I don't think Fox's job is safe unless we win at least one playoff game next season. I can't see us going one and done like this season and Fox keeping his job.

There's always the "our season was ruined by injuries" excuse, but I'm not sure that it's going to work again.

That's why I asked about going to the Superbowl. Because I don't think anything less will save him, exspeacialy after his comment on just making the playoffs this year being the goal of the team.

I think he could get canned unless he wins at least one playoff game. I doubt we'll even make the playoffs next year based on his winning season/losing season rotation and the fact that we have to play the AFC and NFC east next year. Plus Cowher and Shannahan will still be out there. Could also come down to who the owner is should somthing happen to Jerry. Anyone heard anything recently about them finding a heart donor for Jerry?

Pretty similar to the 3-1 each quarter comment if you ask me. There's a lot of things I really like about John Fox. But sometimes, with some of the decisions he makes, I wonder how we've managed to win as much as we have with him as head coach.

Oh well, for better or worse, he'll be here next season. That's for sure. Fired for anything short of a Super Bowl appearance? Not so sure about that. Like I said before, another one and done would probably mark the end of John Fox. This is especially true if it happens in the same fashion as this most recent appearance.

Barely losing a championship game by the skin of your teeth is one thing. There's a lot of things that happen on the field that are way out of a coach's hands. Sometimes the ball just doesn't bounce your way. (See 2003 SB)

Being the #2 seed and getting blown out at home by a team you're supposed to beat...and in your first game after a week's rest.. that's another thing entirely.

No because the fans never get what they want!

At the beginning of this season I don't know anyone that wouldn't have wanted the NFC South championship and with it, a playoff birth.

Granted, it didn't end as we would have liked it, but I know I got at least one thing I wanted... and that's at least half of what Fox and Hurney promised.... a crazy good run game and a stout defense. Now let's get that last one, and we'll be in good shape.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
