No doubt about it, we should now tank for a good draft pick.

Are you guys fuging retarded? Do you seriously think a higher spot in the draft is the solution to all our problems?

I don't think anybody said it was the solution to all our problems. With that said, if we ended up with the first or second overall pick and could sell high to a team in need of a QB we would be set up a lot better for the long term then if we had a pick in the middle to bottom of the top 15.....

Why?it's true why win we are only hurting our draft pick,it's not like we are playing for a playoff spot.

"Why" is simple, and obvious: a lack of talent isn't necessarily the problem with this team. Obstinate, idiotic coaching is the problem with this team. A lack of desire to grow beyond mediocrity and complacency is the problem with this team. Sacrificing a season for a top five draft pick that may not even pan out is a weak, defeatist attitude and shouldn't be tolerated by anyone who has even the slightest desire to see this franchise ever see more than less than a handful of winning seasons.

This should've been the game to see what Gettis can or can't do. We've needed a deep threat all season: hell, we needed a deep threat last season. Murphy is for all intents and purposes irrelevant, Lafell is at best a possession receiver, and I'm not so sure that Olsen isn't a #2 TE masquerading as a #1 TE because we have no one better to take it from him.

We don't see the defensive line consistently try to bat down passes at the line of scrimmage. Our slot receivers rarely see the field in lieu of Dud's bizarre man-crush with the option/pistol bullshit that gets us nowhere. Our current secondary is generally a disgrace with a few moments of competence. But damnit, the relentless soft zone crap hasn't worked for us, and the coaching staff keeps doing that. Drafting the best corner in the draft won't fix that, because they'll try to mutate him into something that he isn't.

I don't care where we draft or who we draft. Until we get smarter, more consistent coaching, this franchise won't turn around, and having fans suggest that this season doesn't matter because we need higher draft picks isn't something anyone should embrace or tolerate.

To hell with "finishing strong." We play joke teams the rest of the season and I would rather to tank and atleast get a good draft pick instead of finishing strong against bad teams. My fear is we finish 6-10 or 7-9 and mess up our draft position yet again. Hope we tank for a top 3 pick and give our GM a strong hand.

Is PantherTrain84 really Ron Rivera?

Winning more games from here on out proves very little and accomplishes less. The league rewards failure so, fail.

I do agree with most here however and believe we really don't have a decision to make. Probably gonna take it in the ass from here on out anyway. Bend over panthers. Real football teams are stepping in behind you.
