John Fox teams follow one statistic - they play their best football in December. Since becoming the head coach for the Carolina Panthers, John Fox teams are:

20-14 in September and first week of October (Through 2009 season).

20-12 in December.

I thought if my memory served me correctly, John Fox teams played better in the last month of football, but that wasn't the case. The records are pretty close. I was surprised.

It's the way he preps the team.

Fox generally doesn't run as brutal a camp as other coaches might. Nor is he particularly tough on the team once the season starts.

Contrast that with a coach like Tom Coughlin, a guy who's full speed ahead from the first day. His teams tend to start well, but fade down the stretch.

It's not necessarily a bad approach, but that by itself won't give you a winning team.

They play their best football when the season is over and there is no pressure to succeed. Moore was fine in relief and after an offseason of coaching and having to be the guy he is a failure. Fox can't prepare his team to handle pressure.

it's hard to argue against that...

      Trap game

      This won't be a trap game for them. I worry more for the next time we face Atlanta. That's a death trap game if we aren't careful.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Luckily, we've got more games ahead to watch and see what happens. Maybe he keeps growing his game, maybe we see that he's topped out when we hit stiffer competition. Or maybe he flames out against a team he should well be able to beat like the Jets this weekend. I really can't tell where all of this will end. I can say, though, there's no reason to hit the kid at the moment. Let him roll for as long as he can.  Heck, Sam Darnold is setting the league on fire right now, along with Baker Mayfield and Daniel Jones. Examples of guys mired in bad coaching on bad teams (sometimes our own) that hit their stride just as a team did. Maybe we're about to get lucky.  I do know one thing. The biggest change in a winning Bryce and a losing Bryce is that when he plays fearlessly, he is a hell of a competitor. When he gets scared, and he has so many times, it all just falls apart for him and no team can save him. Bravery makes the difference and it comes from believing in not just himself, but his line, his receivers, his running back and the play calling. Just like most young QBs. And quite a few of the old ones. Rodgers couldn't make it in the chaos of the Jets situation. He can in Pittsburgh, so it seems.

      That’s what I thought too. Maybe I interpreted it wrong. I was considering maybe taking a last minute trip but I think I’ll pass
