Ron Rivera or John Fox?

Fox got canned in Denver and is probably getting canned in Chicago.  He just didn't evolve as the NFL passed him by.  Meanwhile, Rivera's squad is 5-0.  The strength of both is defense and Rivera is fielding a top defense while Chicago may have the worst defense in the league.

Who is the better coach at this point isn't even a debate.  It's Rivera all day long.

Fox failed to adapt to the NFL as it adapted around him. Ron finally showed the humility needed to save his job after the 13 Bufallo game.  

I still remember Troy Aikman during the 09 resurgence at the end calling it "Fox's best coaching job".  If Jake hadn't of gotten hurt at the later part of the season, we would have never put in Moore and not won any games at the end. 

Fox is mediocre at best.

Gantt specifically stated that he couldn't put Rivera in the higher tier with Lewis and Arians because he only has one playoff win.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Arians doesn't have a single playoff win as head coach...

Short term Fox (contrary to popular belief) has some ingenuity.  

BUT

Rivera is soooo much more in tune with his players and staff.  I think Rivera is on the same career trajectory as a Bill Cower.

Fox can win you a game tomorrow, Rivera will build you a powerhouse from the inside out.

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
