Why 2010 Means Nothing to the Carolina Panthers (no smack)

Sorry about the tone of my first post. I opened to reply while it was in the smack forum and went to drop some buccaneers in the toilet. When I got back I didn't realize it had been moved to the actual panthers section.

But essentially if you take out the sarcastic assholishness of my post you can still see my points.

And as to asking what I proved about us being a younger team than your team. Well the point was that we had already shed our old dead weight and there is not a giant purge to come as you seem to think. Even with a new coach our scheme won't change significantly. Richardson and Hurney (if he sticks around) will hire a coach with a similar philosophy to the one currently in place but with his own personal tweeks to bring it into competition with the current trends of the league.

Because of this there will be no need for a completely overhaul of personel, the team has a very strong core of young talent that by far surpasses the patsies that are on the Bucs so any coach that comes in to tweek our scheme will find more than ample weapons at his disposal.

Our rebuilding was begun by our FO during an uncapped year in a lame duck season for our coach. There are many reasons for this that have been described at length in other threads on our forum (feel free to peruse). See the thing is, our owner is ten times the owner of the bucs so that in and of itself puts us ahead of you by a country mile.

The two year headstart comes from the fact that John Fox WILL NOT be your coach next year. And philosophy changes are crippling. Your defense may turn into a 3-4, offense philosophy may change. And then your roster will be gutted again.

That's pure conjecture.

1. While likely, Fox may not be out the door. It really depends on what happens this year. If we finish 8-8 or better, he'll be here.

2. Even if we replace Fox, the replacement may have the same offensive and/or defensive schemes. West Coast offenses have gotten prominence in recent years, but the league is trying to clamp down on pass-first offenses some (moving a ref from behind the D-line to behind the O-line to watch for holding for example). The point is, we're not automatically going to bring in a Tony Dungy to replace Fox.

Looks like this thread will go one for 20 pages but let me add my 2 cents. The Bucs are hardly the franchise I would pattern myself after. Their decisions are colored by saving money so the Glaziers can help prop up their huge debts to the Manchester soccer franchise in England. They have adopted a go cheap and save money on the Bucs while putting out a substandard product to use as a cash cow. Problem is that the fans have caught on and are not showing up anymore.

They brought in Morris because he is cheap not good. He has shown little ability to actually coach. After hiring Bates as DC last year he fired him halfway through the year. Great move there. So how did it work? Yeah they went 3-6 after the bye and finished 27th on defense. The offense wasn't any better and they finished 28th in yards and 30th in points.

Truth is your fans know you suck as well. You will have a blackout most home games this year unless teams like Carolina can pull you up by selling tickets. I think last year we were the fourth best draw on the road.

The Buccaneers are picked last this year for a reason, they don't bring in talent, go for cheap all the time, and won't even spend the money to bring in the talent for coaches.

If we suck this year it will be because we pulled a page from the Bucs scoresheet for CBA reasons. Difference is most folks expect us to revert back to our previous spending once the new CBA is in place. For the Bucs all they have to look forward to is more of the same losing and miserly ways of the past.

The only thing that has helped you in the past is that you have sucked so badly that you have gotten some high draft picks who could help your team down the road.

If all you have to go on is your running game then that's weak sauce. You think teams won't figure it out? Already your team is one dimensional and that got exposed in Week One.

What else do you got???? This is what i'm saying, you're flapping your gums but nothing is coming out but noise. So far no one has given me a legitimate reason as to why Carolina can do anything this year, all i see are fans who will be talking the loudest on route to a 6-10 season.

Damn, you beat Cleveland. Beat somebody and your Arguments might hold some weight. If a Texan fan came on here bragging, I'd pay more attention to what he had to say.

Well for one thing we were 3-13 last year, we really have no place to go but up. There were also a lot turmoil last year that the team had to work through. You take the improvements that are huge in wr and d-line and put that with no drama to deal with. Just that alone puts them a world ahead of where they were last year.

And I will be in and out of this topic all day. I am at work and have been in and out of meetings all day. I copied and pasted the OP from the Bucs message board I frequent. I just find it humorous that everyone is defending nothing.

And seriously, the cheap shots are ridiculous. It seems like there's a lot of Panthers fans smack talking when their brains fire off blanks. If you have nothing to say, don't say anything at all.

Does a Bucs fan really have to moderate a Panthers board?

And you have puffed up a Cleveland win into a Playoff bound team....:lol:
