He inherited a 1-15 team, and it appears he is intent on leaving one for the next guy.

Delhomme, Peppers, Harris, Hoover, Diggs, Kemo, Lewis....this is what Seifert did before 2001, saying the Panthers were doomed to 7-9 seasons unless they went with a youth movement. He ditched Beuerlein and other vets, and when things went South, he had no one in his locker room to turn to.

Trading Harris makes NO sense.

Why would you assume Fox has anything to do with these personnel moves?

Seifert purged all our veterans because he couldn't coach them, they had seen through his B.S. he was hoping for a team of youngsters that wouldn't question him.

You seriously think Head Coach John Fox had no idea about releasing these players?

Get real man.

I know you were pretty high on Fox as a coach. Does this off-season change your viewpoint any?

Trading Harris makes perfect sense for a team who feels they have good young guys who can fill in there. Harris was kind of a liability in pass coverage as well. My only problem with the trade was I wish it happened before the draft though Williams seems like he will be a good fill in just in case Davis is still hurt.

Do you think Fox would stick around if he didn't have say in personnel moves? Especially with a team that hasn't renewed his contract?

I don't think he would. He'll have no problem finding work elsewhere.

in a way I feel the same way because Fox has got to have a say in trades, Hurney cant just go trading away players at will unless HE is the one wanting us to fail, but at the same time, if there is a lockout next year thats an extra year to build and get used to our new "youth movement" without having the losing season to go with it. not to say I think we r going to lose but it's a possibility when you take team chemistry away u lose alot of respect in the locker room. Personally I think we are good for 10+ wins, we do have a very easy schedule

JR may be behind all this

Fox has turned over his coaching staff in last 3 seasons

Now all his vet players are being turned over

If the team still can't get it together

That only leaves one equation left from the orginal problem:smash:

All the cards have been dealt

As a coach on the field, his record speaks for itself. I shouldn't have named this thread for Fox. It's the whole organization doing this. I just don't see what their vision is. Spending the whole offseason building up Moore, then drafting two of the top QBs. Purging veterans left and right. It works for New England because they have Brady to fall back on. But this reeks of a fire sale setting themselves up for high picks and money to spend on them. The fans are footing the bill, though.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
