Moores failure is Foxes fault

I have always been a supporter of John Fox. but I really think his pig headed ness has caused the demise of what would have been a serviceable qb for us this year. He had a chance to rest Moore this week against Tampa- he had his excuse and probably a very valid one at that. I doubt that there is anything like a " small" concussion - a concusssion can have long lasting consequences and to put a guy making all the mental decisions that have to be made on the field by a NFL qb, just 7 days after receiving what may in fact have been 2 seperate concussions is in my mind irresponsible. Moore was set up to fail by a coach that was too pig headed to let him have time to heal - both physically and mentally.

i kind of agree with that but i also think that moore needed that opportunity to not be passed over by clausen. if clausen came in there and lit things up at all (or just did more with the starters than moore ever did this year), then moore would have very little chance to win his job back. he is hanging on by a thread.

that said, the doctors cleared moore to play, didn't they. throw the blame on them if the concussion was still an issue.

Fox has done a lot of things to delay or limit Moore's success, but I don't think starting him in Tampa was one of them. In fact, Fox has always been overly conservative when it comes to injuries, and had he felt Moore needed the time off I think he would have started Clausen.

I agree with this part. He deffinitley should have started yesterday as long as he was cleared.

But yes, Fox did kill his chances with the way he handled this team for the past 2 years.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
