There seems to be a growing rivalry of sorts between Chicago Bears fans and Carolina Panthers fans. The history between the two teams is obvious, seeing as though Chicago traded the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft to Carolina for DJ Moore and a large haul of draft picks, most notably their 2024 first-round pick. From my perspective, I simply want the Panthers to have a bad year in 2024 so my favorite team gets a high first-round pick. There’s no hate towards the team, organization or fanbase in particular. That said, fans of both teams have hurled insults and started arguments towards the opposing team over social media over the last few months. My general belief is the Panthers finish around 6-11 or 7-10. There’s a possibility they push for a playoff spot in a weakened NFC South, but there’s also a possibility they finish in last place in the division. Pro Football Network’s draft simulator trends towards the latter, as it gives the Bears the No. 5 overall pick through their trade with Carolina. Seeing as though I haven’t explored this possibility yet, I figured it would be worth a shot.
