Doesn't this just feel like Fox is going to get a pass because of "all" the injuries we have had this season? What "injuries" are they really referring too? Kemo was a big one but we've had time to adjust, and now Leonard (who was playing well) is also out for the season which is another big blow. Chris Harris hasn't played yet which is tough but thats pretty much it. No one on offense has missed any serious game time. And no one on defense but the ones mentioned have either. I even heard Danny Crossman complaining about how the injuries have affected his personnel on SPECIAL TEAMS!!!

Normally I would be simpathetic to all this and would understandably give them a break but this team had its chance to get better and get deeper in the offseason and chose not to. Whether you wanna blaim Peppers or Hurney or Gross or Fox doesn't matter, its all bad management. We had an remarkable oppurtunity to make this team much better during the offseason. We were returning almost all our starters for crying out loud but we lost some key reserves. Reserves that are having to play in those injured spots and rookies who are having to play on special teams (and believe me, none of those guys were doing that in college).

I also would like to point out that if the Patriots can overcome Brady being injured in the first game of the season and still win 11 games then the whole injury excuse goes right out the window. Regardless of who is in there and who isn't we had a chance to improve the depth and didn't, now this FO and coaching staff will have to pay that price. Oh yeah and the fans as well. The Panthers have been outcoached and outmatched in 3 straight games, and for a team that was trying to gain respect around the league this embarrassing stretch of FO decisions doesn't look good.

No more excuses Fox, Crossman, and anyone else on that team (including players), we at the huddle want results!

Fox gets what he deserves. They had 2004 to go back and look at to remind them of what happens when you try to ride the previous seasons talent and NOT BRING IN ANYONE.

Then when players drop like flies- WATCH OUT....

Fox and Hurney are both to blame, not one FA signed, depth lacks, and we have LOST SEVEN (7) STRAIGHT GAMES

7 damn games

We were thin at DT last year.....and Carolina got lucky last season. Not only were we thin we were pretty average there to begin with. Fox doesn't get a pass when someone like Kemo goes down....he should be blamed for not addressing a weakness of last year.....probably the biggest one on defense.

      Brian Burns Revenge Game

      I sure do miss the days of having guys like Cam, Luke, Peppers, Olsen, Steve Smith etc who were faces of the franchise and could dominant games. I hope we can soon find and develop future faces of the franchise like the past guys and find a strong identity with some game changers on defense.

      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, the overall cap percentage 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.
