Good article from Yahoo!

“He’s an older version of us,” receiver Muhsin Muhammad said. “You always see him in the locker room. He’s on about five cups of coffee before everybody gets here in the morning. He’s always enthusiastic and energetic. That’s just the way he is and I think that resonates.”

Fox may be a players’ coach, but he’s no pushover. He rarely yells in practice, but there is little downtime. While many teams put their practice pads away sometime in October, the Panthers worked out in full pads Tuesday.

Players believe Fox has a knack for knowing just how to motivate. He’s constantly asking veterans for the mood of the team. He invites competition, having the starters from both sides of the ball play against each other for portions of practice, a rare tactic for NFL teams.

“I think it’s a great drill that Fox came up with,” Muhammad said. “For one segment of practice we’re not going against a look team or some guys who are just trying to provide a look that the other team does. … It really simulates what a game is going to be like.”

Richardson met with Fox and general manager Marty Hurney late last season and told them their jobs were safe. But he also indicated it was time to turn things around. The Panthers spent the offseason overhauling the offensive line and backfield to get back to the run-first, physical style Fox craves.

There's more to read. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-panthers-playofffox&prov=ap&type=lgns

      I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
