Crossman's firing has probably ended our hope

Danny Crossman deserved to be fired, because our special teams just weren't where they needed to be, but the guy is like the sacrificial lamb for a season gone awry that was mainly the responsibility of John Fox. He is the shark chum that has been thrown in the teal ocean of Panther land that is being manipulated in order to keep those of us who have been calling for the John Fox's head half-way satisfied. He is the bone that they threw out the back door to all us fans who are awaiting eagerly for scraps of Fox's flesh.

Don't get me wrong: the ugly reality that is another season of Foxball filled the air, even before the bad taste in our mouths of last season have had a chance to dissipate, but many of us were still hoping beyond hope that J-Rich would come to his senses and declare "Contract, Be Damned!" We were still hoping beyond hope that a new Cowher, err hour, would come, and the era of the roller coaster seasons would cease, but Crossman's firing has ended that pipe dream and has given us cold clarity.

Now we are left to wonder whether or not 2010 will be Fox's swan song, or will it be his ticket to a few more years of Foxball, and our ticket to an IMAX version of the Fox-Delhomme roller coaster ride, complete with the 3D glasses.

i thought god was omniscient

probably should have seen all the front page threads about this

damn right. this thread adds nothing to the already ongoing crossman discussion of the crossman thread. "I AM NADA" should have just posted in there.

posters like this are turning the place into a dump where you have to wade through pages of threads to find a single good one.

You're saying Fox fired Crossman to save his job?

lol this argument kinda made sense when Trgo didn't come back and before that when Henning was fired, but this is a ST coach, lol. Nobody saves their ass by firing a special teams coach.

Also, where's the part where you argue why Fox should be fired? You make it seem as if everyone on the board already agrees with you.

TD probably figures it's all been said before.

Why say it again.

The camps that want Fox fired and the camps that don't, aren't going to change their minds.

I've said it before, sooner or later, there won't be anyone left to fire or blame...changes in O-Coord; D-Coord, now this. Crossman deserved to go without doubt. I just find it funny that he doesn't go until after Fox's supposed meeting with JR on Monday.

      The guy has not coach college in ten years and in that span its greatly changed. Still take him over Davis, I want to see the presser and if billy still has fire in his eyes for college non-sense.....plus you know billy will want a multi-million staff.  This is interesting, very....... glad the old guard FINALLY steps aside......

      Processing Blue: immediate draft needs

      By Basbear · Posted

      He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 2 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ?? There's waiver claims too, they have done that each year.
