Your John Fox memories


Sam Mills Fan

Recommended Posts

Fox is a good guy, but was so even-keel and under the radar, that I think that many years from now, it will be hard to remember him at all. He was the polar opposite of colorful. Pure Vanilla.

He'll be remembered as the coach who loved his players, and cried when Delhomme was finally released.

I will remember the halftime adjustments.

in all honesty, I will

Remember Arizona.

So many thing about that game.....getting away from the run, poor gameplan or lack thereof, sticking with ineffective players, classic lines like a bad day to have a bad day. That game was so bad it will always pop into my head when I think of Fox......everything that made him a not a great coach wrapped up into one game.

I loved Fox (no homo)

I thank him for what he did for our franchise...

Fox is the reason we were called the "Cardiac Cats" he would take the game down to the wire and somehow we would pull out a win

I'll remember that incredible Superbowl run he lead us on, and I'd remark after a close and hard fought win, "John is as sly as a Fox."

One of the best memories:

2003 when I was traveling somewhere listening to the game on the radio. We were playing Indianapolis when they were undefeated and had just come off of scoring nearly a 100 points in the last two games. Fox called a brilliant game, and we won it in overtime. I remember thinking that we might have us a pretty good coach and team, and I was right.

One of the worst:

Fox sticking with Delhomme way to long last year and in the playoff game against Arizona. Loyalty is a wonderful thing, but there is a limit to how much one should show.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
