I never really thought I would see a John Fox team do this

When Fox came to Carolina he was all about getting everything out of a player he could. You didnt have to be talented you just had to show hart and play hard. Put yourself on the line and just hit someone. Be nasty and be in the right spot.

All Fox asked of his offense was to take on the nastiness of his defense play hard and give your all while leaning on teams till they broke. The run game was a must and if that didnt work we used some more run game. Our QB was asked to manage a game not to win it and when the opportunity presented it self to throw the long ball.

This was a John Fox football team

Now flash forward to 2010

John Fox has a defense that is a quite bit more talented then the one he fielded in 2002 and has adopted the "It is what it is" philosophy. Our Defense is regularly out of place, and dose not keep its motor running the whole game. While its not all there fault because they do stay on the field most of the game they also have a horrible 3rd down % that has not been addressed for quite some time.

Now the even more shocking part starts. Not only dose our Offense have two stellar backs that are never used in a game. We are entering into a dangerous relation with what is called musical QBs. This offense is so backwards to the John Fox we once knew it should be called his Red headed bastard child(Sorry Gingers but its all your fault).

So yes this is your 2010 Carolina Panthers but the Fox team you have grown to love has checked out of Charlotte a long time ago.

I think you overrate Fox immensely.

I could be wrong.

I really dont. I think he was a damn good coach back then.

Now I think Damn why is he coach?

Fox is just a shell of what he once was. He is all what I hate about Fox with none of what I use to love. Fox dose not even believe in Foxball anymore. He just looks like a man that is waiting for a gallows.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
