Interesting Fox quote

[Brooklyn Bully]

Coming back from the game, I listened to locker room interviews. I'll paraphrase Fox the best I can...

(On Jimmy going in)

Um...uh...sometimes you want to give a rookie QB some uh...experience out there and um...when you're in the 4th Quarter and the game is um...uh...you know...not that winnable...you go with him..."

So in other words, you gave up. You said, screw it, we're down by 13 and have NO SHOT IN HELL so let's put the kid in...I QUIT.

Awesome, Fox...simply Awesome.

I do not buy that Moore was hurt again. But I will buy you telling Moore to sit his ass down thus giving Jimmy a shot to not only get reps, but see if he could win the game. It's okay to say that, Fox. It's okay to say Moore looked less than average and you BENCHED him. It's okay to say that, Fox.

[Steven Smiff]

It was what it was.

[Cat'sGrowl]

I got the impression that was thinking when Jimmy was put in and there was no offensive urgency whatsoever.

Two years ago, I would've lost it, but in all reality...this isn't the first time it's happened. Or the second. Or the third. And so on.

Fox has lost that tenacity and toughness he had when he first got here and replaced it with stubborness and lack of creativity, Im ready to see him go. It was a nice era but we need some new blood. Just look at how well every team in our division has done with a coaching change in the last few years.

Jr doesn't care. Fox doesn't care. Why should we care?

Jr doesn't care. Fox doesn't care. Why should we care?

This.

[Primetime 89]

Jr doesn't care. Fox doesn't care. Why should we care?

Amen.

And what if Fox didn't put Clausen in? You guys would be bitching that he left Moore in the game and Fox is "too loyal" and so on. Who cares if Fox wanted to sound politically correct. He made the right coaching move by letting Clausen get some reps.. everybody knows it, who cares if he is letting Matt Moore save a little face.

[Jackofalltrades]

Boycott!!!!!

Um, down by 13 with over 10 minutes left to play WITH the ball.......is not a scenario where you "let a player get reps" b/c the game wasn't winnable. If Fox said that, he should be fired today.

[Carolinator]

Boycott!!!!!

k but let me buyout as much of the dan connor jerseys I can first

[hepcat]

Boycott!!!!!

This = LA Panthers

Still need to go to the games. Show support. A young team needs to know the fans are behind them, even if ownership and coaching are very suicidal.

I don't take the quote as Fox gave up... I think it translates to...

"Well clearly Moore isn't getting it done out there and I just decided that Jimmy will be starting next week, but I don't want to announce it now and make things that easy on Cincy."

I'm convinced he's already checked out. IF he were to go during the season, who do you think would take over as HC, Meeks or Davidson?
