He's picked a few pretty asinine plays to challenge, by the way. But, on a related note...

Why the $%*& does our stadium have to be the only friggin' one in the league where replays aren't shown a hundred times from various angles, slow motion, etc. when there is a challenge? Is this just another nuance of Jerry Richardson showing his allegiance and support to the league?

In two cases, Fox challenged plays that obviously wouldn't be overruled. However, in both cases, one of his starting players was down on the field at the time he threw the challenge flag.

Why is this important? Because in both cases, if play was stopped to send out medical personnel, those players would have had to come out for the next play. By throwing the challenge flag Fox basically got a five minute timeout (or longer) for the cost of a time out and a later challenge, but got to keep the slightly injured player on the field and active in the next play.

It might have looked bad in the two cases I know of, but honestly, that's some smart heads up coaching.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Woukd be a great addition You know the issues from my prespective, 2 things the Panthers must do 1. Edge or pass rushers or 2 oline or 3 oline or as Andy Reid says, when in doubt, draft a lineman it is time   That oline is troubling plus a small person at QB  they   1. Can do a lot better than mayes at center, 2. and lewis has had injuries all season. 3. Moton should not have  been resigned long term, 4. corbett is a shadow and will probably be released  5 and Christianson coming off Achilles   6 and the kicker, would be Ickey’s contract if they decide to keep him INMO rookie and contracts will be needed to offset all that
