i could see how this might be a team orchestrated injury to allow hurney and fox to bench jake without taking the responsibility of doing so just in case the moore experiment fails, then they can avoid the responsibility of having made the decision to bench jake.

GROW A PAIR JOHN FOX AND MAKE THE CALL TO BENCH JAKE FOR POOR PLAY! and not for some trumped up injury for a hangnail!

"deflect and deny" has worked the past few seasons, why stop now? the "injuries" excuse has explained away more than one losing season thus far in fox's career.

While the timing is perfect, it's got to be real. You could tell from the way Fox was defending Jake that he still believes in him. Can't really be surprised, Jake is why Fox was thought of as a great coach for so many years (even up to last year...).

Fox is a good coach. Made some bad decisions, but fundamentally I think what he coaches and preaches is the right way to win football games. Turnovers however make his gameplan moot. Having a player that has 22 turnovers through 11 games means that you are not winning the turnover battle. Add fumbles by RB's into that, and your definitely not winning. There is no coach in the league that can win with that many turnovers.

His loyalty to Jake appears to be his greatest weakness. Having loyalty toward the best QB(by the wins/loses) in your franchise history isn't the worst thing I can think of. I don't think with Jakes implosion and all the Injuries that Fox will be fired this year and it just so happens that Jakes hand injury helps even more because it forces him to play the backup.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
