With all that's happened this year which of the 3 do you think has the best chance of being gone this off season?

Richardson is putting Fox in a lame duck season, that people are saying is a nudge out the door. Does Fox go looking for security elsewhere?

Jake with all his problems and the play of Matt may push him to the bench late in his carrier, does he take the money and sit, or ride off into the sunset and retire?

Peppers who has already turned down a long term contract last year and said he wanted a change, sign with the panther's, move on, or do we tag him for a butt load of money?

I hope Fox is back and we give him a contract extension.. many of you forget how bad this team was before Fox. We are damn lucky to have a coach the calibur of Fox.. we are always competitive, and we have been to 2 NFC championship games in the last 7 years.. how many teams can say that in the NFC? Only 2. The Carolina Panthers and the Philadelphia Eagles.. what more can you ask from a head coach? Without a QB like Peyton Manning or Tom Brady on your football team, it is impossible to be in the playoffs each and every year.

For all of you asking for Fox's head. You guy's better be careful what you wish for.. the devil you know is better than the devil you don't.

Feel free to stand by Fox, if you want another 8-8 season. Hoooray Mediocrity!

A lot of you keep saying "Hooray Mediocrity".. but that couldn't be further from the truth. Over the past 7 years of Fox's tenure.. we have been an elite team overall. Yes, we have had some mediocre seasons.. but overall, we are not a mediocre team. I have already proved that we have been one of the most successful teams in the NFC of the decade. This is an undeniable fact.

You're confusing elite with competitive.

Elite teams don't fug the monkey every other year, nor do they wilt and fold whenever there are expectations on them.

We're a competitive team. We're nowhere near elite.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. (He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
