Players comment on Fox's most disappointing season

When asked if this has been his most disappointing season ever, coach John Fox said. "Yeah, considering it took until this point to be double digit losses I would say that is a fair assessment.” Fox has never had a double-digit loss season in previous 20 years as an NFL assistant or head coach.

DE Charles Johnson on John Fox: "He's a good guy, man. He's the type of coach that you want to follow. Fox, you learn so much from him, just being around him and how he coaches. He treats you like a man, he respects you and he respects his players."

John Fox on how this year's 1-12 record affects his legacy as Panthers coach: “I think the staff, the players here and myself included I think we’ve done absolutely the best job we could possibly do. I will be able to look myself in the mirror when I walk away from here.”

More from TE Jeff King on John Fox: "All of us here in this locker room, it would serve us right to play hard for him because he has a good reputation and his word goes a long way around the league. As a person and a player that has been here five years, I love playing for him. I will continue to play hard for him because he deserves that.”

TE Jeff King on John Fox's legacy: "I have a tremendous amount of respect for him. Three more games or however long we are together, I’m going to fight my ass off for him. He’s that kind of coach. He’s always in his player’s corner, and that is all you can ask for.”

I still think he will be a HC again, likely soon...

Whats a player supposed to say? "Yeah, he really phoned it in this year". Yeah, smart, burn your bridges with a soon to be head coach of another team when you may be a free agent yourself soon.

Doesn't get much fluffier than this piece.

I actually think they genuinely like the guy, but okay.

      Noah Fant? "Perfect fix?" More like imperfect fix.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I've liked him since his rookie year as a prospect, but when he's been asked to play in a large capacity, he has simply not done well.   He does not really add anything, rather muddies up the room.  Fant is TERRIBLE as a blocker, a pure receiving TE.   Let's just put Tremble aside since he's PUP (although I still like him as a TE2, but yeah he's not our future starter)... Sanders has already shown better receiving skills than a Fant and has a nice ceiling.  Not to mention, he's got in-line run blocking skills.  I really want to see what he's capable of this year.  Also has a year+ experience now in Canales' offense, not to mention legit chemistry with Bryce. And after Sanders, I also imagine our staff is waiting to see how Mitchell Evans looks in camp as he's got the in-line blocking skills.  If he looks fully capable of filling in behind Sanders, then I don't see a need.  Overall, keep an eye out on early August moves.  They are usually soft indicators of how staff's view their rookie late rounders and roster overall.  This is a wait and see what the market presents and how they think their unit looks in camp.

      Every team has different needs of the backup QB.   On some teams a young hopeful makes sense and on others an old worn out dude makes sense.  We are a little more in the in-between IMO where you probably would prefer a Fields, Pickett, Howell type IMO.   So a young disappoint that you there is still some hail mary hope in.....given BY essentially was benched both seasons for performance (I know that's not the official line going into Seattle but I think most would agree he got a break and should of been benched later that year).  I know we want Bryce to be the week 17 guy all season this upcoming year.  But it's still in the reasonable thought process that the other dude could show back up.

      I wouldn't mind it if they bring him in cheap for competition. I would imagine he would vie for the 3rd TE spot with the rookie.
