How many of you still have faith in Fox?

I don't think he can win us a SB, not even a NFC chap any more.

I've been thinking that Fox has reached his ceiling of success for the past 2 years. It's clear that his conservative philosophy will only get us so far and will not produce a consistent winner. This should be a very interesting offseason, but I don't foresee the necessary changes to make us more than above average at this point.

What Fox has going for him is that there are plenty of franchises out there that have had it far worse than us. He keeps the Panthers competitive and in the hunt. We have to live with the occasional egg on our face and not having a championship, yet.

I only wish to see a more agressive team. More agression on D and O. We seem so passive compared to Pitt, Baltimore, Indy, etc, etc, etc.....I an envious of those teams that just "Bring It"

I was thinking something the other day:

Fox is a GREAT coach for what he is. He is what he is. I am convinced his style is much more oriented on finding a lot of talent, rebounding a team, and making them playoff caliber. He is not the best coach for team motivation and gameplan, but can build up a pretty damn good squad of players. He is a "turn around" coach. Not meaning to compare, but he is a similar type to that of a Bill Parcells minus 2 Super Bowls.

A team like the Texans, Bills, Packers, or Broncos could use Fox, we need a guy who can go out consistently every Sunday with a staff and team he picked and get decisive wins on our way to the Super Bowl. This year was our best opportunity to do so under Fox and I just don't see us recovering immediately...something needs to be done.

I try :)

My only issues with Fox is that he puts too much faith in and feels like he's obligated to the players even those who underperform. Ken Lucas should have been benched on more than 1 occassion. Tommy John Jake needs to be gone next year along with Mikey T our defensive Co. that will be the focal point for me having faith in John Fox.

      Reviewing the All-22: Week 1 @ JAX

      By Navy_football · Posted

      DB was getting washed early. Even in 1v1 situations. I think he figured it out later, but they definitely gave him more breaks in this game than I've ever seen him take. There was a play where an olineman rolled B. Brown up. The next play he absolutely wrecked the play. Need that BB to show up early on Sunday.

      2025 Salary Cap Offense/Defense

      By woahfraze · Posted

      I think Morgan has had the right general idea. The problem has been in execution.    Bryce year 1, there were myriad issues from roster talent to coaching and scheme, but the offensive line was particularly glaring. So they went out and  fixed the o-line by signing Hunt and Lewis.  That fix actually seems to have been at least moderately successful.    Last year, pass rush was a major issue. So they invested along the defensive line and at edge. The problem is, they either expended too many resources over correcting—partially because in free agency, when you’re a shitty franchise, you have to overpay to get talent in the door—or they didn’t make the right picks. It’s probably too early to pass judgment on the free agent class or draft picks as it’s only been one game. So we’ve got a small sample size and rookie edges may take time to develop. But if game 1 is any indication, they didn’t solve the problem.

      2025 Salary Cap Offense/Defense

      By Navy_football · Posted

      This is getting out of hand again. I swear some of yall just look for reasons to call out the QB, in an extremely thinly vieled "OFFENSIVE CAP HIT" statement.  All of that is offensive line. It was an overreaction to how horrible the guards were in 2023, where guys were starting multiple games that will never take a snap in the NFL again. Speaking of 2023... where did the offensive cap rank then? Where are those WRs playing in the league now? How much are the WRs, TEs and RBs making compared to the rest of the NFL? We have two, 1st round WRs on the roster. And they are the only WRs on the roster picked before the 4th round. One shouldn't have been a first rounder, he's only in his second season, AND he was literally outplayed by an UDFA rookie WR last year - that is currently on IR. The other WR picked before the 4th round has only played one game as a pro.  QB play needs to improve. Absolutely no friggin doubt about that. But, come on. That dude has not been dealt a fair hand, no matter how many ways you try to spin it. Let's hope he figures out how to make chicken salad out of the chicken poo this team has served him his entire time here. Hoping that this org finds another Cam Newton is not really a realistic expectation.
