Tip of the cap to Panthers' Fox


Laetitia

Recommended Posts

In case you haven't heard, the Carolina Panthers have won the right to make the first pick in the NFL draft next spring.p/That presupposes the notion that there will be another NFL season and the excitement, such as it is, is based largely on the hope that Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck is two things: not enrolled for his junior season at Palo Alto and somewhere close to as good as advertised.

All in all, John Fox is a great person. We met him several times and he was always good to us. When he had all the pieces, his brand of football was effective. His problems were due to the front office failing to address the QB, DT, and WR positions over the years. Watch how hard the 2-13 Panthers are playing and that is all you need to know about Fox. I am not saying he should stay, but we could have done worse when we hired him and we could argue that we could have done no better. He was here 9 years and guided us to 2 NFC title games and a Super Bowl appearance. That is about as good as the New Orleans Saints since they were formed. Good man.

    • Tell me something I don’t know. I said right there in what you quoted I wasn’t optimistic. I said I could still be hopeful. Which ain’t the same but will have to do.  I have optimism regarding more compartmentalization aspects of the team. Some players. The good draft we had is cause for optimism. Maybe that Tepper is actually being less harmful. Maybe.  I had some for Canales but his meter is about 50% right now with me.  Etc
    • Got a little more juice in us this period. Gotta get these chances to start falling. Ducks and us keep getting these chippies that are missing. First team to start banging these in and I think the floodgates open.
    • The things that make people give up on him is that he is getting worse in terms of simple football things and he isn't improving on much in terms of being a WR. He has improved his drops but then he has increased his insanely boneheaded penalties. I mean, the dude has THREE false start penalties. That is the second most on the team.  Couple that with his obvious limitations in terms of field vision, agility, etc and you just start to wonder what there really is to even believe in. I'll put it this way, when such a notoriously terrible personnel management coach like Canales gives up on you, that's saying a lot. He has ridden more bums for longer than any of us care to remember.
