The John Fox Mentality. Cmon

John Fox is off drinking Coors but his mentality is alive and well in the Carolinas, (and the Huddle). His mentality of "playing it safe" worked only 3 out of the 9 years he was a coach here. 3! That's it. But for some reason we still want to play it safe and not take any chances. Some people seem ok with being 7-9 or 8-8 the majority of the time.

We have a NEW coaching staff with a NEW philosphy who want to dictate games offensively. They want teams to adjust to the Panthers. The "punt is a good play" is no longer the mentality around here.

Mind you I am not against drafting a DT a need position but Dareus = Fairley = Taylor = Austin. All are solid but not special. One can be had of equal talent later on. Cmon

PP is a good to great corner but would you draft Revis or Flacco/Ryan/Freeman if you had to choose. Cmon

AJ Green more youth at a position where we have youth. 3 picks last year at WR and we want to pick another? Cmon.

Let us remember that we all want the same thing. A Super Bowl Championship. We've played it safe for long enough without winning... time to try it another way. Cmon

who do you think?

Why do people bring up a 2-14 record and being a winning team when talking about Cam? If we draft Cam, our record won't magically be better all of a sudden and there ARE other ways to win even if we don't chose Cam.

I am all for taking chances, Cam so be it but that doesn't mean all chances end in reward, so let's not assume that just yet.

But playing it safe up until now hasn't either.

      Ward 1, Hunter, maybe 2. Per McShay

      They reached for Pickett, so they are not immune to it.  I could see that as well.  I just think the Colts are flying under the radar and they have been too quiet concerning their QB situation--of course, they could think Jones is their guy (they had a good one named Jones a long time ago) but I think they are done with the Richardson experiment.   Even if I believed in Jones, I would still draft a QB--I also read one mock that said the Jets would take Sanders if he falls to 7---I disagree, but I was once wrong and it still bothers me.

      I just switched to prime video with fanduel south. Will I be able to watch the Canes playoff games still?

      I mean, you can use that "logic," but the problem is that most practice squad players, backups or average guys don't put the play on film that Wharton did when given their opportunities.  Perhaps you'll end up right, but I don't think that just because a guy has been in a rotation makes him inherently less productive because he gets more snaps. I will say that the KC fans I've seen on social media loved him, and considered him their second best DT,  regardless of his "rotational" status, and generally considered him a dawg, so I'm going to give him the benefit of doubt until he shows otherwise.
