So much for extra practice

actually the players need to clear their mind, get away from all the b.s and while their doing that fox needs to be reviewing film and try to figure out how to save his job

Maybe give them the weekend off, but they obviously need more practice to get in sync. It's not going to happen by osmosis.

Well, it's easy for us fans to sit here and claim that Fox needs to work them until they can't stand up anymore, but that's not always the answer, especially when you're dealing with so many injuries. And BTW, I'm sure they will still be lifting and watching film, so it's not like they're all going on vacation.

You also have to remember that they won't get another bye for the rest of the season.

I wouldn't suggest he work them to death, by his own admission the mistakes have been mental so I'd recommend they have a few days of blackboard time to try and clean up those mental mistakes.

Well, sometimes the best way to correct mental mistakes, is to get away from the source of your frustrations. Don't worry, when they come back, it will be 13 straight weeks of grinding it out with no breaks in between games.

This is completely unacceptable, at the very minimum the panthers should be practicing tackling for 5 days. I would like it if they also practiced 3 second passing routes and screens.

This happened last season as well, the panthers went into a

bye week and should have used the 2 weeks to get better,

and game plan for the Cardinals, but they barely practiced

during the bye week.

IMO A change in coaching is needed. Bill Parcells is

determined, and he can be a taskmaster. The panthers need

a coach like him. Someone who believes in hard work

and knows how to win.

    • What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
