Panthers talking like a team that has thrown in the towel

[Mesmer]

The 49ers aren't exactly the best team in the world right now either.

The fact that he thinks smith and williams has given up. Leads me to believe this article is kind of BS. Offensviely we did well in alot of areas. We just didnt' captailise when we needed to.

I think they have come to accept the fact that it doesn't matter how good they run the ball or play in the secondary, when you have a broken-down QB, a front 7 on defense that can't tackle and a coach that can't make adjustments you're not going to win games - bottom line.

It starts and ends with Jake. If we had a good QB, this would be a good team - we're basically the Colts without Manning. It doesn't matter how much we can run the ball, at a certain point it comes down to QB play and we've got one of the worst starting QB's in the league at this point.

Kinda hard to stay motivated under those conditions, huh.

Hard sure, but I seriously doubt Smith and the locker room has simply thrown in the towel. Just because they said postive things after a loss and didnt get pissed doesnt mean they given up.

No surprise here one bit. And I will be very surprise if Jerry does not fire Fox at the end of the season. If he does not fire him then we are in for another bad season next year.

No need to Fire Fox he contract is up after this season. Thank Hurney for that.....

I hate to see an apathetic Steve Smith.

When Steve Smith loses faith in a team there is something major wrong. He give his all every game.....

Can you blame them? My guess is that they're as tired of playing limp d*ck football as we are of watching it.

For sure.... Peppers Play was not cause of John Fox but because of Beason his friend. Someone needs to slip him a Viagra or two before a game or something.

When has/did smith given up? All I got from those quotes is he thinks the team did well, but it wasnt enough. Where assuming so much, in so few words.

If I am Williams (averaging 9.5ypc) and they take me out of the game and throw 44 times

I WOULD BE PISSED TOO

Fox looked like a beaten man in the press conference after the game last night. He was talking a good talk, for Fox anyway, but you could tell that even he doesn't believe his own BS anymore.

PS. Carolina14(TWC) could show the press conference, but not the damn game!! greedy asshats!!

I got the same feeling, just waiting for this fugging press conference to be over....along with the season.

Pissed and giving up is different

You sound like John Fox. Think the season is still salvagable?

Maybe they didn't want to risk ruining such a nice YPC average?

Most people here probably haven't even read the article. They just assume that Reed is right, and then they pile on. This happens over and over here.

I'm not convinced that they have given up on anything either. Shoot, everybody knew that they were probably gonna lose at least one more game anyway, so it's actually kind of good that they lost to an AFC team. They have a lot to work on, but this season is still not over yet.

sounds like the writer threw in the towel a long time ago
