The outcome of this game was already decided before it started,so i just watched moreso as a casual observer,than the diehard Panther fan that i am.

I have a problem with rooting for your team to lose. For one thing, it's not like the first or second pick taken are necessarily the best picks in the long run. Nobody knows how these guys will perform when they play in the NFL. It's a total crap shoot.

I understand the thinking though. If it were GUARANTEED that Luck was going to be the next Peyton Manning then I'd have no problem tanking a season to get him, because players like him come around once a generation. But there are no guarantees that picking first will net you the most productive players in the long run.

It's much easier when you know they are going to lose.. we've won 2 games all year, certainly you don't go through some painstaking process after a loss.. you should be used to it by now.. with 1 more left, I can't imagine it's so tough knowing we will get the #1 draft spot, regardless of how the draft pick will pan out.. we have that control and can do with it as we wish..

although I did take note you understand the thinking.. I guess I'm speaking to those who can't see the forest through the trees..

1 more loss doesn't mean poo to anyone..

Here it is, if the Broncos and Bengals win this Sunday, we can officially get rid of this losing to win attitude. So I hope they win, and next week try to get Stewart another thousand yard season.

Honestly, I want the Panthers to win.

A win is a win.

[pantherclaw]

of course I want wins.

will never want a loss.

The rational part of me knows that wins are useless at this point and losing wasn't an awful thing because it helped get us closer to drafting first and maybe getting a serious franchise QB for the first time in team history.

The fan side of me always forgets that and roots for a win once the game starts.

losing breeds losing, regardless of talent.

losing breeds losing, regardless of talent.

This year losing breeds us a franchise QB that we have never had before which will greatly help out our offense (and will potentially help us out for years to come), that is also the worst in the league right now, more so than a worthless win at the tail end of a two win season.

This thread is new and refreshing. We have never talked about this before!
