Let's say that Fox sticks around another ten years before deciding to retire. (I know, I know, just let me finish.) Let's say that he finishes with the following records in the next ten seasons:

2009: 6-10

2010: 10-6

2011: 9-7 (first round wild card playoff exit)

2013: 5-11

2014: 7-9

2015: 11-5 (NFC Championship Game loss)

2016: 8-8

2017: 7-9

2018: 9-7

2019: 9-7

If you were the owner and you somehow knew without a shadow of a doubt that these would be your yearly finishes for the next ten years with Coach John Fox, would you fire him at the end of this season or would you be satisfied with those finishes?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Sam Mills Fan is not a fan of John Fox.

But it's just a guess and has nothing to do will his other 3000 posts complaining about Fox.

I would stick it out just for 2019. Consecutive winning seasons? What a great time to be a Panthers fan.

*fingers crossed*

On a serious note, I don't know if many owners would be content knowing that their current coach would not take them to a Super Bowl. Isn't that sort of the point of it all?

You must have missed the 2010/2011 prognostications. A 10-6 followed by a 9-7? Hell yeah.

BTW @ Sam Mills Fan: how come no playoff mention in 2010?

And for the original question, that is hardly a cellar dweller record for a decades worth of football. I'll take it, but hope for better.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      So answer the question. Why did Chark and Hurst have the same metrics (go look them up, I did... and one was actually worse in LA) with Justin Herbert? Why did Mingo have the same metrics with Dak? You're right, there is a common denominator, just not the one you're trying to make.  Why could DJ Moore get open with Bridgewater, Allen, Cam 2.0, Darnold, Baker, Williams, Bagent? I'll answer the question for you - because he is a good WR unlike Chark/Hurst/Mingo.

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.
