Na'il Diggs Isn't Scared to Get Punched In the Face

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.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
