I wouldn't expect us to lose every single game for the rest of the year even with how bad we've been.  Mostly looking at the divisional match ups remaining + the Giants. 

If that does happen though, I'm not entirely sure Canales and Morgan will be here in 2025.

Yeah, I know people keep saying Canales is safe but.....1-16 might change that. Especially with someone like Tepper at the helm.

This team is not winning another game this season and you can take that to the bank.

Now we just need a few of these other 1 win teams to win a game or 2. I don't even want to share the top spot.

This the Panthers they will find a way to screw us and win a few meaningless games.

 

It would actually be shocking if we land the #1 pick based on our luck.

I'm not sure about the other bottom feeders but Carolina ain't winning squat the rest of the way. They missed their window. Someone would have to throw the game for the Panthers to win.

[LinvilleGorge]

On the one hand, it's definitely hard to see us winning another game since we do appear to be the worst team in the league by a wide margin.

On the other hand, evidently the Panthers only exist to steal joy from it's fanbase so it's completely conceivable we'll somehow win a couple of games at some point just to keep us from getting #1.

[Prowler2k18]

Even if we lose out the remaining season, firing Morgan and Canales solves nothing and will only further damage Tepper’s bad reputation as an impetuous, impatient and incompetent owner. This team will continue to suck until we get this roster in better shape. Period. Any coach or GM would have a hard time making chicken salad out of this,…well you know.

We screwed up the last two #1 overall picks we had. Maybe third time's the charm?

Honestly having pick 2 or 3 might save us from a bad decision, so that tells me we'll have the first pick

Morgan doesn't need to be.  Neither does our scouting department.   You can never turn around a team devoid of talent until you can consistently add it through the draft and we haven't been able to do that in a very long time.

I have been seeing what has emerged as a theme lately. The scouting thing. I don't think anybody really knows a lot about it. So you can say what you want who can correct you? 

This might be the most involved thing I have seen on Bleacher Report but it is a good read.
