I liked Capers best. His defenses were beastly and he cared about the Oline. Also cared about team improvement.

Fox next, he lacked many things such as team adjustments, roster decisions, sticking with the same plan over and over. However, at least he gave a damn about the oline.

Rivera I would put 3rd. He is just like Fox except, he gave not 1 fug about offensive line and protecting the best QB in franchise history. fug him.

1) Fox

2) Rivera

3) Capers

Fox never got to draft a franchise QB (Clausen in the lame duck year doesn't count).  He was the most consistent winner though.  The only reason I slightly hesitated with him is how he quit on this organization. 

Rivera had the best nucleus of of young talented players and still couldn't get us over the top or even make us consistent winners.  He SHOULD be #1, but couldn't maximize the most talented rosters we've ever had.

Capers was able to cobble together a bunch of aging cast-offs and make them winners in a short time, but wasn't able to see that he needed to flip the roster to a younger one in time to save his job.

Fox didn't want to draft a franchise QB. He didn't believe in them.

All he really wanted was a quarterback to run a basic offense and not screw up too much.

The laughable and honestly sad part is when this list comes around every year (sorry OP, it's not a unique thread) is until Rhule, Siefert was unanimously at the bottom.  At least ol' Geroge got us a .500 season.  For his sake, at least he's never going to be seen as the Panther worst HC of all time anymore.

Eh, I'm not sure he didn't believe in them as much as the time it takes to develop them.  If the scenario was right where he could have got one early on in 2002 or 2003, it may have worked. Once he struck gold with Delhomme, drafting a franchise QB was all but an afterthought.

That was actually quoted from Darin Gantt.

Fox was an old school defensive coach. In his thinking, the offense's job was basically to not screw up.

Sure, I get that and know that, but we would never know what would have happened regarding drafting a QB high because Jake turned out to be a hidden gem of a FA.  Jake was much more than just a game manager.  If that were the case and that's all he was, I could have seen Fox taking a stab on a QB early in the draft.  Again, Jake worked out so well (up to the Tommy John surgery) that developing a rookie QB wasn't necessary.

We know from behind the scenes stories in 2010 that he didn't want to draft Clausen.

(granted, he was right in that case)

Yup, he had one foot already out the door and the main grudge I hold against Fox. It's like an employee refusing to do anything productive on their last day of work.  Ok, Richardson didn't extend his contract, but at least put your best product on the field!  The only good thing about him quitting on the 2010 squad was we were able draft Cam in 2011.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
