Fox on not bringing in veteran WRs: Those aren’t my decisions

Basically Fox says "Not my fault we suck"

I know Fox's style of football is boring, and not all that dynamic, but I think this quote from Fox is huge. Fox never outright says anything, so the fact that he is dancing around this subject says to me. "Hey don't blame me that we suck"

I don't disagree that the Panthers and Fox should split ways after this season, but I can't blame this terrible season on Fox. He is doing the best with what we have.

I really don't understand that. He hasn't changed the playcalling since 2008 when we went 12-4. Like I said I think Fox and the Panthers need to go their separate ways, but I would put him as a minor contributor as to why we suck

We have NEVER had back to back winning seasons.

When something is not working, Fox will do the same thing fro 4 quarters until we lose.

He is either unwilling or incapable of adjusting to game situations.

That is the worst trait for a coach.

So the fact that we have no consistent qb, no wide receivers, and a terrible o-line doesn't factor in at all. What do you want him to do?? If you go back to the games, we generally start abandoning our run on first and second down towards the ends of these games when we are losing. I really don't think Fox should share most of this blame.

O-Line doesn't suck. O-Line is dealing with extra defenders in the box because opposing defenses know we can't pass.

He may not have dynamic WR's....but his playcalling still is too predictable.

he is a BIG reason that we suck.

One cautionary note is that the same playcalling also had us at 12-4 and averaging 25 points a game in 2008. The difference is that all those veterans are gone and the talent pool is much worse.

Again I am not saying I will be sad to see him go but the problems with the offense aren't all his or even Davidson's at this point.

You're right I should amend that to, O-line is playing poorly and factored in the extra men in the box.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Shotgun · Posted

      His first season. I saw it with my own eyes, others saw it too. Old man Dalton had to come in to make the throw. I watch every game. You must of just missed it. He had another chance a couple of weeks ago from the 50 and didn't even attempt to throw it to the endzone....cause he cant.

      If they start Corbett...

      By Matthias · Posted

      I would say if they put Corbett back at center, that would be evidence of some kind of favoritism thing going on.  I would have to ask if our coaches are leaders of men.  So they bet not do some stupid stuff like that.  It would be one thing if Corbett had pedigree at the position, a probowler.  This dude has never been a good center in the slightest, and only looked decent at the guard position in the past. (Which I don't believe he ever had a fully healthy season as a Panther)    So this shouldn't even be a discussion if you're the coaches.  But again, Corbett never should have been the starter in the first place.  I know we're armchair coaching when it comes to these things, but before the season, I was rooting for Mays to win the position.  The guy played a key role in Bryce's surgence last year.  Why mess up that combination?  And they did mess up the combination by making Corbett the starter.  It could be we might of won against the Jags had Mays been the starter. (Yes, I believe it was that critical)  We know Mays went in late against the Cards, where Bryce began looking better at the end. (Though the Cards played soft coverage)  So all these things says Cade Mays is the better center for the team.  Yet certainly he is the better center for Bryce if nothing else.

      He was our best YAC guy in 2023 and 4th in 2024(behind Hubbard, Sanders, Coker). He was a great and productive WR for us because he knows how to play the game, he had a connection with Bryce specifically and our other options have largely been atrocious.
