If we were to fire Fox a team would hire him in minutes.

People don't seem to realize how respected he is as a coach around the League.

Fine and dandy....let him be respected somewhere else then. :D

All I know is, if he still insist on allowing a QB who has turned the ball over six times in the game, and allowing the ball to be thrown on your own 15, with 10 seconds left and the game tied, knowing your QB's are getting killed, he's not gonna be respected anywhere, anytime soon.

He is a double edge sword, just like Jake. You can't help but like them, but by God Almighty do they make you so dang mad sometime.

ONe more name to throw into the DT discussion is Alan Branch of the Cards. He came out in '07 and dropped to the second round due to question of work ethic. In listening to a Arizona camp report is was mentioned that he was not adjusting well to the change to the 3-4 (like Dorsey). Unlike Dorsey, he is much closer to Kemo's size (6'5" 338) and according to rotoworld has a 2009 cap figure of $1.2 million. With the likely comp picks of a 3&5 or even two 3's for Hamb/Ormi we could afford to use a 3rd or 4th plus a player. He may be the closest to a Kemo clone out there who is available, cap reasonable and experienced enough to step right in.

Agreed

I mentioned in another post that they had Branch and Gabe Watson, both who could fill the bill. But, they are moving to the 3-4 themselves I think, so they might not give one of them up.

If this team can't find one or two worthwhile guys after cuts, they will trade for someone serviceable even if it comes with a hefty price tag. Guarantee it. This team saw that it had an opportunity window of probably three years, beginning last year, with a solid group that they we comfortable with and wanted to retain. IMO they have shown that they are willing to mortgage this team to try to add the pieces they WANT and find success in the next two years. Why would they not continue to mortgage the future to add the pieces they NEED?

I know you're not talking about a preseason game. Who the hell wants to watch an extra quarter of 3rd stringers? I'm glad he did it. You honestly think he would have done it in the regular season?

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
