This was really just a preemptive thread so I could be the one to say "I told you so."

I think the players (that matter) want this to happen sooner rather than later, and I'd let the axe fall now to get an official head start on the future.

If it were me, I'd want to do something to appease the guys out there actually killing themselves trying to win with a crappy game plan. It is no secret now, publicly, that those guys are the ones with better shots of being Panthers once the season is done anyways. Why not make an attempt to show them that, as an owner, you hear and understand the signals they are sending?

Can't get much of a head start with no GM and no ability to interview candidates.

Where there is a will there is a way.

You want to task Danny Morrison with the job of finding a GM and head coach at the same time?

And then you want to tell the new GM that he doesn't get to do the work of picking his head coach because we already picked one for him?

Neither of those things will work.

I'm in the "hire Cowher" camp at this point, not because I think he's the greatest HC of all time - but because I think our next HC needs to have significant experience as a HC.

Part of our problem these past few years is that we've been mixing inexperience with inexperience... inexperienced HC (Rivera) coming out of a lockout with an inexperienced QB (Cam) and a good number of inexperienced players on defense, etc.

This is a talented but inexperienced team, we need an experienced HC to guide them.

      Nice to win, but Tim Weaver of SI has key duds among the studs

      It is hard to win in the NFL. I’m never going to put an * next to a Dub.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      We had a very favorable matchup our o-line manhandles theirs. Even Etienne looked like he would have had a great game on his limited rushing opportunities.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I think that's part of the problem, he's spreading the ball around too much, many of them are the first read play calls, and on top of that, a large portion of them are purposefully called screens or other short passes. I just looked, the Cardinals are the only other team in the league right now without at least 3 players with 100+ yards receiving so far this year, with the majority of teams having 4 or more.  And even then, their #2 right now is McBride with over 200 yards. Our 2nd leading receiver this year has 108 yards (albeit with 4 more players with 82 or more). On the surface, that might not be as alarming as you might think, but when you add into it that Bryce is currently 6th in the league in pass attempts, and it's even more alarming that he hasn't gotten a 3rd player to 100 yards so far and his second highest is only 108. XL has 39 yards on 18 targets.  Renfrow has 82 yards on 24 targets.  Tremble has 87 on 16 targets.  Sanders has 92 on 14 targets. None of those are good enough, so why aren't we calling more plays with T-Mac as the first read and forcing the ball to him (and again, that's not me wanting my guy to get more targets, that's me wanting more targets for the only productive pass catcher so far this year, I'd feel the same no matter what that player's name was). All of this is why I have issues with Canales' play calling.  How do you have a player who had 73 yards in the first half and then you only give him 1 target in the 2nd half despite playing from behind the majority of that time? You can be happy about the win, happy about Dowdle getting 200 yards, but in a game where your QB threw it 30 times, I can't accept the above sentence in the same breath, that's just terrible play calling, which is on top of the already predictable play calling in general, which is also on top of boring play designs as well. Add it all up, and THAT is why I'm unhappy even after a win, not because "my guy" didn't have a bigger game.
