Surprised to see that the Saints are still mathematically in it

Saints and DA aside, the system is messed up. No incentive in the world for Carolina to try to beat anybody. Plenty of incentive to tank. The draft should be tweaked to provide a reason to play hard.
I'm not trying to sound like a nagging, know-it-all but in Carolina's context regarding their last regular-season game this year, tanking doesn't get them the #1 2024 overall pick they so willingly and graciously traded to Chicago for their delusional, unnecessary overreach selection of Bryce Young, a prospect that reportedly, Panthers HC Frank Reich didnt even want but was forced on him by an idiotic, impulsive knee-jerk owner in David Tepper.
