Irony: Julius Peppers > John Fox; or, (at the very least) Pep = Fox

Thinking about what they do, Julius Peppers has arguably been a better DE than John Fox has been a head coach. Yes, Pep is known for taking plays off. But, John Fox does the same. Apparently Fox takes whole seasons off, and that's why he has never had two winning seasons in a row as our coach. Some of you say that Pep only shows up (i.e., gets the majority of his sacks, which is kind of a myopic way to look at production) against weaker opposition. Well, perhaps John Fox does the same (BTW, aren't they supposed to do that?)! The thing is is that Pep has arguably only had one bad year, and Fox...well...looking at their entire body of work over their careers as Panthers...one is a five-time pro-bowler and the other a one-time Super-Bowler. Some say that Pep does enough to get by, but Fox does that semi-annually. Some say Pep only showed up on the national stage in "contract" years or on games where he had a national stage. Oh, if John Fox could do that, he'd be in the class of Bill Belichek.

Anyway, Pep seems to be on his way out, and you just know that John Fox is on his back in because, if history is a guide, we should have a winning year since our schedule is on the right side of weak, giving J-Rich the opportunity to make things right in Panthers universe by extending Fox, and extending our play time on the escalators and elevators (if you know what i mean).

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      By fanpanther · Posted

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
