[after reading this, i'm leaning more towards what can fox do with a better than average QB?]

I have to say I agree with you. Jake has done well in the past, but it is time to go. I don't think he can correct the problem with what he has to work with. Fox has not proven to be a bad coach, but just slightly above average. I would like to see what Fox could do if we had a top rated QB. I'm not ready to give Fox a 4 year contract. Maybe a years extension to see what can happen.

I'd say the same thing here I said in the other.

There comes a point sometimes where a coach and team have gone as far as they can with each other. When such a time comes, separation can actually be mutually beneficial.

Fox could conceivably go on to a new team and take them to victory while a new coach could come in here and accomplish what Fox hasn't. Tampa and Dungy were a prime example of this, though if we go this route I hope we pick a better successor than Gruden.

I'm ready to blow the thing up. New coach, new gm and a new QB.

With 6 games to play, and just 2 games under 500? That's a little much. If you blow it up now you're basically signing up for years of mediocrity with a hope of being a playoff team by 2015.

Sure we aren't in playoff contention, but that doesn't mean heads need to roll. We're less than a week removed from people chastising the franchise for dumping Dan Henning after a mediocre season. Imagine the reaction if we clean house and Fox goes to a team with a QB and Hurney goes to a team with a bigger free agent drawing power, and we end up with the next College-turned-pro coach, or better yet, the next supposed-to-be-great young coordinator who flops while our bright young stars get old and injured. Hindsight can be a biznatch.

a very well written article.

i've been on the fence about how i feel about fox staying or going. he has done so much for the franchise, yet it's just shy of good enough.

after reading this, i'm leaning more towards what can fox do with a better than average QB?

The question is "Where is the QB coming from?" The Draft? Fox doesn't play rookies most of the time, so I really doubt he would put a rookie QB in. A FA QB? Really, who would be available next year?? I look around the NFL, I really don't see any BU QBs that are worth a damn in the NFL. We are hurting, and the NFL is hurting for decent QBs. We have Matt Moore, but will he play next year? This season is over and we won't see him play this year. Fox will be here next year, and most likely with Jake as the QB...

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
