EDIT: Make sure to check out new developments in the Fire Fox/Hurney movement later in the thread starting at http://www.carolinahuddle.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2194656&postcount=185. Thanks!

Panther fans, lend me your ears. Through the incompetence of John Fox and Marty Hurney, the energy has been sucked out of this franchise. 2009 has seen one of the most embarrassing playoff losses in NFL history, a winless preseason, and two ugly losses to start the season. We've been outscored by 36 points this season, currently the most in the league. The decision to trade away next year's first-round pick for a rotational defensive end, the decision to tag Julius Peppers for $16 million+ this season, the decision to give a 34-year-old quarterback coming off the worst postseason performance in league history for a quarterback a $20 million extension, the decision to not add a SINGLE free agent to shore up any position on the team, the decision to not even attempt to find an heir apparent for Jake Delhomme.........these have GUTTED this franchise.

Their time has come and gone. John Fox and Marty Hurney have been joined at the hip since 2002 when Fox became head coach and Hurney became general manager. Yes, under their guidance, this team has had some success. But their time has past.

The quarterback position is a wreck. There STILL isn't a receiver they've found that can play besides 89 and Moose. Offensive line depth is non-existent. The defense is atrocious with not a single quality player to be found on the defensive line other than Mr. Million Dollar Quarterback Hurry Julius Peppers. Other than Beason and TD, there isn't a serviceable linebacker on the team. The safeties continue to beabominable...in fact, there hasn't been a quality safety on this team under Fox and Hurney since the days when Mike Minter was still a good player. The special teams has been a disaster for years with the returners going to random players and the coverage teams being god-awful.

It has gotten back to that ugly point in 2001 where you're mocked if you wear Panthers memorabilia out in public in the CITY OF CHARLOTTE HOME OF THE TEAM.

This hasn't just been a 2009 issue. Questionable decisions have been made in the GM and coaching spots for years. Not resigning Will Witherspoon. Not drafting Joe Flacco and numerous other quarterbacks that are better than Jake Delhomme. The mostly laughable draft history since 2002. The signing of David Carr. The numerous fantastic free agents they've passed on throughout the years. The lack of halftime adjustments. Not letting players tip their hand as to what an offensive play is going to be before the snap. The same old, vanilla and conservative play-style that has driven Panther fans insane for years. To top it off, we've never had back-to-back winning seasons much less back-to-back playoff appearances and it appears like that will continue this year.

The Richardson brothers were dismissed to have a clean start in the front office. We, the good people of the Carolina Huddle, are in agreement that there should be a clean start at the GM and coaching positions.

FIRE JOHN FOX AND MARTY HURNEY!

Think about how many picks we've made since 2002 and we only have Gross, Wharton, Otah, Kalil, DWill, JStew, Beason and T Davis to show for it. The rest of our picks are no longer with the team, are merely decent or the jury is still out on. They've found an average of one great player per draft. Is that really that impressive?

Oh and I forgot Peppers, Gamble, and Marshall. 12 great players in 8 drafts. The list of busts is much, much longer even still.

Yes, you look at what the problem is. The Panthers are like your local shitty Burger King down the road with the horrible manager that doesn't care about his job. The problem is with the management.

If I failed to make adjustments to what was happening, was stubborn to any change at all, and didn't do well every other year I'm pretty fuging sure I'd lose my job.

      BREAKING:Panthers re-sign Chuba Hubbard

      By Ricky Spanish · Posted

      People comparing this deal to CMC, Williams, or Stewart is laughable, and I'll break the numbers down as to why: In 2020 We made CMC the highest paid RB ever. We gave him a $64 million over 4 years with $38 million guaranteed. That's $16 million on average. In 2011 we extended Williams, then in 2012 we extended Stewart. These extensions were 12 and 13 years ago: Williams - 5 years, $43 Million, $25 Million Guaranteed, Average of $8.6 Million per year Stewart - 5 years, $36 Million, $23 Million Guaranteed, Average of $7.3 Million per year Let me do the math for you: The Salary Cap in 2020 when we Signed CMC was $198.2 Million. CMC accounted for 8% of our total cap that season. The Salary Cap in 2012, when we had both Williams and Stewart under contract, was $120.6 Million. Those two combined to take up 13.1% of our total cap that season. Without the cap going up next season (and it will) Chuba is taking up 3.2% of our total cap. That's it. Not only are we paying Chuba HALF of what we were paying CMC per year, and LESS than what we paid Williams over a decade ago, shows how much less significant the contract extension is compared to those other moves. I really am not following how people are calling this contract a "big" money contract on a running back and a waste of cap space. This is a solid starting RB contract in the modern NFL.

      Brian Burns Revenge Game

      Yeah Brown was shown to be a lot more important even in his second year

      Brian Burns Revenge Game

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      I remember some of those poor showings by Peppers but even in those times I don't feel like Brian Burns would be anywhere close to his level. Peppers was better than Burns in every way. I've never seen Burns even once show that he could take an entire game over and severely affect the outcome and for the money he wanted I sort of expect him to have that Peppers ability. I know our defense is weak now but I'm still glad he is gone and so happy we didn't pay him that monstrous contract he wanted.
