It seems a lot of you are missing the point. Yes, we have a bad quarterback and a new one would definitely boost our team back to original form BUT with our current coach who is the reason for our bad QB and has done next to nothing to bring a new real prospect in to QB, why in the hell would you think he is going to get rid of a QB he has given huge amounts of money to in the form of a new contract that wasn't even viable in the 1st place? You can't have one without the other at this point. What you guys need to admit to is that Fox left us hanging with our current situation. They both have to go. I just don't trust his judgment any more.

For some reason, despite everything.. I agree with Meat.

I think John Fox should remain the Panthers coach. He annoys me to no end sometimes, but he's a good NFL HC, and he's made us respectable and I'm not sure that I'm ready to throw all that away and start over just yet.

I know we're having a down year. I know it seems like the 40 billionth time that the Panthers have failed to have a good year after a playoff appearance.. but the fact is.. they bet on Jake being able to come back into form after the Arizona game and they bet on Peppers being a dominate force. With that, they bet on limited depth in the trenches.

So they made some wrong decisions. So did the Hurricanes, but I'm not ready to throw JR out the door. And I'm not ready to throw Hurney and Fox out the door either.

Hurney, for the most part, has done an amazing job fielding some very talented teams. We've tasted victory with Fox and we've never been any worse than mediocre. I'm just not ready for him to go.

If Richardson decides to clean house after the season I'll understand why, but I'm not sure that I can be 100% behind it.
