Interesting Quote from DeAngelo Williams

[KillerKat]

John Fox and Co. made this team more relevant than anyone prior to the arrival of Cam Newton. I'll never get the hate that is thrown at him. I think most of you that toss out hateful remarks are just bandwagon bitches that jumped in after the Super Bowl appearence.

3 winning seasons out of 9.

I have no hate for John Fox.

But am I glad that he's in Denver and Ron Rivera's in Charlotte?

:yesnod:

No back to back winning seasons or playoff runs.

I'm surprised I'm the first to say it but, that doesn't have to be a jab at Fox. Yes, it is well understood between us fanboys that that was his go to line; but is it impossible to think that Williams just likes the quote with Fox having nothing to do with it?

Pretty sure DeAngelo said earlier in the off-season "it is what it is is no more." If that's not a jab at Fox, IDK what is. So, yes, I do find it impossible to think that Williams actually likes the quote.

I see what you did there...

Fox was a good coach for a while and a great motivator. He always has a competitive defense but the man knows nothing about offense and totally lacks the "go for the kill" mentality needed for today's game. He also sucks as developing skill positions and would rather ride on established talent in guys like Steve Smith, Deangelo, Beason, etc. because he's so inept at it.

[iampantherman]

Fox's football philosophy left such a slim margin for error. His style is, for better or worse, an antiquated approach to the game. His ilk will soon be the dinosaurs of the NFL.

Having said that I appreciate the turn-around he brought after our Seifert era. But I am very excited for the Rivera administration. I think he has an aggressiveness that would terrify John Fox.

"It is what it is, until you do something about it.

Probably said it first in an email he sent to JR two years ago.

[Mr. Scot]

No source given, but I kinda wonder if this is something Rivera said.

Rivera isn't the type to trash another coach in public, but this is the kind of thing I could see being said in a private conversation (perhaps discussing things Williams didn't like or was unhappy about under the old regime).

[jarhead]

Fox did a lot for this franchise. Turned it around more quickly than probably 95% of the coaches out there could have. However, like it was already stated fox was reactive and after years of not making the adjustments and not improving the team in a major way something had to be done.

My main beef with him is he lacked offensive vision and would not relingish control to someone who had it.

Yeah I agree that the one you just posted was a jab at Fox, I just don't think we should jump the gun and think any quote which includes It is what it is is towards Fox. Many players still had a high level of respect for Fox when he left...including myself as a fan (though I'm not saying I don't think the change wasn't what may be best for both parties)

[CatMan72]

LOL and people thought DeAngelo might want to follow Fox to Denver... sounds like most of these guys were sick of Fox, just like me.

I think Fox's biggest failure was his failure to inspire anybody. The team went into games with the "just don't screw up" mentality and when you play with that mentality you almost certainly screw up, Denver got a taste of that last week.
