2) Bring in Cowher - Enough of this Fox "conservative, bend but dont break, oh thats ok sweetie" philosophy We need to bring in someone who actually has a pair and will get in peoples faces when they do something stupid. Do you think Jake would've thrown 5 picks if Cowher was coaching?? I dont think so.....Cowher would've stuffed Jake in the heating unit

Please, Cowher was infamous for having teams that choked in the playoffs. I like Cowher, but I doubt he's the savior that everyone thinks he is. When (or if) he coaches again, he'll want major $$$ and he'll want to replace the GM. Does a 12-4, division-winning team really need that drastic of an overhaul? And then what if he comes in and we go 7-9. Should we just up and fire him because the "buzz" around this great coach is all dead? I definitely think we need a new QB and a new D coordinator, but Fox (and Hurney) should stay.

pep will be back if he wants to be back, right now i don't think he does. post game comments were ify at best, on the plus we would still save money by signing him.

He's been here his entire career... and even though he gets bashed by a few people on this forum, he's actually a really good player and comes through for the team about as much as anyone could ask for. Compare him to other DE's...

I definitely think we need a new QB

If that happened, I would like to see Jake still on the team, even if he isn't starting. He has been with Carolina for a while now and has been in a lot of situations. He has valuable insight, even if he isn't the best.

w/o Fox and his pussy playcalling/philosophy, we could be 14-2 or 15-1

heck we couldve gone undefeated

We shouldve lost the GB game due to Fox

We shouldve lost the NO game due to Fox

We lost the NYG thanks to Fox

We lost to Min thanks to Fox

We got murdered yesterday thanks to Fox

time for him to go

I guarantee you Lucas would not be blowing these assignments and Jake would not just sling it whenever he feels like it if Cowher was here

I don't know what happened to Jake last night & I reckon he doesn't either. But what I do know is that when you get predictable you get beat. :banghead:

My biggest gripe with the Panthers has always been that the offense doesn't mix plays up & on the 1st series I thought that might change. Gripe @ different players all you want, but we have the personnel to beat anyone - we just don't use them. For example, as much as I like DeAngelo Williams, he's not a 3rd & 2, bust it up the middle runner - but Brad Hoover is & who expects him to get the ball? Nobody.

In the 2nd 1/2 I heard one of the TV commentators say wow, the Cardinals must have really watched a lot of film last week, pointing to plays where it was obvious the Cards knew exactly what was coming. But you wouldn't have to watch film all week to know.

On the flip-side of the coin, didja see what the Cards did on 3rd & 1? Expecting them to just get the 1st down, right? Surprise! Long pass that the D certainly wasn't prepared for. That's not players - that's coaching, game plan & taking what the other team will give you.

I read in one of the Arizona online papers this morning some comments from one of their defensive players who said our offensive line opened many big holes - we just didn't run thru 'em. Again, that's not player skill or lack thereof, that's coaching, game plan & taking what the other team will give you.

I certainly don't forgive Jake for throwing such boneheaded passes, but why were those plays called to begin with? The Cards were looking for those & they'd obviously practiced for them. Not taking anything away from the Cards as they definitely played they're best game, but I expected them to come with their "A game".

And I expected us to come with ours, including plays nobody had seen before, to players we don't normally use for this or that type play. I guarantee you that Jake would not have thrown all those picks if we were running plays the Cards didn't expect. With the play-calling we had last night, the Lions could have beat us.

That goes for the defense too. The few times we did really go after Kurt Warner, it messed him up big-time & as good as he is, if you stuff him into the ground enough times, he'll make mistakes too. Only difference last night is he was smart enough to throw the ball away & try something different on the next play.

With the right coaching staff, you could take the Panthers team the way it is right now & win the Super Bowl. :mad:

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
