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.

      He's handing off play calling duties to fuging Brad Idzik as well so, either that mouth breather can run the playbook and Canales can grow as an all around head coach or it will be a horrible decision and both of them and BY can screw off. I'm fine with that as long as it isn't just another excuse for BY to get another year with another coach worthy of working around his limitations as a qb.

      Not only for Andersen but the whole team, having not beat the Habs this season before tonite.  Shows them that they aren't jinxed.

      I understand why people say things like it could be worse in relation to Tepper but it just doesn't jive for me. Are the optics bad? Yes. Would I want her to be the owner of my team? No. But I mean she's only been owner for a year and the Colts overall are a better run organization. As far as I know they've also never had the distinction of having the worst win percentage in all of professional sports either. Tepper has owned this team for 8 years and about the only thing that has been consistent has been the ability to continue to find different ways to achieve new lows. Even now people are saying things are different yada yada but we said these same things at certain points under Rhule Fitterer and Reich. I'm going to wait to see how the rubber meets the road this upcoming season before I make any strong conclusions about anything in relation to the longevity under this franchise going forward.
