Interesting Quote from DeAngelo Williams

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?

No. In some interview right after the lockout and asked about the new coach, he said something about "no more it is what it is".

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.

Didn't these guys develop under Fox?

Steve Smith made his own man. Beason was bound to be great. Deangelo was riding the pine because of Fox's love for veterans.

Name one WR or QB that Fox developed into a main contributor. The only WR worth a damn was Carter and as far as QB's goes, Matt Moore played well in-spite of Fox not because of him.

Beason was a huge fan of Fox.

I'm sure many players loved Fox. Just like they loved his week off in TC every year. Beason would have been a monster anywhere he went. Deangelo should have been starting or at least taking majority snaps by his second year.

Fox was stubborn as hell and didn't scheme to our players strengths. As said before the Fox philosophy has no margin for error.

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.

fuging this.. \/

Fox rode the going to the SuperBowl ride to the point he got away with piss poor coaching.

I appreciate what he did for the team, but in the end he set us back more than he moved us forward.

if y'all don't understand that, y'all don't understand english. Fox did good things compared to where we came from, but Fox had as many flaws (if not more) as he had positives.. and for that, he will never get a statue, so move the fug on. ;)

I wonder how many of the posters on this board are as obsessed with old girlfriends as they are Fox. The hate is just stupid, bordering on weird.

The guy was and is a good coach, but he never got over the hump here. Maybe he will in Denver, maybe not, but I'm far happier with what he did than any other coach in Panthers history, and if Rivera can match it or do better that would be great.

Having Cam won't hurt, as far as that's concerned. :)

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
