...looks from capable free agent QBs.

Anyone with a brain knows that Cowher's credibility alone will make Carolina attractive for a number of free agents, particularly QBs, who will also like having Williams and Stewart in the backfield.

This is reason alone to can Fox, and hire Cowher if he's willing to come here.

But what about money? If a QB like the team but don't get pay enough, he won't come here. Liking a team isn't the only way a QB will come here mind you. ;)

if we bring in Cowher were in trouble. If Cowher comes so does the 3-4, and if we go to the 3-4 we just do not have the personnel to run it. In my opinion Peppers becomes useless he is to big to be an OLB. Jon Beason will become useless, he is best served in a 4-3. It is just like Jonathan Vilma who was a Pro Bowl MLB for the jets and then disapeared after the Jets moved to a 3-4 and was traded. Also successful 3-4 have a ballhawking safety like Polamalu and Reed, which we lack. Damione Lewis would have to be shifted to DE and I do not see Thomas Davis being a pass rushing OLB that the 3-4 requires.

I'm not a proponent of signing a free agent quarterback this offseason. There are quality players that will be out there at positions we are also in need of (wide receiver, defensive line, safety) that I would rather splurge on in free agency. We need to aim big when it comes to quarterback and look to the draft.

Yep. That is one of the big concern of mine if Cowher come here. It would take years to be a contender again if he change the defense. You don't just change what work for Beason, Davis, Martin, Gamble, etc. If Cowher come here, I want him to keep Meeks & run the same defense. It seem to be working, so why change that? He should tweak the offense instead, since we need a lot of work on that.

After winning the Super Bowl, Peyton Manning restructured to help save the team money. If I remember correctly, Tom Brady also took a pay cut to help the team bring in other players.

But those being the two best quarterbacks in the league on two of the consistently best teams in the league is probably a bad example.

I remeber that. It would be nice if Jake restructured his contract to help us get some FAs & he can be #2.

One can only hope that Delhomme will possibly consider retirement after this season. It would certainly allow us the money to get a decent starter next year, if not in the years to follow. 8-18..6 fumbles-3 lost. No excuses for him to still be in as he is dragging down this team. Deangelo's facial expression at the end of the game said it all.

I'll be wearing my Fire Fox shirt next week in the endzone for sure.

I see what you're saying, but Peppers would be a beast in a 3-4. He is the most athletic guy we have on the defensive side of the ball. He is a lot faster than we think he is. Presently, in my opinion, we are more athletic at LB anyway. Regardless, we need better interior linemen, whether they are 3-4 or 4-3.

As well, I don't think that he would bring the 3-4 no matter what. But even if he did, changing things wouldn't necessarily be the worst thing because we aren't getting any younger anyway. We are past the Super Bowl window.

Even though I am personally defensive minded, in this league, I'd rather have a great offense rather than a great defense, because the majority of the rules work against the defense anyway (roughing QB / pass interference are the most glaring examples) because fans want to see points scored, not 6-3 ballgames.

Cower is man enough to accept using a 4-3. He's not some spoiled little rich kid who only wants things his way.

He was a coach & GM at the same time with the Steelers, wasn't he? That reek spoiled little rich kid there & I don't want that here. The only thing I accept with him here is he just be the coach only & keep Meeks. Period.

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
