There is logic in rooting against Panthers victories at this point

[rayzor]

hey two years before the lions got stafford with their no.1 they picked drew stanton in the 2nd round

good point.

[Baschski]

it doesn't matter if you root for losses or not. we are almost totally assured of the #1 overall pick.

That may be true, but excuse me if I don't rejoice in the fact that my team sucks so badly that they pick first in the draft.

not a matter of rejoicing. it's looking for the silver lining.

i've accepted the fact that we suck bad enough to warrant getting the #1 overall. i really didn't see that happening, but here it is. i'm not upset by it anymore. now it;s just a matter at looking at what can make the team better.

looking at the big picture, as much as it sucks to have to go through this season, getting the #1 overall could be an incredible thing for the franchise.

For some reason this season I keep expecting myself to just give up on us and stop watching, but then 12:30 Sunday rolls around I'm starting to freak out as to why it isn't one yet. My friends think I'm crazy because I still yell at the TV and pitch hissy fits when we lose......it's not logical, its fandom.

Dont root for us to lose,just root for every other shitty team like the bills to win and we can still get the # 1 pick

SMF says some dumb stuff sometimes, but he is 100% correct on this one.

He isn't even bashing people who dont share his opinion.

[The Total Package]

screw all that. we need to draft AJ Green, o-line, o-line, with the first 3 picks.

Meanwhile, the Lions still blow and Mark Sanchez and Josh Freeman look like better picks for better team and for far less money.

in a few years all those early picks made by an FO that has a clue will pay off. they'll be serious playoff contenders before too long.

It's not that I'm pulling AGAINST the panthers when they play, but I sure as hell don't get upset when they lose now. Higher pick, in theory, means better player. nothing wrong with that. it gives me SOMETHING positive to look forward to out of this mess of a season.

[Jangler]

Me or any other Panther fan rooting for wins will not change the outcome of any game. They will lose. They will lose at least 5 more games. maybe even 7 more...happy? But that doesn't mean I don't want them to win.

[Jangler]

And if all we do is trade the pick away, then what good does losing a few more games at the end of a shitty season do? I say win! Win just to piss off the haters!

I'm not rooting for the Panthers to lose, but if we're going to suck this bad I'd like to see us get the #1 overall pick as a consolation prize.

If nothing else, it means the national sports media will be forced to mention the Panthers for a few months.

How awful would it be to have the # 2 pick and watch the team with the # 1 pick draft Luck and turn him into the next great franchise QB?

I have a sneaking suspicion that Luck isn't going to declare this year. He'll stay till he gradumates.
