If John Fox got the Falcons job...

No, let him go to Chicago...... He'd run circles around Rivera coaching wise. I don't want him anywhere near the NFC south. I'd prefer if he stayed in the AFC to be honest. lol 

 

 

Him going to Atlanta means the Dimitroff is out as GM, they wouldn't get along at all. 

 

 

A lot of people on here don't give him the credit he deserves as a HC. He took the Panther's to 2 DC's, 1 SB and 3 playoff birth's in 8 season's. 1 of those season's was directly after a 1-15 season, another one of those was the lockout prep year where the roster was gutted. He took he who shalt not be named and Jake Delhomme to the playoffs and is 6-4 in the postseason with out Manning. (2-3 with him)

To be clear, most of the speculation on Fox puts him in Chicago, so I'd consider this a pretty unlikely scenario.

 

But if it did happen, what would you say?

 

Partytime!!

 

Fox wants to run the ball and stop the run. Atlanta is not set up to do either one. Also, with Atlanta having 2 GMs (Dimitroff/Pioli)

it's like the football axiom that "if you have 2 QBs, you don't have 1". Samey-same with GMs when trying to put a roster together.

 

It'll set that franchise back a decade.

Dimitroff would be fired in an instant....as for the play the run and defend the run....neither were the panther's in 2001/2002 when he came in. Carolina Rank 31st against the run in 2001 and in his first season rush defense was ranked 8th in the league.

We took two division titles in a row with Sean Payton and the Saints in the division and you're worried about John Fox in Atlanta? Okay.

 

He just had Peyton Manning and an all-star team and his best result was getting smacked in the Super Bowl.

 

The NFL has evolved so much since we had that run in 2005 it almost renders whatever he did then irrelevant to what he could do now. It's a "what have you done for me lately" league, and I'm not sure what Fox has done given the circumstances of his latest team that should strike fear into us, considering where we are poised to go next season and beyond.

And he wanted the roster built to run the ball and stop the run, Hence Stephen Davis, DeShaun Foster, Brad Hoover, Nick Goings, DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart, blockhouse formations with 3 RBs, draw plays on 3rd and a mile.

 

Stopping the run cost us picks on Atiyahh Ellison, Kindal Moorehead, Corvey Irvin, Sione Fua, Terrell McClain.

 

With two GMs trying to figure out how to build Fox's vision of a football team, it'll be worse than having a single Hurney.

 

I haven't heard how strong a grip Dimitroff has on his job, but I'd think since he wasn't fired with Smith and made to share his job, he will still be there for a couple years before Blank comes to his senses.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.

      I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
