The other side of "It is what it is."

We have all heard John Fox repeat this trite, but true phrase over the years. Yes, it's true in all situations. It is what it is. How can it not be? Right? Well, I subject to you that "it is what it is", may not be completely true in reference to the the current situation of the Panthers. There is another side:

It's not what it's not.

Now, of course, I could go through all of reasons as to why John Fox's system is not the model of genius that some---still to this day---believe that it is. I could also tell you that this is not another fire Fox thread (but it's not), but it is what it is.

If it is what it is, then it's not what it's not. And, if it's not, then why after all these years isn't it?

The next time you hear John Fox say "It is what it is", I want you to hear the other side, and then tell me what business an NFL coach (especially one who has been at the head for years) has saying the phrase.

BTW, I also approve of "It ain't what it ain't."

How About;

It's just fu@*ing Football.

If that's how you think....then you need to find something else to support then.

To some people that that really love, and have a passion for this game, that is like hearing "It's just a kid", when child is found dead.

Sorry....doesn't work that way.

The other correllaries are:

It isn't what many people think it is.

It isn't always what people try to make it be.

If you aren't there, you have no idea what it is.

Then why do you criticize everybody else for their thought process about this organization, but stand by yours? ;)

I guess you are right - If football compares to a child being found dead than I don't have a true passion for it.

Are you saying I don't have a right to my own opinion or to disagree with you? I think everyone has a right to their own opinion and to express it. And I think people have a right to disagree with one another. I also think having facts, articles, and a reason to disagree is preferable to a random opinion or speculation.

What you call criticizing I call expressing a counter argument which almost always I back up with facts and information. If that is criticizing then what's wrong with that?

You do it all the time and often with personal insults and attacks.

I'll need some facts to back this up.

I do love football and my team a great deal, but most of what I post on here is in jest, and just the hell of it. If it get's a rise out of you....then it's working. ;)

I saw your shocking souls 4 fun moniker under the avatar right away and knew your game. I usually just ignore you unless you get personal or negative. I know that you do it for a reaction. And sometimes it works. Never saw the value in baiting people for personal amusement but it takes all kinds. As I have said before you have a right to do whatever as long as it doesn't infringe on the rights of others.

So shock away and fish all you want.

      You are right. At the same time I don’t think people are watching games going come on Bryce put it on the ground or sail it OB or whatever. They just have trouble seeing him turning his 3 or four or five top games of 2025 into the weekly standard outing. Which you expect for the kind of money he will ask for (speaking for myself anyway).

      In terms of comparing Pickett and Young's arm talent it's basically a push at best. Pickett is sitting at 6.2 yards per pass attempt for his career while Bryce sits at 6.0 Last season Bryce was 6.3 in yards per pass attempt. Only Justin Fields Spencer Rattler (both 6.2) Kyler Murray (6.0) 41 year old Joe Flacco (6.0) 44 year old Phillip Rivers (5.9) rookie Cam Ward (5.9) and Tyrod Taylor (5.8) had less pass yards per attempt than Bryce Young in his third season as a starter. Folks going around acting as if it is beyond the pale to say Pickett might have a better arm than Young are living in an alternate reality. You can choose to not believe your own eyes after 46 games but everyone else will acknowledge reality and move forward accordingly.
