Wow, John Fox said "Hopefully we can be a little better than 2-14"

Did anyone else watch John Fox's post game interview? He was talking about how the last team that started a rookie QB and 2 rookie WR's went 2-14. He then subsequently said, "I hope we can be a little better than that."

Ummmm hello?? We've only played 5 games this year. We can still go 8-8, 7-9, hell even 6-10. But to say hopefully you'll be a little better than 2-14 just shows that John Fox has completely given up on this team. I don't care who you are, but as an NFL head coach, what kind of message are you sending your players by saying something like that? The players have all the right to give up on this bum if they want. If John Fox is content with 2-14, then you might as well get his ass out of here right now.

I really doubt Fox is aiming for 2-14, but he's being realistic. It is what it is, and even he is having a hard time buying what it is. :P

Fox is faced with coaching a team that is not anything like he would ever want to. From day one, he has been a huge proponent of veteran depth first, rookies learning, and only starting when they win jobs from veterans - not releasing all the veterans and letting the rooks fight over the positions.

Oh for goodness sake.

Why is literally every single thing that someone says on this team a sign that they have 'given up'?! The man said that hopefully we can be better than 2-14, at the moment we are 0-5...

Frankly it sounds to me more like quiet confidence, in that he will be surprised if we finish that or worse.

People need to stop over analysing every single thing our FO, staff or players say or do. They are just doing what they think is best for the franchise. Fans who only obsess with the immediate success will never see eye to eye with the people who have to protect the long term interests of a business and a sports franchise.

if Clausen finishes out the season. I think we win 1 game. Anything more will be b/c the D starts scoring points.

I think Moore could win us a few more games. Only b/c he is a gunslinger and is willing to throw downfield. He would hit a couple eventually.

"2-14" and "quiet confidence" in the same breath... :confused:

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
