Should the Panthers learn from the Bucs or the Broncos?

Two teams with long tenured Superbowl winning coaches, both fired after late season collapses by their respective teams. Both hire a young, inexperienced coach. One is 6-0, the other 0-6.

So, should the Panthers fire their long tenured, Superbowl losing coach, if he doesn't lead the team back to the playoffs this season? Or does management believe his hunger for a Lombardi Trophy is still strong enough to warrant another season?

I think what the Panthers do around the trade deadline will say alot about where their thoughts on the state of the team lie. I wouldn't believe Peppers or Smith will be traded. If they are, they had better get huge value in return, immediately, or else they are basically scraping the team for parts. If anything, trade for a QB. Delhomme is struggling, and bringing in a starting caliber QB behind him will either light his fire again, or else there is a capable backup waiting in the wings.

But back to the main point, if the Panthers struggle this year and miss the playoffs, do they A) Fire John Fox in favor of a new regime? or B) Keep their long tenured head coach and give him another chance?

don't forget how genius that Cutler trade is looking. They have 2 first round picks coming, have an awesome Defensive Secondary and OLine, good RB, great WR.

Denver is going to be great the next several years. Wonder if they try to draft one of the QB's coming out next yr, even with Orton doing well?

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
