Sorry RB, this thread is now about the validity of the source quoted in the article, not whether the content was correct.

Not about either of those things really. It a bashing article about Fox by a reported NFL executive who is unwilling to say it in public. Big deal. Isn't the first time that has happened. But the article proves nothing, breaks no new ground or tells us anything even the casual huddle poster doesn't already know. So it is no big deal and certainly not a well written article or expose of any sort.

And it won't exactly ramp up any pressure on Fox who is gone already.

So we all knew the above was true before this article? Ok, I can roll with that.

So what, in your opinion P55, does this say about Fox and his staff?

Not much different than most of us have been saying, time to move on.

As for things like not having any hot reads on blitzes, you ought to be looking at Clausen on that on if it was a game he started. I promise you that Jake had them installed last year as did Moore. If there aren't now it is part of dumbing down the playbook for Clausen. That is what happens when you go with a rookie. I am not surprised.

Article is spot on. Probably didn't directly name the sources to avoid getting them fired?

yeah, coaches/front offices don't to go on record saying John Fox is a retard and what he does is pathetic. You can't expect a source to be named.

I wonder how much of that is lack of trust in rookies in general, or lack of trust in Clausen specifically.

Either way fair enough. Truth is we huddlers will probably never know the real answers to the questions we argue so passionately about.

It isn't really a Clausen thing but more a rookie thing. We pared down the playbook quite a bit for Moore in 2007 as well. You can't install a whole playbook for a rookie. It is information overload.

      How we weren't willing to roll the dice on Wilson but were on Brooks remains a mystery.

      ProFootballFocus: NFL Week 16: Rookie Team of the Week

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Wide Receiver: Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers – 85.3 One of the more shocking developments of the 2025 NFL season has been the Carolina Panthers’ ascension to the top of the NFC South, which they achieved with Sunday’s win over the Buccaneers. Perhaps nobody has made a bigger difference than former eighth overall pick Tetairoa McMillan, who continued to be a steady presence in the Panthers’ offense. McMillan caught six passes for 73 yards and a touchdown in the win Tight End: Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers – 91.1 Evans only saw the field for 16 snaps, but he was efficient in his limited playing time. He caught all three of his targets for 23 yards on just six receiving snaps while also grading well in pass protection (72.2 grade) and as a run-blocker (68.4) Edge Defender: Nic Scourton, Carolina Panthers – 77.9 The former second-rounder out of Texas A&M has been a force along the Panthers’ defensive line, and he was a key contributor in Carolina’s huge win over the Buccaneers. Scourton recorded two stops as a run-defender and added another while in coverage. Scourton also tallied his sixth sack of the year while contributing another pressure to the mix Safety: Lathan Ransom, Carolina Panthers – 75.7 Another Carolina Panther on this week’s list, Ransom has typically been stronger in run defense — he carries an 85.2 grade in that field on the season. But Sunday against the Buccaneers was his best day in coverage. Ransom intercepted his only target, which wound up being the game-winner that put the Panthers in the driver’s seat in the NFC South
