Too little Too late firing Crossman. April has been nabbed

this is just a typical Henning/Davidson, Trgo/Meeks, type Fox move......slight shuffle to try to direct attention of what is really wrong in Carolina away from the real problem. Like our former #55 said...Foxy has his hand in every single aspect of this team.

You like me and everyone else have been begging for him to be fired. The difference is I am grateful. You are trying to look a gift horse in the mouth and blame Fox even when he does something good.

well, I have been consistant though....regardless of any coaching moves Fox makes I always say it isn't really going to change the problems here.

Crossman sucked. He should have been fired. But like most of the coaches Fox has on staff......imo Fox does a good job of putting everyone in a position where great success is difficult. Crossman had squat to work with this year.......the returners struggle making catches and basic decisions and I don't pin that all on coaching. IMO, if Crossman is given a legit return man he immediately appears miles better than what we saw.

Carolina can bring in an awesome guy......but if they are only giving him a handful of medicore returners than that part of special teams will remain weak.

there are at least 31 other special teams coaches out there who are better.

just because we didn't get the best in the whole universe doesn't mean that we aren't still going to be seeing immediate improvement.

i would have loved to get april but getting rid of crossman was the first major obstacle. it finally happened. i'm just happy about that.

I am with rayzor on this. If Crossman had great numbers up to now and this year was the exception I might agree with you. But he has been bad since he got here. Plus injuries are not Fox's fault. As for him having mediocre (not medicore) guys, i don't think that is true. Every team uses backups and some of our backups for example Anderson, Rosario, Barnidge, etc. did pretty well when they played.

If you look at our special teams we were fundamentally poor. Guys didn't hold their lanes, didn't block well, were out of position, etc. That wasn't skill but practice and attention to detail. If we get a good ST coach in here watch out numbers suddenly get better with essentially the same cast of players.

    • Jake in his prime was a gutsy QB. But just like with even someone like Cam. Father time is undefeated. It's very unfortunate we have a guy who is only 24 years old that has an equivalent arm to that. Absolutely blows my mind that our brain trust lacked the basic common sense to value arm talent when making a massive trade with ramifications for years to come. Unforgivable incompetence.
    • Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.
    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
