Board Secession / Board Split

Any chance we could get the board temporarily split into two sub-forums: "I am Optimistic About the Future" and "I am Pessimistic About the Future"? We are pretty evenly split into these two camps as a board, and because of this pretty much every thread is turning into the same arguments (some more heated than others) about whether we need to overhaul the team or essentially stay the course.

As one of the Proud Pollyannas myself, it's getting slightly irritating seeing every thread talking about the season hijacked by people who insist that the franchise is doomed unless we trade the entire roster and get to have another expansion draft. Take a look at Beaux Berry's post, for example. But on the other side of the coin, I'm sure the self-described realists are just as sick of the optimists' undying optimism in the face of a horrific end to this season.

I'm mostly joking about the board secession thing, of course, but this is definitely a powerful split, and I don't think too many of us fall between the two extremes of "FIRE FOX! CUT JAKE! COMPLETELY RETOOL!" and "12-4, RELAX GUY." It's just interestin', that's all I'm sayin'.

I had a epic LOL @ you thread last year that I wish wasn't lost in Server crash where I was laughing at all the doom and gloomers last year, if we can fix the offense in one offseason we can fix the defense too, and right now it's far too soon to know anything, for all we know right now we could keep Gross and Peppers, and not have to franchise tag either.

<---- Realist

Jake isn't an 11 million dollar quarterback but we don't have any better options. He'll be back (I wish with a pay-cut) and Fox will be too. Trgovac should be gone but it is impossible to predict.

Peppers isn't worth what we'd have to pay him at this point but we can't afford to lose him. Glad I'm not the one that has to make that decision.

As with fans of any franchise, there will be plenty of people happy and plenty of people pissed off by decisions made by the powers that be.

:iagree:

That Jake is not an 11 million dollar qb, I know he'll be back, not happy about it at the moment but I'll get over it.

Do I think we need major changes somewhere in the organization, Yes I do. If we want to win a super bowl, we need changes. I think a DC that didn't have to use fox's philosophy would be a major start in the right direction, same with the OC.

If fox is the reason behind use being overly conservative on defense and offense then he needs to go as well. I want the Panther's to win a super bowl, plain and simple. I don't want to cut corners to do it either, but I want one for the franchise. If that means certain guys have to go, then that's what we need to do. I completely realize that some people don't agree with the fox needs to go thought or that jake needs to go. I'm not saying they do have to go,(though I wouldn't mind at the moment).

What I'm saying and what I think most people that are being negative are saying is that something needs to change with the team: coaches, players, gm or all of the above.

That something needs to be done for us to get to the goal of a SB. Because besides for a few people on offense (smitty, jake, moose) and a few players on defense (beason, harris, davis) it just seemed like we didn't have heart in Saturday's game. I'm not saying we blow up the team, we just need a little more heart injected into this team on both sides of the ball and some in coaching as well. I'm just wanting the best for the franchise and at the moment I'm not so sure Fox is what this team needs.

Does that have something to do with the coaches or is it just the players????

As I said though I know fox wont make any changes and jake will be back and I'll get over it.

      Chase Daniels breaks down Bryce vs DEN

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.

      Anthony Richardson benched

      All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.

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

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
