What happens to Panthers Players With A HC Change?

These are some Panthers that should benifit from a coaching change, and some that would not,in my opinion.

For some Panthers players the hand writing is on the wall, and they should hope for a coaching change, in order to save their careers. Here are a few:

(1) Matt Moore - Maybe, or maybe not, at least he has an NFL job now. What's the old saying, "It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt". It seems that Moore will never get a chance to be a starting QB for the Panthers under Fox, but he at least has a backup QB job, and that's better than just hopping to hook on with another team as their Practice Squad QB.

(2) Mike Goodson - He hasn't played RB after an early season fumble, and has now lost the kick return job to Tyrell Sutton (who plays much faster than his 40 time), as well as the #3 RB job. Not a lot of teams carry 4 RB's on their roster, so this isn't a good sign for his future.

(3) Hilee Taylor - He's been inactive all season, and when DE's Peppers and Johnson are both injured, and he still remains inactive, that's a very bad sign for his future with the Panthers.

(4) Kenneth Moore - Your inactive (but uninjured), in favor of a WR just activated from the Practice Squad, that's not a good sign for your long term future with the team.

(5) Garry Williams - Your a LT, one of 2 backup OT's on the roster all season, and when the LT is injured, you get passed over to move the LG to LT (inserting a G/C as his replacement). That can't be a good sign, is the Practice Squad, or the waiver wire your next move?

(6) All The TE's - Only 6th because their jobs aren't in danger. Fox only values (uses) TE's for their blocking, maybe a new Head Coach would actually use them in the passing game.

(7) Steve Smith - Like the TE's, his job isn't in danger, but his production is. A coaching change might mean a new QB, and a new focus on the passing game.

(8) Dan Connor - Under Fox he's viewed only as a MLB, which with Beason means your only a special teams player.

Some Players Who Don't Hope For A Coaching Change:

(1) Jake Delhomme - Hands down #1, no surprise here, if Fox goes, Jake goes.

(2) Muhsin Muhammad - Fox values a WR's blocking far more than their pass catching. If Fox stays, then Moose might as well.

(3) Julius Peppers - Fox loves Peppers, and want's him at any price.

(4) Nick Hayden - Without Fox, he has no job.

(5) Dwayne Jarrett - A new coach, with nothing invested in Jarrett, may cut him in favor of a WR with more speed.

(6) John Kasey & Rhys Lloyd - A new coach may want 1 kicker that can do both jobs.

(7) Other Starters - Under a new coach, many starting jobs that are set under Fox, may well be up for grabs.

(2) Mike Goodson - He hasn't played RB after an early season fumble, and has now lost the kick return job to Tyrell Sutton (who plays much faster than his 40 time), as well as the #3 RB job. Not a lot of teams carry 4 RB's on their roster, so this isn't a good sign for his future.

Nothing for him to worry about; he'll get a position somewhere if not here.

(6) All The TE's - Only 6th because their jobs aren't in danger. Fox only values (uses) TE's for their blocking, maybe a new Head Coach would actually use them in the passing game.

They actually get used quite a bit.

(7) Steve Smith - Like the TE's, his job isn't in danger, but his production is. A coaching change might mean a new QB, and a new focus on the passing game.

I think he wants to win more than he wants the ball. He just thinks that if he is given the ball, he can help the team win.

(8) Dan Connor - Under Fox he's viewed only as a MLB, which with Beason means your only a special teams player.

I think this is the best point you bring up. See how he does in Digg's place.

Some Players Who Don't Hope For A Coaching Change:

(1) Jake Delhomme - Hands down #1, no surprise here, if Fox goes, Jake goes.

Actually, they would probably keep him for another season if they are still trying to find the "right QB" near the beginning of the next season.

(2) Muhsin Muhammad - Fox values a WR's blocking far more than their pass catching. If Fox stays, then Moose might as well.

Moose comes up with plenty of big plays.

(3) Julius Peppers - Fox loves Peppers, and want's him at any price.

I don't think that's necessarily true. Peppers staying/going will depend on Peppers, no more, no less.

(5) Dwayne Jarrett - A new coach, with nothing invested in Jarrett, may cut him in favor of a WR with more speed.

I think they would keep him for at least one season to see how he works out in their scheme.

(6) John Kasey & Rhys Lloyd - A new coach may want 1 kicker that can do both jobs.

Kasay would retire if they gave him up and he would be viewed as the greatest player in Panther's history (seeing as... he's been here the whole time). Llyod puts a ton of his kicks all the way into the endzone; an important trait. I don't think they are necessarily at risk.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
