blame the officers, not the soldiers

this is the oldest damn refrain in the world and goes back to the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest.

In football terms, it usually manifests as "you can't fire the players."

stop pretending that the Panthers are a super bowl winner with just five new white dudes in head sets. It's the easy way out. the optimistic way out. In many ways, the cowards way out.

embrace the shittiness. Revel in it. Make it yours.

but stop pretending one man can fix everything right away.

sweet got any more useless platitudes i want to start my new bumper sticker business

it is the truth. Replace Fox w/ a good head coach and the change will be significant. Fox has always been a DC pretending to be a HC. It has caught up to him.

A HC that gives a damn could fix this team.

Fox was cracking jokes and laughing at them in his post-game press conference - that shows you where his head is at... he's checked out and could give a f**k at this point.

Of all the cost-saving measures, keeping a lame duck HC around is the one that bothers me the most, because it has poisoned the entire team.

new HC and coaching staff that doesn't suck

a GM that doesn't suck

an Oline that doesn't suck/get hurt all the time/doesn't take half a season to gel

DEs capable of a pass rush

DTs that don't suck

a secondary that doesn't suck

WR corps that aren't too old or who don't suck

a QB who doesn't suck.

these few things might make the team suck less. fixing just a couple of them won't turn things around. good thing we don't have (m)any huge long term contracts left.

team can actually rebuild after this year. hopefully it won't be anther crappy underachieving team.

    • Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.  
    • I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.  
    • Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
