Will we ever have back to back winning seasons under John Fox?


Recommended Posts

I'm hoping the law of averages is finally on our side in this one. As is pointed out, we've never, ever, under any coach, had back-to-back successful seasons as far as contending for the playoffs. We have many returning starters this year. If we can't make that happen this year, we probably never will under Fox.

But despite the Panthers picking “a bad day to have a bad day,” as Fox put it after that Jan. 10 massacre, the expectations are high for this season.

“I don’t see why we should lower them from last year,” said running back Jonathan Stewart. “When our name’s called, we just have to play ball. I think me and DeAngelo (Williams) are capable of much more next year, running the ball and catching the ball. This offense, and this team in general, is hungry from last year.”

    • Yeah, I wasn't a fan of the contract. IMO, he's a borderline top 10 type of CB when healthy and he's missed damn near half of the games in his career. I hope it proves to be the correct decision but damn... it's a really tough sell to convince me that making him the NFL's highest paid DB is a wise move.
    • The draft isn't a vending machine where you insert a pick, press A3, and out pops a franchise cornerstone. It’s more like a gacha game - you turn in a premium (or non-premium) ticket, hear the fun little jingle, and wait to see what you pulled... without knowing how strong it'll actually end up. League-wide, the average draft hits on about 30 - 40% of its picks when teams have a standard seven selections. So if you walk away with 3 - 4 real contributors... that's considered a solid class. Hitting on 4 out of 11 is right in that range. To be clear: this isn't some veiled endorsement of Tepper, Fitterer, or Rhule. It’s simply an honest accounting of which players from that class are still with the Panthers and heading into their fourth year - and thus outlasting the average NFL career. Just trying to lean more toward more critiquing with clarity rather than lighting it all on fire for the spectacle of the flames.
    • Please do not forget that everything the NFL does is for the increase in revenue. If a big market team draws more money [ticket sales, betting revenue, TV ratings & etc.] when they play at home versus on the road in the playoffs, you can safely be sure the NFL knows & will act accordingly. Just like the draft lottery proposal, if the NFL can capture TV ratings for it, they will.
