The Sky Is Falling......

ya Delhomme is lookin pretty good. better whn our running game is back. Pep is Pep. He will bring it when he has to. No worries there. Schedule is tough, its our own division tht im worried about tho. only thing tht really concerns me is the D.

oh ya and that Fox needs to be replaced thread must be a joke...........right?

I'm not sure why everyone is down on Delhomme. He's one of the few starters who hasn't sucked this preseason. He's done just fine.

Exactly! Fox's system implements a top 5 D and a middle of the pack ball control run game O. Jake is doing exactly what our philosophy is and in fact is even asked to do more than he should be. Its completely fickle to want more from our Offense. Our D needs 90% of our attention and changes.

Our D has lost all identity and is embarrassing. We could revamp our D in an off season and have a super-bowl team. If We change QBs we take a huge risk and guarantee a rebuilding year to decade. Jake gets the ball to our stars and does his job well. Our D does not.

Fox is the root of this issue and it he is not the same coach that we saw in 02,03,04,and kinda 05.

What we need if we look like the last half of last season:

Fox gone,

HUNGRY D focused Coach,

New D coordinator who is a ball buster,

Revamped D line (ALL OF EM)

Revamped 2ndary (most of em)

Same O with some more depth - the O has proven it can be effective with the player we have.

Think about it this way: Our currentO is better than our 03 SB Offense and our current D is significantly worse than 03.

So why are we focused on Jake and not 2/3 of our D first?

    • I honestly didn't like trading up on the 2nd to draft a RB with a torn ACL. That didn't seem like a great move for this roster. But it wouldn't be a bad move if he proved to be a quality starter. But now signing Chuba to starter money on the hells of that? Yeah, that's significant roster building assets tied up in the RB position which has been a hallmark of the Panthers' roster building thought process over the years which has led to zero sustained success on the field.
    • But it's not a plug and play like teams were thinking.  Ask the Cowboys and the Bears thinking they were fine letting Montgomery walk.  Ask the Texans who had to trade for Mixon because their backfield held them back.  @Bear Handsbroke down the top running teams in the league and they have a very similar allocated of money/investments in the RB room.  It's a $15 million guaranteed contract over 4 years.  IF we are paying him the full 32 then he is playing very well and earning 8 plus million a year over 4 years.  I don't think we are doing the starter/backup scenario.  Our OC even said he has plays featuring both backs in the backfield.  We are trying to be a RB committee with a RB room that isn't that expensive compared to the league average.  IF Chuba plays to his top potential and we pay out all money he will average between Stevenson and Swift's average salary.  
    • I'm just reporting it, not getting excited.  That will no doubt go down with new contracts. But because we've been drafting so many busts, there's no one in house to extend lol.  Could be spent on a lot of known resources.
