You guys need to bust balls for a change during Fox's monday press conference. Coaching, playcalling, and just retarded logic has been going on far to long and the blame is always deflected to players. The biggest problem is the boob on the sideline and the boob up in the booth calling plays.

Fox won't be around next year to prevent access or whatever b/c he gets his feelings hurt. Real media wouldn't let Fox and company off the hook at this point.

They won't...they rarely ever speak out against the team.

And for good reason -- that's not their job. They definitely don't need to be "forcing a change."

Granted, they could ask questions regarding how effective the playcalling was, but I'll be honest: I don't think the playcalling is as much an issue as many here think. And this is coming from a guy who was absolutely disgusted with the playcalling in our first game.

But in the game against Tampa as well as yesterday's game, I actually thought the playcalling was fine. We made an effort to get the ball out to the runningbacks and tightends, which is what many of us here were clamoring for.

Right now, the problem is execution -- not playcalling.

bottom line is they set the players up for failure and then blame it on execution.

In the NFL you can't run the same formation/plays for consecutive years while tipping off all your runs and expect players to execute on offense.

their job is objective reporting. They aren't employed by the Panthers. From Dwayne Jarrett wasting a roster spot, to the best player (and it ain't Steve) being underused, etc. (I could go on and on and on)......bs cliche lines at some point can't be taken from Fox with so little fight given back.

I want to know what it accomplishes. Nothing is a secret. Is he supposed to care what any of those three say?

The press is "supposed" to be on the side of the reader. They are our eyes and ears and are supposed to represent us when they do interviews or ask questions. That is why they where created.

Correctamundo! Start calling out people and holding someone accountable and Jerry Richardson has the ability to effectively blackball a reporter and deny them any access to the team.

And don't think for a minute he wouldn't do it.

small market fear.

Jerry can't do that and they should call his bluff. If he started doing that then the national media would jump all over him blackballing all media. It would blowup in his face. Legit media ain't scared. That is why when there is stupidity in Washington or Dallas.....the media simply do there job locally and nationally.

Imagine if another team was doing what Richardson is doing?

      You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold

      Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
