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.

      He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes

      Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.

      I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
