I was looking at the Footballoutsiders.com and after 3 weeks, the Panthers rank 31st overall. They rank 31st on offense, 26th on defense and 31st on ST. Only Cleavland is playing worse than the Panthers right now. That got me thinking so I looked up the rankings for 2001-Seifert's last year.

They were ranked 26th overall: 31st on offense, 21st on defense and 3rd on ST. Numerically the numbers are:

-------------Total---OFF--DEF---ST

Fox 2009 -29.5, -34.6, 23.6, -7.9

Seifert 2001 -25.5, -29.6, -.09, 4.6

(Offensively, positive numbers are better; defensively, negative numbers are better; ST, positive is better)

So what does this mean--it means Seiferts 1-15 Panthers from 01 would more than likely beat Fox's 0-3 Panthers if they played today.

Of course these are just numbers but they do give an indication of just how badly the Panthers are playing right now.

This is what we fans have sunk to...comparing John Fox to George Siefert.

Actually, I only compared the 2001 team standings to the 2009 standings. As much as I am disappointed with the season, I still have an immense amount of respect for Fox and would never compare him to Seifert.

There is no doubt that the Panther's best years have been under Fox. He took the franchise from a state of ridicule to one of respectability. And regardless of how disappointing the season winds up, I will always have nothing but the utmost respect for him.

after seifert was let go i remember Richardson saying something in the press conference about how the team had lost its fire (not sure if that's the exact quote) and he hoped a change would give them a spark.

looking at this team so far. it seems the same thing may have happened again. i have a ton of respect for fox and I'm willing to bet hell have no trouble finding a new hc job. but i just dont think the team is buying into what hes selling anymore.

i realize a overhaul of the coaching staff isn't always the answer. and can set a team back. but it in this situation i feel its needed. this team needs a new attitude. someone to re-light the fire. and IMO a new coach with new ideas is what its gonna take.

      If Bryce doesn’t produce, we moving on?

      Bryce has to show significant improvement, even if we don't win. I don't understand not bringing in competition at the QB position. Dalton is not the answer if Bryce gets injured. We should always be trying to improve the QB room. There are multiple examples of backups that ended up being better than the starter following an injury. I don't think that this team is going to magically turn around with one of the worst defenses in the NFL returning, but with new faces.  The things I need to see. 1. Quick progressions and decisions for getting rid of the ball, whether that's to a receiver or sidelines.  2. Multiple long sustained drives every game 3. Confidence. We need that swag back. He was showing it at the end of the season. We need a full season of that. 4. Less fumbles. He can't cough it up when someone gets to him.  5. IT. Some QBs have it, some don't. You know it when you see it.  6. More game winning drives where BY is the one leading it and doing it. I don't consider handing the ball off 3 times and kicking a FG a game winning drive for Bryce. I need to see him put the team on his back like Cam used to do.  If we don't see several of those things, I think we have to consider moving on. Can't offer BY starter money and a huge chunk of the cap if he's JAG.

      Rod is such a terrible playoff coach. That guy is single handedly going to cost us another game.

      It was encouraging that Bryce was benched last year when he was not getting it done. This gave me hope that Canales and Morgan have the stones to do the right thing about him going forward. If he does not progress this season the Panthers should look to draft a new QB in the 2026 draft. I really hope BY is the answer. He has no excuses this year.
