What does Broncos' hiring of Fox say about Panthers?

What, if anything, does Denver's hiring of John Fox say about the Panthers as an organization? Many analysts agree that Denver is one of the top coaching jobs in the NFL, so John Fox is arguably in a much better situation today than he was three weeks ago. Large media market, large fan base, rich history, beautiful city, blah blah blah...makes Denver the place to be. What more could a coach ask for?

Now, I believed it was just time for the Panthers and Fox to part the ways, but looking at how the last couple of years have gone down, isn't there an argument that, on some level, it makes the Panthers organization even more odd than it has appeared to be the last couple of years, from the renewing of Jake's contract, the allowing of Pep to freely walk away, the refusal to deal Williams and/or Smith before the trade deadline, to the jettisoning of so many vets at key positions.

What say the Huddle?

What does it say? That John Elway is one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. That fact =/= knowing how to run a team. Most GMs work their way up, grinding at scouting, personnel work, etc., before getting even a sniff of running a franchise. Could Elway pull it off? Sure. It's possible. He could also be the next Matt Millen.

Fox has a resume that has him getting blown out as a D-Coordinator in the Super Bowl and coming very close to winning one as a HC. 3 winning seasons out of 9 isn't that impressive...he merely offers some semblance of stability, which Denver hasn't had since Shanahan (who IMO Denver would have been better off keeping if they've turned to John Fox now)

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
