The Team seems to be speaking out more then ever. Thats not a good thing if your a head coach.

not at all. Beason felt the coaches didn't address Pep and the defense (which was noted by Jenkins a season early).

Smitty can't be productive given what Fox wants to stay committed to doing and is voicing it. (That is about the nicest way Steve can say Jake is done and you know he wants Fox to man up so he doesn't have to complain about a close friend's professional job performance). Beason and Diggs responding to comments made to the media just further proves this team isn't happy w/ decisions on the sideline.

3 more weeks max.

that's what happens when the coach loses his team!

Could be more proof of that. This constant drama is absolutely not what Fox and Hurney want & they have usually kept it from happening in the past..especially on a weekly basis.

I didn't read it at all as an indictment of Fox or the playcalling. It was more a commentary on Smith and the fact he expects to make catches and be involved every game. Beason and Diggs were just saying they see things similarly. No matter how involved they are, they always want more and even when they win they want to do all they can to contribute. When they don't they are disappointed. And that is what Smith was feeling when he made those comments.

Anything else is speculation or wishful thinking.

Smitty was talking big picture, not about a single game. Smitty wants to make plays every week....now why do you think he now thinks he can't do that in Carolina?

imo it is a reasonable assumption based on watching this team that if your team has a QB that in not effective throwing the ball and can no longer lead an offense(and you are committed to that guy) - then Smith would no longer be an asset to that team.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
