I agree. Save the team. How many players have now given up? How many players are thinking I am not going to resign with this team? At least by firing Fox tommorrow, you might just save the team and they will know JR wants to win with the team not these Coaches.

you make more threads per day than anyone on this entire board

...but to answer the question, firing fox would be ridiculous because there's no hope to turn the season around; an interim coach would get one or two wins at best, and would almost certainly not be around when a new coach is hired.

it would be more trouble than it's worth, and it's just not what class organizations like Richardson's do. knee-jerk decisions usually come from the Al Davises of the league, and i am perfectly happy not modeling the raiders.

1) so. for some reason, most of your responses are negative, but its your right. 2) I'm just pissed, and no longer care to see Fox on sidelines. I know he won't be fired before the season is over. And maybe he shouldn't be, just sounding off.

Fox is not going to get fired mid season, and he may not get fired at all =\ But this season has not been bad enough to warrant a mid-season firing (not for a team coming off the kind of season they had last year)... that being said, a change at the end of the season appears possible, particularly if the Panthers don't make it up to 7 wins.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
