this to be true. good grief kids...

I don't know exactly how this season is going to turn out, but I really can't see this team mustering more than 6 wins. It's hard to watch right now without DJ Moore (our best weapon outside of CMC in recent history) out there and knowing we have no 1st rounder for the next draft. We fired Wilks after the season, so there was no "winning culture, bro" to be sustained. So what exactly was the point of last year? We beat bad teams and got trounced by good ones.

If we had finished the year with Rhule or Baker, we would have either Young, Stroud, or Richardson at no extra cost. And don't tell me about player morale because it isn't looking great right now anyways. Not to mention we are getting laughed for being "fleeced" by Chicago and keeping Burns looks like a horrendous move right now.

I know, I know. "I'm a loser." "Players and coaches don't tank." 

So, can you provide a reason that you would still stand by the anti-tanking mindset?

Character is a great reason.

I’m really confident one of the players used the tank word when describing how this went down and why they were upset. 

you're talking about when SB winning coach and Jags current coach subbed Sudfield in on the last game of the season to improve a draft spot? oh the horror.

people like you base your entire theories around poo like that and claim a team is tanking their entire season lmao.

To improve their draft spot via subbing in lesser players = tank

Bullshit. Shitty GMs keep their job all the time on losing teams. If Fitterer had a 3-14 team last year, he would still have his job and you know it. And why would an owner that is okay with tanking fire his GM that is facilitating the moves? That doesn't make any sense.

But you go ahead act like you're holier than thou and send some more emails to the organization that they will send straight to the trash bin.

huge reach. many players are sat for the last game of the season. I'm all for making an adjustment like this on the low to improve a draft spot if it's the last game and the season is lost...

The Bucs GM who has a number of bad seasons also has a super bowl and GM of the year awards. The dude drafted a kicker in the 2nd round...GMs ALWAYS have a long leash.

      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...
