what ever happened to fox/davidson being the problem?


Recommended Posts

with all the finger pointing at the QB position, what ever happened to fox/davidson's ridiculous play calling being the achilles of the offense?

would any QB stand a chance under a system that had become as predictable as the sun rising and setting every day?

i am of the belief that the change in staff alone is the shot in the arm that the team needs.

It's a problem but it sure as hell wasn't the only one QB has been a major issue since 2008.

but what's the root of the problem, the QBs or the system?

since 2008, how many QBs (rookies and veterans) have come in and failed?

if the fans and game announcers can see what's coming when the team lines up, what do opposing teams' defensive coordinators see?

Clausen was overwhelmed at the speed of the game.He threw it away because Fox told him when it doubt throw it out.I have seen even manning and Brady play bad when the defense had ther number.We were very predicible and that is not a good thing in the NFL.As Riveria noted we had many thing wrong in our offense but Clausen took the fall.He desevered most of it but not all. Evidence of that is Moore looked bad last year as well compared to the year before.I hope alot of lessons were learned.

we were arguably the best team in the NFC in 2008 despite the lame playcalling......that was the last year w/ had "average" QB play for a season. It was painfully predictable in 2008.....just as painful as 09 and 10.

Foxball was what it was and if the season was tanking because of it, so be it. Everybody knew what was coming. In years following the Fox's first several here, opposing teams got it. Here is what they run and they don't deviate from it. It's up to the defense to stop it. Finally people did figure out how to stop it for the most part and Fox never adapted to the fact that just lining up and running the ball will not always get the job done. He was blinded by the success, though spotty and not willing to ackowledge the shortcomings.

    • It goes deeper than that for me. When I started watching the Panthers as a kid I fell in love with Mark Fields’ story during that SB run. He wore #58. Then TD wore it and kept the tradition of the being the soul of the Panthers. The next time someone wears #58 I hope brings that same spirit 
    • T-Mac is a nickname, Tet is a shortening of Tetairoa. Like you said below... your name is Jonathan, I could see "Jonny" being considered a nickname, but Jon isn't a nickname, it's a shortening of Johnathan, see the difference? And if your mom named you Jonathan for it's biblical significance/meaning, because she was very religious, I think it would be different. T-Mac is Polynesian, so much in their culture has deeper meaning for them, particularly names.  So for his mom to feel this way, I highly doubt it's just because she likes the name Tetairoa and not Tet, it's much more likely than not to be because the name itself has a deeper meaning in their culture.   Particularly as T-Mac himself has often talked about how much his Polynesian heritage means to himself and his family. And no, I'm not saying all this because of how much he's my guy, if he was just "normal american" and his name was Jonathan and he didn't like fans calling him Jon, I'd probably just say tough poo.  It's that he's Polynesian and I know things like names have a much deeper meaning in their culture than they do in ours for the most part. For whatever it's worth, a quick google search.......
