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.

Nope I would hate the Falcons as much if not more!! glad foxey boy is out of Denver now as they have always been my second team and it was hard to pull for them with him there.. But he is a a 1st class coach.. Just bitter on how the last two seasons went.. Blah blah! And blah!

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.

      Quick Posting / Embedding Tip

      By jfra78 · Posted

      When Twitter first changed to X I was able to get it to embed with various tricks. When those stopped working, I stopped trying and don't really blame anyone now for posting links and not embedding.  I'm not going to download a new browser just to be able to embed on this forum.  Hopefully Igo was serious when he said he was going to fix it.

      100% fact. people forget Stern was a NYer.  Theres been what 10 picks since that were gifted to teams? Even Lecommie said he believe the lotto was rigged when the Cavs just happened to get the #1 pick for the local hero. They also got the #1 Kyrie Evring when Lecommie leftd for miami. I bet that's when he started the Diddy parties too... Zion Timmy Duncan  AD Rose to bulls Victor Wembanyama Cleveland got 2 more #1 overall AFTER Erving fixing the lebron BS.  Yao Ming got to pick his sity... That's all that I remember, even one is total joke, https://www.si.com/nba/bill-simmons-accurately-predicted-mavericks-would-win-nba-lottery-back-in-march   Just more or less WWE, but at least WWE refs are not criminals. Players bet and shaved points, Im 100% sure of, especially if Michael Jordan did for years.... I am shocked I lasted until Larry brown with the bobcats before I quit being a fan. Any NBA new I see is not by my will/want to follow.  Total joke, I hate the government more than NBA, but they should expose the fraud that league is so it can dissolves and a new better league can start. Maybe then the players will play in all the games like years ago......I mean LOLLOLOLOL you can not play back-2-back games when a breath of air is a fool?? Total joke, I hope the whole league folds. frauds!! I can not respect any owner that allows this.
