(Will you make other changes to the starting lineup?): We have that right every week.

(Do you foresee any?): I don’t try to foresee, just evaluate.

Isn't that what got us into this mess?

(Do you anticipate you’ll have an announcement Wednesday about who will start at quarterback vs. Tampa Bay?): We’ll have to wait and see what Wednesday brings. I mean, today is Monday. I hope I’m here Wednesday. I hope you are, too.

Wednesday? We talkin' 'bout Wednesday? Wednesday?

If Fox is gone next year I'll surely miss his press conferences.

(Will you make other changes to the starting lineup?): We have that right every week.

(Do you foresee any?): I don’t try to foresee, just evaluate.

(Specifically, what finger is it?): It’s a right hand finger. That would not be the thumb.

(Do you not want to say what finger you’re dealing with?): No, because we don’t have to.

(Why do you believe you've continually had difficulty getting Steve Smith involved? He had one catch for 5 yards.): He had one in the end zone I remember.

(Did you think it was a touchdown?): Obviously, it wasn’t.

(Do you anticipate you’ll have an announcement Wednesday about who will start at quarterback vs. Tampa Bay?): We’ll have to wait and see what Wednesday brings. I mean, today is Monday. I hope I’m here Wednesday. I hope you are, too.

:lol: Hate the man all you want but he's brilliant with the press.

Sounds like he doesn't have his story straight and doesn't want to end up with his foot in his mouth.

I really think Fox may be mentally ill.

I understand a certain amount of discretion, but why wouldn't you say which finger was broken? Why wouldn't you say what's wrong with Peppers hand?

I would think the league would frown on coaches being so smug and belligerent with the media (and by extension the fans). The league requires coaches and players to make themselves available for the media, wouldn't you also think the league would monitor the conduct of coaches and players during their interactions with the media?

Not to get political, but Fox reminds me of Cheney and Rumsfeld... he honestly doesn't think it's any of our damn business.

      Big changes coming

      By MechaZain · Posted

      I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.

      There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring.

      I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
