Coach what is your thoughts about Julius Peppers?

Fox: Hes a great player and i look foward to seeing him at training camp

Do you anticipate him showing up on time?

Fox:Oh ya he knows the directions to Spartanburg by heart

Now you guys traded away your first round pick next year what does it say about the future of the franchise?

Fox: Well, really it just means that we're all in

How will your defense look with a new coordinator in place?

Fox: so far so good, but we'll know more when put some pads on and then thru the presason, but i honestly cant answer that question until after our season is over

Last question coach,what can we expect out of the Carolina Panthers this season,can you give us 1 good gurantee?

Were going to play at least 16 games this season

Then they went on to discuss Peppers, that there has to be something happening that no one knows about. And they mentioned Delhomme and their surprise that the Panthers resigned him after that playoff game and that there is no one behind him so he's the guy.

Yeah, Eisen was surprised there was no talk about the Panthers trying to get Cutler. Then in true Solomon Wilcots fashion, he piped in that the Panthers traded their first round pick for Jonathon Stewart!

At least someone was there to correct him, that they actually traded the first for Jeff Otah. Wilcots Rocks!

They gave up some bulletin board material for Matt Moore. lol Wilcots said he would've pulled Jake after 3 or 4 interceptions. Eisen said, "And who would they've put in? Matt Moore? HA HA"

Naw, Wilcots isn't rocking until he gets glasses that look good. He was very uncomfortable with those new ones that he has. They did not look good. :lol:

    • Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season 
    • I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.   
    • IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
