blame the officers, not the soldiers

this is the oldest damn refrain in the world and goes back to the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest.

In football terms, it usually manifests as "you can't fire the players."

stop pretending that the Panthers are a super bowl winner with just five new white dudes in head sets. It's the easy way out. the optimistic way out. In many ways, the cowards way out.

embrace the shittiness. Revel in it. Make it yours.

but stop pretending one man can fix everything right away.

sweet got any more useless platitudes i want to start my new bumper sticker business

it is the truth. Replace Fox w/ a good head coach and the change will be significant. Fox has always been a DC pretending to be a HC. It has caught up to him.

A HC that gives a damn could fix this team.

Fox was cracking jokes and laughing at them in his post-game press conference - that shows you where his head is at... he's checked out and could give a f**k at this point.

Of all the cost-saving measures, keeping a lame duck HC around is the one that bothers me the most, because it has poisoned the entire team.

new HC and coaching staff that doesn't suck

a GM that doesn't suck

an Oline that doesn't suck/get hurt all the time/doesn't take half a season to gel

DEs capable of a pass rush

DTs that don't suck

a secondary that doesn't suck

WR corps that aren't too old or who don't suck

a QB who doesn't suck.

these few things might make the team suck less. fixing just a couple of them won't turn things around. good thing we don't have (m)any huge long term contracts left.

team can actually rebuild after this year. hopefully it won't be anther crappy underachieving team.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
