Food For Thought

As I haven't been around the Huddle very long, it wouldn't surprise me to have someone inform me in this thread that the topic has been discussed, but just in case...

Assuming the Panthers don't make some miraculous and improbably run to the Super Bowl, it is pretty much understood John Fox and his staff won't be around next season. Now surely we all have our ideas and thoughts of who JR would bring in to coach, but what about some changes to the team other than just coaching?

A new philosophy on offense and defense I am sure will be introduced which will throw a few positions into chaos (see Linebackers should we move to a 3-4 Defense). On offense, our zone running game could be in question...so what should we expect from the ground game? I'm fairly confident not much would change in that regard as any coach with a brain would see if it isn't broke, don't fix it.

As well as on the field changes would most certainly be made, how about a complete revamp of the attitude of the Panthers? I point towards uniforms. I love our uniforms, I see nothing wrong with leaving them as is...but just for the sake of trying something new in a time of change...why not throw a new wrinkle into the mix? It has been long discussed around the "interwebz" by fans all-around...how about black pants? Sort of go for an all-black uniform. That way when Al Davis sees the Panthers on Sportscenter he doesn't have a coronary.

Also as tough as it was to get Jerry Richardson to even so much as place team logos on the field on each side, what does one have to do to get the team logo at the 50? Sure we can continue to pay homage to the NFL as they truly have given this region a gift...but it is time for the Panthers to flex their feathers like a Peacock in some way or form.

Any other thoughts I may have missed? I'm quite sure I missed something.

    • They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.   
    • There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
    • I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
