John Fox Embarrassed? Not a Fan of Clausen?

Obviously he's embarrassed, as many of the guys who have any sort of pride or competitiveness associated with this team are... Including myself as a fan. Check this quote out from Foxy today:

#Panthers coach John Fox on small crowd: "I can hardly blame our fans"

Because he doesn't want to be here either.

I am also starting to wonder how much of playing Clausen despite his horrible play is his decision. This is speculative, but Clausen threw it away later in the game, I think it was in the 4th. Clausen was standing behind the line, who despite pressure, seemed to form a wall in front of him and nobody got through, FOR ONCE. Well, Clausen hopped around for a minute and then scrambled to his right I believe, then he stopped around the numbers, looked downfield and threw it out of bounds anyway, IIRC.

The camera went to Fox and when it showed him, he was standing there with his eyes closed like he couldn't believe it. Then he just shook his head and started walking around and talking on his headset. I don't know if that was directed towards the playcall, but I have a feeling it was more towards the guy in there executing it - Clausen. So, I'm wondering if Fox really believes Clausen is the best QB we have right now but the decision is out of his hands.

He also gave a less than supportive quote during the week on whether he believes in Clausen, I just can't remember it now. Regardless, in his statements and his reactions on Gamedays, I don't think Clausen is his guy... But, I guess he's just biding his time like he was in prison. WGAF.

      Btw... only Mitch fugging Marner has a better +/- than Key 🔑!!! And, Mitchy needed 5 more games and almost 100 more shifts to get there.

      I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.

      Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
