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?

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
