Not trying to monopolize the board, just can't sleep tonight.

I asked Fox after the game what his team's identity was right now. And Fox - who has almost always answered that question with some variation of "We run the ball and stop the run" - instead said honestly that he didn't know.

Of course, it's not like Fox has only had two weeks to evaluate this team. He had a whole training camp, and he had to have known some of this was coming after Carolina didn't score an offensive touchdown all preseason. When the Panthers released Jake Delhomme - I wrote when it happened in March that was a big mistake and I still believe that now - the Panthers left themselves as the most inexperienced team in the NFL at the most important position.

Neither Moore nor Clausen distinguished themselves Sunday. At this point I'd start Clausen next Sunday, incidentally, because he at least gets rid of the ball a little quicker.

I asked linebacker and team leader Jon Beason what the team's identity was as well. Said Beason simply: "We don't have one."

That's a problem.

I agree with everything, including the Jake part. Wrong guy was let go, imo. Why is it taking so long for Fox to figure out who he has on this team? Why are the Panthers re-signing guys we waived like Lloyd, and C.J. Wilson(he was just re-signed this past Friday for those that don't know) instead of going for at least decent players but then released Jake instead of letting him stay as a back-up for Jimmy? Why do we pass 4 times with a QB like Moore on 4 and goal last week but run with a QB like Jimmy yesterday? Shouldn't that have been the exact opposite?

Why on God's earth would we resign player's who know the playbook after two players got hurt last week?!!!

Really? Lloyd needs to know the playbook?

That's a retarded mentality. Why don't every other team do that then? Why go after better players when they can all just re-sign their old players they cut? Give me a break.

If this isn't obvious signs of penny pinching, then I don't know what is.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
