The PFT/Mike Florio Take on Fox and QB

Here's what showed up on PFT this afternoon:

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/11/20/john-fox-defends-decision-to-go-with-brian-st-pierre/

Faced with suspicion that he’s engaging in a passive-aggressive mutiny against a team that is certain to fire him after the season, Panthers coach John Fox defended on Friday his decision to dust off Brian St. Pierre and install him as the team’s starting quarterback on Sunday against the Ravens.

“All our decisions are based on right away who gives us the best chance to win,” Fox said after practice on Friday, according to Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer. “I think [rookie Tony Pike] understands that. I think everyone in that locker room understands that.”

“He understands he’s a young player learning. It’s really pretty easy to understand.”

What’s harder to understand is the decision to have no veteran backup previously on the roster behind Jimmy Clausen, who has a concussion. If Pike isn’t deemed to be good enough to play, why was he No. 2 on the depth chart?

Fox also says that he hasn’t considered using receiver Armanti Edwards, a former quarterback at Appalachian State, in a Wildcat-style single-wing package because of “time management” concerns.

We’re not sure how the Panthers currently are managing their time, but it ain’t working.

So...PFT and Florio aside. Who thinks this season is going to hurt Fox' reputation? I mean for some reason everybody loves him for a high profile job next year. But does this season hurt him? St.Pierre? Come on, that shows more than any move he is not trying to win or even be competitive. Almost like he is sticking it to JR.

Could have gotten Colt Brennan instead. Not that was a better choice, but damn...

honstly, who cares about fox's rep. if he gets a job, im not going to hate, if he doesn't im not going to be happy for 20 mins the day i realize he wasnt hired. hes rich, im poor and i just started realizing it doesn't help to hate because someone is always going to have more than u.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      Nobody on the huddle is saying we have an elite group offensively across the board. They aren't great. They're young. If you are expecting someone to agree with your position of blaming everyone around Bryce Young nearly three full seasons into his career you are going to be left holding the bag save for a handful of people who act like they are paid to defend his honor. Bryce Young is not a guy who has had to claw and fight his way into starting jobs in football. He's had the best to work with and been gifted roles since he was a teenager. The Panthers have one of the youngest rosters in the league and with us needing an infusion of young defensive talent in the upcoming draft we're only going to get younger. We need a QB who possesses the ability to elevate those around him. If you can't agree with me on that then there's nothing further to discuss.

      All Bryce and the Panthers had to do was split with the Saints and a rookie QB. The bar was so low. They even had a whole bye week to prepare. The time for singing kumbaya was before that game. Anyone still talking about Bryce earning a second contract 43 games into his career is living a fantasy. He might get one from the Tepper owned Panthers but he's damn sure not earned it.
