This team dose not need to be rebuilt. It needs a competent Coaching staff. Yes we need some inside pressure and maybe a WR on the offensive side of the ball but thats far from needing to be rebuilt. Coaching is our main fault right now.

Its the Mangini Jets to the Rex Ryan Jets.

We have a rooke QB, 3 rookie WRs, and Steve Smith on offense. That is the passing game in 2010. That aspect of this team is being rebuilt. Fox is just a year delay in the rebuilding of the offense. Next year we will be doing something completely different on offense. We got the new parts this year.....next year the new parts will be running our new scheme. Jerry should have pulled trigger instead of being worried about paying the new guy heading into a lockout.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Panthers use their first pick on ANOTHER receiver. And I wouldn't be upset with that, honestly.

But I do like Gettis, a lot even. I hope he's kept active over Jarrett and Edwards.

If you give up on the team, good riddance, you're not a real fan anyway.

No offense dude but this is a B/S statement. I am a real fan who spends my hard earned money on tickets, merchandise, etc, for over 16 years and I am tired of this boring lifeless football. I will always be a fan of this team, but for you to make a statement that giving up on the team makes me "not a real fan" is garbage. The product that is on that field sucks, and Jerry Richardson has basically told us PSL owners, "Screw you, it's my team and I'm selling out because of the lock-out." This coaching staff should have been fired 2 seasons ago. It's time to dump this staff, bring in football people who know what the hell they're doing, and field a competitive team on a consistent basis. It can be done. Look at teams like the Patriots. They are there every year. It's because they have talented front office people in place. We have crap! Believe me, I am as big a Panthers fan as anyone. I'm just tired of the crap that we have been forced to support. The "Real" fans are tired of this s***!:mad:

Actually I think one of Fox's strong suits is that he gets the team to pull together down the stretch.

Anywho, those folks that keep talking about poor coaching really amaze me.

Was Fox a poor coach when he took a 1-15 team and turned it in to a contender?

Was Fox a poor coach when we went to the Superbowl?

Was Fox a poor coach a couple of years ago when we went 12-4?

Not saying I agree with all the moves and play calling and such, and I'm sure he will be gone after this year and it's probably for the best. Change is good sometimes.

But... listen carefully... Fox didn't fumble or throw and interception today. Take away our turnovers, and it's a whole new ball game. Actually, 3 new ball games if we're talking the whole season so far.

I would say from 2007 to present day Fox has been a different coach then early in his career here. It just hasn't been good. Now you can point to his 12 win season all you want.....but I would agree that was just mainly abusrd production from players who weren't always put in great scenarios. When Fox was asked to make adjustments and do some pretty basic coaching in 2008...he didn't do it. That is why they didn't win a single post season game.

Hey we started 0-3 last year, but for some reason I didn't feel as bad at that point. Our running game really needs to get going. Its clearly hurting us. I really didn't expect us to be this bad at this point in the season. I just pray Fox keeps Clausen as the starting qb. I don't care about a fumble on a wet day, and a forced INT to Smith in the endzone against one of the best corners in the league. Those won't last forever. But his zip on the ball, accuracy, and pocket presence all impressed me today.

As a pretty devoted fan I'm pretty disappointed, but I do think this team looks better every week.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      This is always a non-story by the time camp begins.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      By TD alt · Posted

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.

      overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
