What do you think?

* Drafting Peppers

* Starting Peete over Weinke in first season (established conservative, win with defense MO)

* Keeping Kasay over Shayne Graham

* Replacing Peete with Delhomme after one bad half

* Letting Trgovac go finally, replacing him with Meeks

* Letting Henning go finally (hey, that's what the fans wanted)

* Letting Crossman go finally

Trgo was one of the meanest people I think ever worked for the Panthers.

With that said, of the few times I met him he was really nice to me.

Had some good conversations with him.

Not sure why. Guess I just had that "it" factor.

Maybe I should play QB.

He hated kids, though, it seemed.

I like his decision to clap when our team fumbles....

Actually, Fox's loyalty to his players and his tendency to encourage them no matter the situation is one of the things that has made him successful. Most of his players over the years have loved him. When you love your coach you will play a lot harder for them than for some dick who freaks out everytime you make a mistake. These are professional athletes, they don't need someone yelling at them to let them know that they shouldn't fumble the ball.

Yeah. He and Henning were opposites. Henning was a friendly old guy who had all the confidence in the world. He'd flat out tell you if he had enough talent on hand or not. Trgo seemed to be afraid of what everyone thought of him. And he carried it around with him, too. But you'd never hear him rip one of his players.

We, the fans, asked for Henning's head for so many years because of what we deemed as his anemic offense.

In comes Davidson, and many are calling for his head because of what we deem as an anemic offense.

Did anyone watch the Dolphins/Jets game last night? Jets have a pretty decent defense. Was that an anemic offense?

The problem IS Fox/Hurney.

      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.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
