so i decided to look through my collection of the Panthers ROAR magazine. I figured I had to have something in there that I could read and chear me up. Well I found the special 2003 Super Bowl edition magazine, and at the end there is an interview with Hurney and Fox. One of the questions in the interview ask them if they are going to be active in the offseason since they have a decent team and just made the Super Bowl. They both were quoted on saying that their favorite quote is, "If you are not getting better you are getting worse."

So my question to you Hurney, Fox, and the rest of Panthers Nation, in what way have we gotten better by releasing Diggs and Lewis. By not retaining Peppers, Brayton, or Lloyd? Its funny how there just jumping away from their philosophy this offseason of building their team through the offensive and defensive lines. But no I do not blame Hurney nor Fox, I blame the "Big Cat". The beloved Charlotte icon who is putting his bank account and the NFL before the team. If he considers this a wash season, shouldnt the Panther fans do the same and not show up to games, not spend any money on concessions or anything else. It is not like the "Big Cat" will be losing money anway since hes gonna take the 20 mil he saved on Pep and put i right into his bank account.

Maybe if our fans actually make a statement and do not show up to games this year they will be forced to go out and try to improve the team kind of like the Jaguars did. Please sell the team "Big Cat" your a disgrace.

there is simply no way w/ Fox in a lame duck year that Fox/Hurney have the freedom to go out and try to field a team they think can win this year......it is all prep work for post Fox. Fox knows it and accepts it, he will try to win with what he is given.

I am really not trying to come off as this whiny negative fan, but dont you guys not find this to be unacceptable. Believe me I have experience with rooting for terrible team as I am a Mets, Knicks, and Rangers fan as well. So I am not use to success. I just do not think it is fair to the fans in anyway to just have a throw away season, ecspecially with the talent on this team.

This is the natural cycle of things. They aren't going to be allowed to make long term decisions since they may not be around for much longer. Some of these decisions are pure business and not really football based. We have a solid group of guys to build around and like someone previously said we are setting up for the future. You have to understand that sometimes you sacrifice the short term for long term!

      Man whether it's the Panthers or the Hornets it's crazy how many foolish talking heads there are in the local media. I just unsubscribed from locked on Hornets. Doug Branson with his cheesy mustache is an absolute clown especially when his partner isn't on. Talking about trading LaMelo because he can't win basketball games by himself with no semblance whatsoever of a legitimate Center. These YouTube personalities will say anything for a damn click.

      Dream big: Imagine this future and tell me how you feel

      I’m hoping for that exact same scenario, two seconds would be big for us. I’d hope for 3 impact players. A WR/DL/DE that can contribute like this current class would be key to our rebuild.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      When I look at what I can find, a carryover problem from last season is our receivers are still unable to get enough separation on a consistent basis. Canales is certainly better at scheming them open, like how he sneaked out Thielen for a big play. But then he's also having Thielen running routes he frankly shouldn't be doing anymore. I feel part of the RZ issues is not really having anyone - after trading Diontae - who can make those quick cuts on a short field to give whoever is under center a wider window to throw. We also only have one guy with blazing speed in Thompkins and from what I could see, he's really used more to draw away coverage. I bring this all up because what Canales needs for sustained success - other than QB - is the other receiver pieces we'll be getting in the offseason.  Otherwise, I have to say that Canales isn't as afraid to be aggressive offensively. As others mentioned, still doesn't run the ball enough at times. Finally, I still feel his playcalls still doesn't line up with his mantra of getting rid of the ball within x amount of seconds. Maybe I count too slow. Oh, and I'm glad Canales first game after a bye looked good. I feared he'd be like Ron Rivera where we would fall flat on our faces.
