Another point Gantt made

I normally hate/disagree w/ most of Gantt's junk but he said another thing that made a lot of sense.

Fox took a stay at home dad, with 5 NFL pass attempts, and was able to coach an out of shape guy w/ no clue about what Carolina does up and ready to start in 2 practices.......but he couldn't get Pike ready in 6 months?

and people say THIS guy is gonna be a hot "item" next year. Watching the Bears/Phins game and seeing all the former head coaches that are now coordinators made me think of Foxy.

One was a Vet.. the other a rookie.. Fox didn't have to coach anyone up in Vinny's case..

(I guess you are referring to Vinny T)

No, St. Pierre. Two practices and that was all it took for Fox to claim an out of shape stay at home dad needed to be ready to start ahead of Pike.

We were going to lose with Pike, Armanti or St. Pierre... so does it really matter?

I think so. This front office was committed to the youth movement. Why not start Pike or Armanti and see what they've got? There is no better time, especially in Armanti's case. A perfect storm of sorts occurred that opened up at least the possibility of him starting, and I doubt it ever happens again.

As for Pike, he's a sixth-round pick who may not even be here next year, depending on what the incoming coach does with the quarterback situation. At least see what he's got. I guess Fox and Co. just don't care though, since they won't be here anyway.

I'm not defending St. Pierre, but this stay at home dad with 5 passing attempts has been around the NFL for eight years, which counts for something.

sure it matters. Reps are reps. In a lost season...why give reps to a St. Pierre? Makes no sense to have St. Pierre ahead of Pike and really it makes no sense to have any WR not named Smith/Gettis/LaFell ahead of Armanti now on the depth chart.

A few last thoughts on St.Pierre-gate before I pack it in for the night. 1) Fox is acting like he's got his next job in hand already,Because otherwise, you wouldn't so blatantly and wantonly disrespect the boss who's paying you $6.5 million or the GM you call a friend. And if you can school the out-of-work for 10-months St. Pierre up in two practices, why couldn't you get Pike there in six months?

Vinny history: If out-of-shape St.Pierre (signed to be stable pony) actually plays whole game, he won't be physically able to next week.

I've wracked my brain, and for the life of me, can't find a rational reason for this move, other than pure spite.

A nice article on the Observer here

It is what it is – and that's mutiny

Losing confers freedom. The more you lose the more freedom you have. As the coach of a one-victory team, John Fox can do anything he wants.

He proved it Thursday when he announced that Brian St. Pierre, who on Friday celebrates his one-week anniversary as a Carolina Panther, will start at quarterback.

Being committed to the youth movement does not mean start a 6th round rookie, that needs to be bigger, came from a spread offense...against the ravens defense. That would be beyond stupid. But cause the fans want more pike now, they gotta throw more incredibly stupid poo against the wall.

The thing is, its not going to matter who starts. The way our qbs have been falling, pikes going to get in there.

Many of you should be locked up in a mental ward.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
