Obviously depends what team he has around him. He's shown he can be damn good with a decent team and pretty bad with a bad team.

I do think he can win a championship with the right supporting cast.

Moore wasn't given a fair shot this year. You have to give a guy at least 4 games before you pull him. Yet, he was light years better than Clausen.

Those things are definitely possible. My point is that when it became obvious that he was sucking in that system, there was no effort made to evolve. Jimmy very well could have been (and may be) just as terrible with different philosophy and playcalling, but a good coach at least makes the attempt.

Clausen aside, how many other times have we the fans observed Fox's inability to adjust? It's not an isolated thing, and it's not a sign of a good coach.

How many times has a coach been force fed a QB he didn't want then had to play him then decided to change his whole offensively philosophy for said player?

That's a little much don't you think?

Just saw this quote from John Elway in the story from the Denver Post:

John has coached great defenses, turned teams around and been to Super Bowls."

Uh, you might want to re-read that resume, Mr. Elway.

Yeah, when the coach pulls the QB down a score in a winnable game, it screams that it wasn't his decision and it could have been the FO trying to keep the rowdy crowd happy.

Oh well, if he's given a shot to compete I think he easily wins the job against Clausen and some other FA but who knows if he'll get that shot.

I'm convinced that John Fox will mesh perfectly in the Denver pro sports scene. Here's the proof.

This is a quote from another Denver coach, George Karl, regarding the possible Carmelo trade. I swear I can't make this poo up...

"I think the chances of this team being somewhat what it is, is probably just as much as the possibility of it not being (what it is),"

Pure gold!

This front office probably hamstrung the guy for years. Losing probably had more to do with the owners check book in the past as well. I'm sure he couldn't have the free agents he wanted and at the end of his tenure he was expected to babysit young players when we all know he wanted vets.

El Cheapo was the real problem.

If he wants to win, something has to give.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Exactly He's played two seasons and started 28 games. He's well beyond the point of being able to point to 2 or 3 games and being able to say, "THAT is the QB he is and will be in the future" Of course he can get there, but anyone trying to use just those couple of games to rank his place amongst the games QB's today and their full career's worth of playing at that level, is just asinine. Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Burrow, Hurts, Herbert, Daniels, Stafford, Goff, Geno, Purdy, Baker, Love, Dak, Tua, Kyler, Lawrence That's 17 QB's right there that have played better over their careers than Bryce has played at his best.  And I'm not saying they're all studs or guys I'd want to be our QB moving forward, Tua for example I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole, but his body of work is a million times better than Bryce's has been. It's also not including any of the other QB's drafted in 2023/2024 other than Daniels. So again, say you believe in Bryce, say you think he's going to prove he can and should be our QB of the future, that's all fair and totally fine. But nobody can say he's been an above average QB in his career thus far, it's just an asinine notion.

      I'd think we could get one of those from Dallas for... whatever.
