Interesting Quote from DeAngelo Williams

[Mr. Scot]

Correct me if I"m wrong, but from what I remember, only one player actually did follow Fox to Denver (Rosario) and Fox cut him.

[Kurb]

I think Denver was Rosario's only suitor at the time.

Glad he got picked up by Miami. Maybe he can make the best of it.

:lol: Fox haters

Fox isnt anything special of a coach, sure he took us to the superbowl. But we were always an inconsistent team with him. And for a player like dwill to diss him TWO times, says this team was in much need of a change.

[Kurb]

This is the same DWill that Fox refused to start over DESHAUN FOSTER

[CosmoGirl]

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?

[OneBadassCat]

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.

[Brooklyn Bully]

Fox MADE DeAngelo here. If it weren't for his run first philosophy, the 1100 yd season would've never happened. And can we chill on Rivera Is God until he wins a game? Kthnx.

Beason was a huge fan of Fox.

[OneBadassCat]

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. ;)

[Cyberjag]

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. :)

[jtnc]

He made this team relevant? He also made this team the laughing stock of the league, was ALSO the coach who kept Jake in that playoff game instead of benching him. Coach who started Foster over Williams, and Brown over Johnson.
