Interesting conversation this week...

had an interesting conversation this week within someone within the organization. We didn't meet up to talk Panthers in particular, but I couldn't help but ask a few questions.

When I asked about Matt Moore, he had another perspective I had not heard much. Fox preferred Delhomme, McCown, and even Cantwell to Moore, but not because of anything on the field. Mainly, it was a personality thing. Fox described Moore as being"not a football player". It comes down to nothing on the field, but simply a personality conflict.

Moore is a pretty laid back guy. Tends not to take things overly serious, maybe not even football as much as the next guy. This clashes with the type of player Fox likes to use. But it may also explain how Matt is able to come into big games with all that pressure and perform the way he did.

Anyways, just throwing that out there.

Doesn't really surprise me... I don't know Fox personally from Adam, but on the surface he seems like someone that, if he takes a disliking to you, that's it, not much changing his mind on it.

I'm going on the assumption that he assumes if you don't seem like you care, he'd rather not play you. Remember, NFL players make good money and have a legitimate reason not to care, imo.

Interesting, but someone in the organization must have thought enough of him to keep him on the roster for 3 years?

I also find it ironic that Fox is from the Parcells coaching tree and Parcells is one of the most intense coaches in the history of the NFL and Moore was a guy Parcells snatched up and hoped to clear through the waiver wire when we snatched him up.

Perhaps Fox was operating on the "if Parcells likes him then I like him" principle? It's funny that Romo also gets the same heat for seeming too laid back. Both are undrafted FA's brought in by Parcells.

I agree with others on the thought that this laid back personality is actually an asset on the field.

his laid back, cool kid personality is what we need to boost our team. i think that's why delhomme has sucked over the past few years. he's started to put too much stress on himself, and has felt too pressured as of lately. a guy who doesn't feel pressured would actually produce more. i don't see how this could affect fox's decision on playing him or not. if that were the case, he would've put a.j. feeley in those last few games of the season.

      I was going to joke and have the Chiefs throw in 2 first rounders..... But as soon as the Mahomes/Bryce trade comes through we need to hit accept and have Mahomes on the very first flight out here; no negotiation needed lol.

      Is Tua our next QB?

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      It will be interesting this year to see if spending time with some of the best QBs and play callers in the league changed Wentz at all. I really think Mills is starter material. He wasn’t awful despite being apart of two dumpster fire seasons before Demeco got there. Plus he would have zero issues seeing over the line.

      Cam on First take today, his comments on Smith’s fan statements

      By PantherBoy95 · Posted

      I feel like for once every one of those guys held back. And I think there is a 5'9 100% attitude guy that they're almost hesitant to speak out against. This is the fact of the matter, it's sports. When you win, fans cheer. When you lose, fans boo. Especially consistently year after year with no end in sight. Instead of just talking about us being the Bible belt maybe talk about how we've never once in the franchise history had back to back winning seasons. We love the team, we loved and celebrated Cam and Steve, and even guys like Jake that we love not just because of talent but because of his spirit as the face of the team. But they all won.  Fans pay a lot of money on gear, and on these overpriced tickets to go out and see a horrible product. I've slowed down on watching games because I realized I was spending 4 hours of my day getting annoyed watching a consistently bad product. Outside of a few hopeful games at the end of last year Panthers football hasn't even been enjoyable to watch. When I flip the channel to a Ravens/Eagles game it almost feels like I'm watching a different sport.  I wouldn't just focus so much attention on the city, I'd ask based on the results are they justified.
