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.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By TD alt · Posted

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
