I don't know how to phrase this question about Character players

We all hear that the Panthers only go for players of high character. Looking back at John Fox's Coaching Stint in New York and I haven't researched a lot of it,but it would seem coming from NY, He could handle guys that had those Character flaws and I'm sure there were guys on those NY and Steeler teams that weren't stand up guys.

My point, Maybe our guys are Too nice. And maybe It's not necessarily John Fox who is all about Character. Could the "High Character" menatality be coming directly from the top, Jerry Richardson? Could there be a difference in philosophy between ownership and Coaching staff? I don't know. Just trying to start healthy dialog.

I do believe that our guys can be too nice on the field. You see it quite a bit, Helping opposing players up off the ground, smiling, laughing on the field at some times.

Our history is only 15 years old, but I cannot think of any defensive player that ever was just a nasty son of a bitch other than Kevin Greene and Brenston Buckner. I personally thnk you need player like that who are just a little crazy. Am I wrong?

Check this Kevin Greene you tube video out. We don't have anyone that plays like this(maybe beason and Davis and that's it). I forgot how to embed it so if someone can, please do it for me and explain to me how to do it. Thanks

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
