2010 coach dealt a bad hand?

If Fox is fired, will the incoming coach be dealing with a mess?

1. No clear starting QB

2. QB with most experience has a big contract, and will need to be cut

3. Peppers situation...let him walk?

4. Jarret? Give up on him and spend money on a reliable WR?

5. Extend Dwill? His contact will just about be up at the start of next season. Where will the money come from?

6. No first round draft pick.

Lots to think about. A coaching change is needed, but I feel bad for whoever comes in.

next year has the potential to be even worse than this year.. if this team continues to go down hill, we are going to be an absolute train wreck in the offseason.. and our stars are probably gonna want to jump ship. this is going to be where the true fans stay with the team and the bandwagoners (as much of Charlotte is) hop off

I thought Dwill is under contract for this season and next season. I could be wrong, though.

But no, it isn't a terrible situation. Good owner, good core of players. Just needs a solid scheme change.

the reason i say it's a bad situation is all based on how this season finishes.. if we go 7-9 or 8-8 the stench won't be so bad and it'll be easier to turn over.. if we go any worse than that, this could be a hard off season

New Coaches..would love to come here..because this team has a great core..wont have to go into total rebuild mode.

just look at the jets, mangini made a solid core. Now Rex is utilizing that core of players, with a rookie QB to boot and is already being successful all it takes is a system...

But is Moore gonna be that QB for us? If not, can we get a starter in the 2nd round?

That is up in the air, when moore was given a clear slate he impressed but recently it seems moore has fallen out of fox's favor that it took a week to decide who was Jake's back-up which is a damn shame, but to your question on the drafting of a non-first round qb look at trent edwards of buffalo, croyle, and thigpen, QB's can be found they just have to go to a system which utilizes they're strengths...IMHO

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
