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.

    • I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.
    • Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.
    • The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
