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.
