He has had more wins since being in Carolina then the Bucs, Falcons, and Saints and two of them teams had been Superbowl Champs why he was coach. We also have been better then most team each and every year then a few team. So shut the HELL UP. Any coach in the lead will tell you that Fox is a hell of a coach. The only thing that I see Fox has done wrong was keep Jake as long as he did. NOW THAT IS THE REAL DEAL

Fox defense thread #2000000 sounds like every other fox defense thread.

Thing is, in a "What have you done for me lately" leauge, John Fox is trash, doesn't really matter what he's done in the past, He's not a terrible coach, but he's not a good one eithier.

You only can work with the tools they give you. Now if they would get him a QB like Peyton, Brees, Farve, Brady where do you see FOX and company. He can't help the front office is cheap. Working with the tools he have I would say good job Fox Im sure he wasn't pushing Peppers out the door and without the defense that we had in the past(because of FOX) where would you think we would have placed. I promise we wouldn't went to the SB. So don't blame it all on Fox. You can't win them all.

Fox hasn't done anything in the past three or four seasons. And he'll be gone after this season is over, so you don't really have any room for boasting. He's done here in Carolina, and everyone knows this. Yeah, he took us to the Super Bowl seven... yes, seven years ago. And the only reason he got us that far is because teams didn't know how to prepare for 'em since he had just earned his first head coaching job.

    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
