Peppers, Gross, and Fox

ALL NEED TO STAY!! The two players are a given to most Panther fans but I'm hearing a ton of "fire Fox" flying around here. Am I happy that we layed an egg last night?? No...but firing a coach that just led us to 12 wins, the #2 seed in the playoffs, and rebuilt our running game is not the answer. He needs to stop being so damn loyal to Trgocrap and get someone in here who is going to fully utilize all the damn 1st rounders on that side of the ball.

Change needs to happen and I guess if firing Fox is the only way to fire Trgocrap then so be it but if there is anyway to retain Fox and get rid of Delhomme and Turdovac then that is the way it needs to be done.

As long as Fox stays, Trgo willl stay unless someone above him in the organization demands otherwise. This may give Peppers reason to consider other options in FA; he and the other defensive players can't be happy with the defensive schemes and playcalling. We may not have much choice but to resign Gross just to keep continuity on the OL.

I agree with the Fox needs to go talk. He is the ring leader of the stupid assistant coaches club. He is and always will be loyal to Turdo and company. The root of the problem is Fox, not Turdo, not Davidson, and not Jake. Fox only sells Vanilla and if vanilla doesnt work then your SOL.

I'm new here but I'm a Carolina Panther's fan. I was mad at Fox last night because any quarterback can have a bad game. I was mad that we continued to reinforce failure by allowing Jake to throw the ball. IMO, we should have forced the Cards to stop our run game with Williams, Stewart, and Hoover pounding the ball then switch to hitting quick outs to keep them honest. I think Jake, having played second fiddle to Warner in the past, tried to "keep up" with Kurt when he was stripped on the ball (btw, that was a honest good defensive play for the cards) and we all know that Jake is not Kurt Warner. Jake then forced too many throws and it cost us the game. Our defense was placed in horrible field positions due to the turnovers on Jake behalf and I can't rightly blame them when the Cards have a good offense. By halftime our defense had played 2/3s of the time. I saw these when we played New York and we put 6 dbs on the field in OT (Ward ran down to the ten or seven yardline) when Jacobs and Ward were bleeding us out with their running. Jake got us this far and I for one was content to not bitch about him then. I think some new assistants should be brought in but Fox is a good coach. He needs to learn from this.

I agree with keeping Fox too, but the rest of the coaching staff definitely needs to be re-evaluated and shaken up. Special teams was great this year, but the defense needs some serious work.

Agree.

BUT

The question is.. Will anything change if Fox is staying.

We let go an Offensive Coordinator, who by the way, turned around and did pretty good for a Miami team that was horrid last year.

We are know talking about letting go of a D-Coordinator, who probably never should have been D-Coordinator to begin with when there were certainly other, better candidates.

At what point, in replacing a coaching staff, or having that discussion, does the finger not turn to the headcoach?

It is a non-sequitor to me. The buck stops with the head coach.

If Fox changes his cronies out and gets a decent D-coordinator, my opinion changes; but, mark my words, there will be no changes by Fox unless he is 'forced' to do it.

..and this coming season, the schedule is much harder, 8-8 or worse, coming up as we do not have the draft choices for any impact players or salary cap room for free agents.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
