Fox Isn't Worried About Employment, Distributes Blame, Stew Calls Out Offensive Line

Good read...

Denied a contract extension over the past two years, Fox is in the last year of his deal after the Panthers spent the offseason overhauling the roster and shedding payroll to become the NFL’s youngest team.

“I don’t think it matters if you have four years or one year and I don’t care if you’re a player or a coach,” Fox said of his contract. “I think in the times now we’re all well compensated.

“I don’t think I’ve ever really worried about having a job in this league. I’m not going to start now.”

While Fox has taken subtle shots at the roster-gutting earlier this season, he disputed Monday the claim the Panthers don’t have enough offensive talent to be competitive—even if statistics say otherwise.

...

“Did you see any holes?” Stewart said Monday, reluctant to talk. “As an offensive unit, we’re just not making enough plays. Point blank.”

And by no means am I a Moore apologist, but as I pointed out yesterday, that last INT looked to be on Smitty, although Moore shouldn't have thrown it...

But Fox was quick to point out miscommunication with the Panthers’ underwhelming receiving unit.

“There were some other areas that broke down on some of the interceptions,” Fox said. “I don’t think I can pin it on” Moore.

Haha I say this same thing and I have Mav and Dockery all over me, even after Dockery admitted to not watching the game. I'm going to PM you all of my thoughts from now on and have you post them and see if they get different responses.

Smitty homers will never see his flaws. Any time you bring up his attitude it is "always improving". His attitude has been improving longer than Vick has been learning the WCO, and that attitude is still poo. Keep that he has come a long way BS away from me.

The J-Stew line and the Otah line were the two most interesting things in that article.

He's right.

But this wasn't the way to address it :(

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
