Change the coaches and change the players every 2-3 years. Have an owner who tells the fans the teams the greatest thing on earth. Hows that working out for Dallas. All I know FORE SURE is after I set thur the 1-15 2001 season, John Fox And Jake have taken us to three playoff seasons and two NFC championships and one superbowl..So in 2008 we go 12-4 and have one very bad loss in the playoffs and most the folks on this board want to be like Dallas and just start over.

How many of you complainers bought a David Carr jersey ?

Ummm...our defense sucks with a ton of talent. Fix the defense and you won't hear a peep out of me. Jake is 100% the QB for next year there is no doubt in my mind and I'm not mad about it but the defense has got to be fixed. Someone on this board said that if we got long term deals done with Peppers and Gross then the complainers would be happy...I also believe that to be true.

To be honest most people are not complaining and are being pretty rational. They are questioning the same things every pundit, critic and announcer is wondering, if everyone is wondering it then there must be cause for it.

Fox has done great for us and he will be here next season, but somewhere along the line his philosophy has changed somewhat, especially defensive. This team is not like the ones in prior years. This team was a TD scoring machine and had huge problems defensively, just the offense bailed them out so many times.

Plus Fox has been with us for 6 years and Trgovac 7, with 5 as DC. I agree continuity is the key to success, but only if there are not fundamental flaws with what is happening in the philosophy.

Status quo won't work. You ALWAYS evaluate at the end of the year and see where you make changes.

Thats why there is a draft and Free Agency and you can trade.

SOMETHING does need to change. If you don't think so can I have your PIN# to your checking acct?

I don't think the defensive philosophy has had any major change, I just think the weakness at DT really reared its ugly head.

Im not a fan of Trgo at all, and havent been for several years. I do think the defense would be much better though with a couple upgrades at DT.

I certainly think Fox should return. I can live with Jake starting next year. But if this team doesn't take some important steps to improve our defense, I will have lost a lot of faith in our team's chances to do deep in the playoffs. The problems with the defense are correctable, though, so that's a positive. :D

The defensive philosophy has changed. The Panthers were a major bump and run team with physical DBs in the Super Bowl season. It is pretty hard to play that style when your CBs line up 7-10 yards off the ball.

The major bump and run stuff ended in 2004 because of changes in the rules byt the NFL.

I am well aware of the changes. However, a DB can still jam a WR within five yards of the line of scrimmage. Again, it is hard to do that when you line up 7-10 yards off the ball.

oddly enough if you payed attention to the last game they played up on the wr's quite a bit, much more than they have the rest of the season. It really doesnt matter when you can't get enough pressure on the QB.

Our secondary this year was better than the 03 secondary. The big difference was on the DL.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
