John Fox thinks we pass on Cam Newton

Now we get to see how much of Hurney's decisions are his own or similar to what Fox always wanted. Fox would never take Newton and is likely to take Dareus if he is there at number 2.

I wonder if Fox agreed we should take Clausen last year as well as Pike. How about Edwards?? Seems at least last year Hurney did his own thing and didn't follow Fox's lead like in the past.

How so?

I was mostly being a smartass, but I do think this team has turned away from the old "Fox way" of doing things. I don't think Fox has much in the way of inside information and I do think that if Hurney was sold on Newton he'd be the choice. I think that Hurney does believe that you need a QB in this league now. But is Newton that QB? Dunno. I think he wants Dareus himself but he isn't sure he'll be there. Maybe he's hoping weighing in will somehow cause an early announcement (but seems unlikely).

He may also be trying to put it out there because NFL teams made trades in advance of the draft (obviously with the caveat that player must be there) so this could be a way of getting people to make some calls.

That's why his ass is in Denver and not here! I think he's calling out Hurney... he's using reverse psychology to make Hurney pick newton so that Dareus is there for him to gobble up. Who really cares though?

I can guarentee that for the first time in a long time Fo will have NOTHING to do with our draft... Let's see how we do without him

I would assume that if he's asked a question, he answers it... and since it's not the team he's coaching, he can answer honestly. :D

Yeah. I mean, is someone trying to keep asking him about his old team instead of asking him about his current team he's coaching now?? :p

He definitely won't get 9 years there, that's for sure. I say he's on the hot seat after two, and gone in 3.

Doubt it. I think he will last longer more than you guys think. More than McDaniels for sure. :D :D

Makes sense.

Just saw it on NFL Network. He said, "I know Hurney, and I am not sold he will take Cam Newton. I think they will take Dareus". This would explain why the Broncos are looking for trade down options.. they don't think Dareus will be on the board. Anyways, thought that was interesting to hear Fox's take.

Fox is more knowledgable about our team needs than anyone.

excellent news.

      Souring on Canales

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I have no strong opinion either way. I mean, for those who are out, do you really expect Tepper to hire anyone better? So far, Canales has probably been his best coaching hire. Granted, that's an extremely low bar to clear but I'm just saying it's not like there's a line of great candidates beating down the door begging to work for Tepper. Going 5-5 with the worst QB play in the league isn't terrible. Now with that said, I expect to start getting the hell beaten out of us now that the Saints have shown what I thought was obvious all along - sell out against the run and stack the box and absolutely force us to have to throw the ball and it basically makes the game unwinnable for a Bryce Young QB'd team.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By amcoolio · Posted

      You're letting your hatred for him cloud your judgement, you can't say with 100% certainty that Bryce can't play anywhere else, especially since everyone here said the same about Darnold and Mayfield and are now backtracking to say "well they had the skills all along"... absolutely nobody was saying that at the time. You are forgetting that the Panthers are currently a poverty franchise that taints everything they touch, it is absolutely in the realm of possibility that Bryce sits for a few years and then looks like Mac Jones does right now. But I agree that it won't happen here, and the Panthers have to move on.

      That was me. Overall it has tightened up. Kickoffs are good. FGs are good normally. Punting game is good. PR isn’t bad. I didn’t see what happened on the block, who let the guy through. I knew we were putting a couple of new guys out there but thought they we gunner types. Chisena.
