I don't think he can win us a SB, not even a NFC chap any more.

I've been thinking that Fox has reached his ceiling of success for the past 2 years. It's clear that his conservative philosophy will only get us so far and will not produce a consistent winner. This should be a very interesting offseason, but I don't foresee the necessary changes to make us more than above average at this point.

What Fox has going for him is that there are plenty of franchises out there that have had it far worse than us. He keeps the Panthers competitive and in the hunt. We have to live with the occasional egg on our face and not having a championship, yet.

I only wish to see a more agressive team. More agression on D and O. We seem so passive compared to Pitt, Baltimore, Indy, etc, etc, etc.....I an envious of those teams that just "Bring It"

I was thinking something the other day:

Fox is a GREAT coach for what he is. He is what he is. I am convinced his style is much more oriented on finding a lot of talent, rebounding a team, and making them playoff caliber. He is not the best coach for team motivation and gameplan, but can build up a pretty damn good squad of players. He is a "turn around" coach. Not meaning to compare, but he is a similar type to that of a Bill Parcells minus 2 Super Bowls.

A team like the Texans, Bills, Packers, or Broncos could use Fox, we need a guy who can go out consistently every Sunday with a staff and team he picked and get decisive wins on our way to the Super Bowl. This year was our best opportunity to do so under Fox and I just don't see us recovering immediately...something needs to be done.

I try :)

My only issues with Fox is that he puts too much faith in and feels like he's obligated to the players even those who underperform. Ken Lucas should have been benched on more than 1 occassion. Tommy John Jake needs to be gone next year along with Mikey T our defensive Co. that will be the focal point for me having faith in John Fox.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
