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.

    • https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46683459/2025-nfl-offseason-tiers-32-teams-best-worst-signings-trades-draft-barnwell Slightly above expectations Highlights: Trading WR Adam Thielen, signing RB Rico Dowdle (one year, $2.8 million), drafting fifth-round TE Mitchell Evans   Disappointments: Re-signing CB Mike Jackson (two years, $10.5 million)   The Panthers chose the right time to move on from Thielen, who had been productive in Carolina before being dealt to Minnesota just before the season. He has been lost in the shuffle there. While the Panthers won't see the fourth-round pick that forms the bulk of the return for Thielen until 2027, getting out from what was owed to a player who has 47 receiving yards in Minnesota is an easy victory. Dowdle has been a revelation since moving into the starting lineup after Chuba Hubbard's injury, becoming one of a handful of players in NFL history to produce consecutive 200-yard scrimmage games. The former Cowboys back was averaging 3 yards per carry before the opportunity, so I'm not sure I would count on him playing like Jim Brown the rest of the way in a rotational role alongside Hubbard. But it's hard to argue that Carolina hasn't already gotten its $2.8 million worth out of the 27-year-old back. Most of Carolina's biggest moves are either tracking to be right around expectation (drafting wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan) or have been impacted by unexpected injuries (signing defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton). Jackson was a pleasant surprise as a starter in 2024, and he hasn't been terrible this season, but most of the big plays against Carolina have come on throws against the former Seahawks cornerback. Overall, though, this has been a very reasonable offseason for the Panthers
    • How would you have taken the guy who was picked ahead of us? That makes no sense.
    • I am not denying that things were said. That wasn’t my point. But carry on this will go nowhere.    Oh snap, the post calling him a liar was like three posts before you jumped in.  what do you get, a post a page?
