Now more than ever, I'm done with Fox

I'm done with Fox, since the season is basically over anyways - I'd like to see us lose every game from here on out to make it as certain as possible that Fox is gone. I know that sounds terrible, but it's like treating cancer - you have to kill some good cells along with the bad cells to get rid of it once and for all.

You know why we lose? because there is no aggression or accountability on this team. Jake can go out there and play like crap and we just call plays around him instead of benching him. Peppers is a ghost and nobody on the coaching staff gets in his face. Look at Tony Sparano last night, someone makes a mistake and he's all over them. A team takes on the personality of it's coach and that's why we're soft.

I love the Carolina Panthers, which is why I will be rooting for us to lose all our remaining games this year - it's the only way I can be reasonably sure that we'll finally turn the page on Fox and get some energy back into this team. Fox was good for this team when he came on because it needed some TLC after going 1-15. Now we have a decent team that is under performing and needs a big swift kick in the butt and Fox clearly doesn't have that in his bag of tricks.

I like Cowher, but I don't care who we bring in here next year as long as they are aggressive and demand accountability.

to tell you the truth i'm right up there with you man. you basically summed up the exact same way I feel about the situation (save for the accountability part, they all seem to hold themselves accountable, they just aren't doing anything about it).

I'm still going to be cheering for the panthers, but at the same time, I won't cry if they drop every last game this season, because it only means our coach might be gone.

Agreed, it's good that we have character guys like Beason to act as surrogate coaches or this team would be lost.

Just once, just once I wanna see Fox stare someone down as they approach the sideline after doing something stupid, but I know that will never happen - he'll just clap with that constipated look on his face and say "come on guys".

Dolphins are playing with many of the same guys that were on the 1-15 team they had, so what's different? Answer: They got two guys in there (Parcells, Sparano) that will not accept failure. I thought Sparano was gonna kick the TE's ass right there on the sideline after a play where the guy ran the wrong route (didn't flatten out enough). When our guys do that, Fox gives them a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

Dude, I know you're upset & all, but that is silly to now want our team to lose all games. That not the Panthers fan way. Not cool at all. Beside, even a coach can get fired while they have a good record. Remeber Marty (former San Diego coach, since I don't know how to spell his last name :P) & Dungy (when he was coaching the Bucs)? Again, they has good records & got fired anyway.

    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade. 
    • Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.  
    • I have zero issues with this.
