Don't fire Fox, just cut Delhomme.

Fox isn't the one out there throwing INTs. He has assembled a competetive team every year he's been in Carolina (even this year). The only problem the Panthers have is Delhomme. A QB that scores more points for the other team just...he deserves to be cut. Fox doesn't need to go quite yet, but Delhomme needs to retire.

Who has stuck with Delhomme and hasn't found a better option at QB?

That's it.

I'm a fan of Fox, but by sticking with Delhomme when he's playing this badly, he is just as much at fault for this horrible season. Do we really trust Fox to find a quarterback who can play better than Jake? He's had an awful long time to do just that, and has failed miserably.

I agree, the majority of the time our receivers were open, the right plays were called. With a qb a lot of those plays would have been successful.

Only thing is I want a passing and running team not just a running team, Fox is so conservative he is extremely predictable. A new QB might open up his perspective, but probably not.

If there is only one change made it has to be a new QB thats for sure...I hope.

The Delhomme situation is exhibit A of Fox's inability to adapt to change when it's needed (see also Dan Morgan/Will Witherspoon and Deshaun Foster/DeAngelo Williams). Not to beat a dead horse, but his stubborn loyalty to his "guys" isn't always in the best interest of the team. That's a problem, and I don't see Fox waking up one day any different.

With this showing today I dont see how anyone wants to keep Fox. Our Defense played lights out today and we would have won if Fox had enough since to yank Delhomme. Im sorry I dont care how bad Moore might be we will never know till you put him in. The fact is Moore has never been given a shot to succeed in this Offense.

No, I'd fire Fox because he continues to allow this situation to exist. If I'm the coach, theres no way that my starting QB will throw 5 int in a game w/o being pulled. Moore help to save our season a few years ago. I'm not saying that Moore is the answer, I am saying that we need a QB change. I'm watching the Steelers and Ravens right now and watching how well Dixon is playing, I find myself comparing every QB to Delhomme, and just about all of them are better or at least playing better. Delhomme is overthrowing Moose w/no pressure on him. Even if Smith ran the wrong route on that 1st int against the Jets, the ball was thrown at his feet, if he had ran the right route would he have caught it? Jake sucks and needs to have been benched a long time ago, because he haven't, Fox needs to be fired.

    • If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway. 
    • You mean tepper but yeah I agree about rhule   Baker is a top 3 potential qb that is play for mvp and he is doing it with a slew of injuries
    • There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
