He inherited a 1-15 team, and it appears he is intent on leaving one for the next guy.

Delhomme, Peppers, Harris, Hoover, Diggs, Kemo, Lewis....this is what Seifert did before 2001, saying the Panthers were doomed to 7-9 seasons unless they went with a youth movement. He ditched Beuerlein and other vets, and when things went South, he had no one in his locker room to turn to.

Trading Harris makes NO sense.

Why would you assume Fox has anything to do with these personnel moves?

Seifert purged all our veterans because he couldn't coach them, they had seen through his B.S. he was hoping for a team of youngsters that wouldn't question him.

You seriously think Head Coach John Fox had no idea about releasing these players?

Get real man.

I know you were pretty high on Fox as a coach. Does this off-season change your viewpoint any?

Trading Harris makes perfect sense for a team who feels they have good young guys who can fill in there. Harris was kind of a liability in pass coverage as well. My only problem with the trade was I wish it happened before the draft though Williams seems like he will be a good fill in just in case Davis is still hurt.

Do you think Fox would stick around if he didn't have say in personnel moves? Especially with a team that hasn't renewed his contract?

I don't think he would. He'll have no problem finding work elsewhere.

in a way I feel the same way because Fox has got to have a say in trades, Hurney cant just go trading away players at will unless HE is the one wanting us to fail, but at the same time, if there is a lockout next year thats an extra year to build and get used to our new "youth movement" without having the losing season to go with it. not to say I think we r going to lose but it's a possibility when you take team chemistry away u lose alot of respect in the locker room. Personally I think we are good for 10+ wins, we do have a very easy schedule

JR may be behind all this

Fox has turned over his coaching staff in last 3 seasons

Now all his vet players are being turned over

If the team still can't get it together

That only leaves one equation left from the orginal problem:smash:

All the cards have been dealt

As a coach on the field, his record speaks for itself. I shouldn't have named this thread for Fox. It's the whole organization doing this. I just don't see what their vision is. Spending the whole offseason building up Moore, then drafting two of the top QBs. Purging veterans left and right. It works for New England because they have Brady to fall back on. But this reeks of a fire sale setting themselves up for high picks and money to spend on them. The fans are footing the bill, though.

      Dane Brugler from The Athletic 2-round cock draft

      I have considered free agency.  LT?  Either not good enough or too expensive.  Besides, this is a good OT draft.  (I would rather have a free agent, mind you, but the Panthers' reality suggests we can't do it without neglecting other positions).  What LTs are available in free agency, and what do you expect to pay?  Any Ickey-level OT is going to cost over $20m.   How much do we already have invested in our OL?  I get your point, but I do not think you can spend over $100m per on your OL. We have 2 guards and a center who pull in about $75m per season.  We don't have a center yet.  Teams just don't let good LTs hit free agency, and when one does on rare occasion, he is expensive.  If you want a third of the Panther cap going to 5 Offensive Linemen, free agency is the way to go.  We still need S, ILB, Edge, WR, etc. I think we'd need more than Nijman--and I would understand if we went free agent for a T--but that is putting a TON of your cap at OL--so considering our situation, I do not see that option as preferable.  You may disagree. If I was not talking LT on our line and thinking about the cap, I would agree 100%.

      Will be interesting to see how they come out tonight. The Boston game seemed to open the flood gates of media attention. And it’s not just that they’re playing well, in some instances they are getting compared with all time greats. This is still a young team, and it would be easy for an immature team to lose some focus, buy into their own hype, and think they can coast bit. The Heat are a middle of the road team without their leading scorer. There is no big dragon to slay, no big statement to make. I think we’ll learn a lot tonight: are they young but mature, or do they still have a ways to go mentally?

      DJ Moore traded again

      Panthers North for the win. Good luck to him. Great guy, hated to see him leave here, but he's about to work with the best QB he's ever worked with (at least on a regular basis).
