The best player in the nfl was picked 10th overall by a team that had just gone 12-4.    
 

Evaluation is more important than draft position. 

And the Panthers absolutely suck at it.  Thanks for making me feel better.  j/k

I feel like I’ve been rooting for draft position for the last three years and it hasn’t done a damn thing for us. 
 

I’m with Canales. Let him build a culture here and we will start seeing better results. We have to prove to ourselves we can win first.

I’ve been a longtime tanker but the Panthers have been so terrible at drafting that they changed my whole mindset

I’ve always argued for a better draft pick and explore what you have on the team in poo time when the season is already lost vs a win.

However seeing this poo franchise draft like ass and be completely inept for 7 years at this point I will take a win if only to feel a brief moment of relief from misery.

We are the new Browns…take every crumb you get, the future is already always bleak with Tepper at the helm.

At this point I'm indifferent to wins/losses and solely interested in seeing team and staff development on the field. In general, growing teams need to stay mindful when winning certain types of games to not let it mask continued on-field deficiencies, whatever they may be for a given team. That's where the quality of the coaching and FO come in and that's where the rubber will continue to meet the road if Carolina pulls out more of these types of games.

This season is nearly a wrap. My metric for success was continued improvement and development on the field and I think it's fair to say that that is happening (degree is debatable, but it is happening), a stark change from prior regimes. Improving this offseason will be no small order and time will tell how things shake out.

I'm usually pro tank in situations like these. Like when Rhule was fired, I wanted us to tank hard and trade anybody worth a damn and just continue losing. I also wanted us to tank that last Saints game in like 2020 I wanna say to get a better pick.

However, this year just seems different. I feel like we have something with this coaching staff and building some culture and personality. At some point you really do have to figure out how to win close games. This year feels like that year when Cam and Co just kept losing close games and went like 6-10. Then the following year we just showed out.

And like others have said, we've been so ass at drafting that it has changed my whole mindset about wanting to tank and lose games. Fug that, I just want a win wherever I can get it now. Yesterday felt great!

Can't change a culture where you encourage guys to not want to win all the time.

I mean a win is a win and we basically have the same front office so there is no guarantee a higher pick results in a better player so Ill take the win.  However I am most certainly not buying this mantra of "this win is a culture builder" bullshit.  Feels like the same thing was said with the saints in 2022.  I dont think pro football works like that

That coaching staff was fired. This is a whole new legit coaching staff and young team that needs to learn and gel together through wins as they find their core. These will carry over into next year.

Panther fans: We need to keep losing for better draft position.

Also Panther fans: We suck at drafting!
