We're not winning more than 4 games, so I advise everybody to accept that now so it wont hurt as much

I thought we would go to the playoffs, 10-6. The losses we had thought otherwise. This isn't 04, where we had a fire leader in Jake and a great coach in Fox. Fox is a lame duck now, and him benching Matt after 2 single games showed that

I just said like last week after that benching that this team is going to explode sooner or later (Smitty). What Fox did showed a lot. He even played him AFTER an concussion. Thats not the Fox we all know. And if he has no control and just make random decisions like that, then the team will sooner or later get out of control. Only people wasn't surprised about the move was the fans and media, because yall started begging for it. It was not a good move period because Clausen is a rookie. This is NOT Vick/Kolb. Clausen is NOT Vick. Im not going to touch on Jerry, no need to

We got a lot of young talent that's not ready right now. Panthers are back to 2001. That Buc fan was right, lets keep it real. Prepare for a long and disheartening season

2001 was a better team. They could atleast score points.

Far better. We were competitive in almost every game. Which is why I never gave much credit to the turn around John Fox did here.

Was it a good job? Absolutely, but not as big as some make it out to be.

The 2001 team was also more enjoyable to watch, although far more hearbreaking cause they lost most of their games at the end of the game.

Yeah but it did build character for our team for 2002 and 2003.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
