Our season has been over since December, the draft has come and gone, and we will probably talk about this until Fox gets an extension (or not). Personally I don't want to get rid of him. Mainly because I can't see anyone that I would want to replace him with. Fox has had a pretty good run. never a double digit losing season, hes made his share of piss poor mistakes, but who hasn't. For some reason Im wildly optimistic (im kinda like that before every season). And I was one who was b**ching and moaning for him to be fired, i dont know what happened. ah well. what say you???

This happens to me too in the off season.

Then once we ease back with a 3 point lead against the Saints with 6 minutes to go in the 3rd (WHAT COULD HAPPEN?!) it all comes back to me.

I'd like a new coach but I'm not going to kill myself if he sticks around.

My attitude is that they drafted for offense, so let's see some. Running the ball is great, but if you can't keep the D off balance they're gonna shut the run game down. I want to see somebody catch the ball besides Smith, and see them use Edwards for his versatility. I want to see Fox get out of his conservative comfort zone.

Only for Gruden.

I might have to agree w/ that. And I think he would love to come here. especially and face the bucs twice a year. and hed loves teams w/ lots of QBs. and he LOVES running backs. and Smitty. If we can't win 9 games id be very disappointed, especially w/ this schedule and this team

My biggest -- and for the most part only -- beef with Fox was his steadfast refusal to put in Moore last season. And even though he only did that as a result of Delhomme being injured, he did let go of Delhomme this offseason and he's obviously made some moves to put a talented young player at the quarterback position.

So with that said, get back with me later this year.

the biggest issue was his reluctance to remove Jake from the starting position. now that it isn't a problem anymore, and I doubt he has any loyalty to Matt Moore if he doesn't do well. Fox will be able to go into this year focusing on the run with a QB, doesn't matter which one to me, that will minimize mistakes and allow us to win games.

won't have to fire him. his contract is up after this season. just let him walk.

not really anything short of a superbowl appearance will make me want to try very hard to keep him around. i would have somewhat of an open mind were he to take this team deep into the playoffs but i'm not really all that curious to see what he could do with this young team.

i'll be ready to move on after the season. i've been ready.

    • 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.
