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.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
