so i decided to look through my collection of the Panthers ROAR magazine. I figured I had to have something in there that I could read and chear me up. Well I found the special 2003 Super Bowl edition magazine, and at the end there is an interview with Hurney and Fox. One of the questions in the interview ask them if they are going to be active in the offseason since they have a decent team and just made the Super Bowl. They both were quoted on saying that their favorite quote is, "If you are not getting better you are getting worse."

So my question to you Hurney, Fox, and the rest of Panthers Nation, in what way have we gotten better by releasing Diggs and Lewis. By not retaining Peppers, Brayton, or Lloyd? Its funny how there just jumping away from their philosophy this offseason of building their team through the offensive and defensive lines. But no I do not blame Hurney nor Fox, I blame the "Big Cat". The beloved Charlotte icon who is putting his bank account and the NFL before the team. If he considers this a wash season, shouldnt the Panther fans do the same and not show up to games, not spend any money on concessions or anything else. It is not like the "Big Cat" will be losing money anway since hes gonna take the 20 mil he saved on Pep and put i right into his bank account.

Maybe if our fans actually make a statement and do not show up to games this year they will be forced to go out and try to improve the team kind of like the Jaguars did. Please sell the team "Big Cat" your a disgrace.

there is simply no way w/ Fox in a lame duck year that Fox/Hurney have the freedom to go out and try to field a team they think can win this year......it is all prep work for post Fox. Fox knows it and accepts it, he will try to win with what he is given.

I am really not trying to come off as this whiny negative fan, but dont you guys not find this to be unacceptable. Believe me I have experience with rooting for terrible team as I am a Mets, Knicks, and Rangers fan as well. So I am not use to success. I just do not think it is fair to the fans in anyway to just have a throw away season, ecspecially with the talent on this team.

This is the natural cycle of things. They aren't going to be allowed to make long term decisions since they may not be around for much longer. Some of these decisions are pure business and not really football based. We have a solid group of guys to build around and like someone previously said we are setting up for the future. You have to understand that sometimes you sacrifice the short term for long term!

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
