The Mr Scot John Fox Thread


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Occurs to me that it might not be a bad idea to have any and all discussion of John Fox centralized in a single thread. Up to the mods whether they agree or not, but that's my take.

Here's the latest from Denver: The Golden Calf of Bristol package limited to one snap against Packers

"That, we did it once and we lost yardage," Fox said. "That wasn't all on him by any stretch, but it didn't prove to be beneficial, so we went in a different direction"

So..one play was enough to judge by. Gotcha :rolleyes:

(heck, Randy Fasani got more chances than that)

Caught a bit of last week's presser. Fox pulled out "the other team practices too" for that one :lol:

I actually thought we could save space, bandwidth, and brainpower by creating a simple:

"Will John Fox Make It To A Second Year In Denver?" thread.

Which is why I came to the NFL Central forum, lol. I think that would get at what all of our bitter fans are dancing around in the repeated "John Fox sucks balls" type threads.

And honestly, I'm starting to think that he won't make it past this year. As passionate as that fanbase is, they're not going to accept his shoulder shrugging style for long, and on top of that, they want The Golden Calf of Bristol and Fox isn't going to give that to them. He showed that renowned stubbornness against GB as they were getting blown out by 28 points or so with 5 mins left in the game and he left Orton in, just to prove his point.

I appreciate what he did when he came here, but it's just becoming more and more evident, he is an NFL dinosaur.

    • I think we have some revisionist around it here because of all the drama around Tepper's involvement. If you pull up any scouting report from the time you'll see the same take. WalterFootball's report sums up the media's thoughts on him well: "Young has everything the NFL is looking for in a quarterback except in terms of weight and height." He was the consensus top QB of his draft and the only real question mark they had about him was whether his body could hold up in the NFL. The infamous Steph Curry comparison the Panthers latched onto came from Albert Breer. The excuses I've heard for him are more anecdotal. Bryce Young's development is the only bullet point most NFL fans have on the Panthers right now. That and the coaching turnover. If you're not actually watching our games it's easy to believe this is just a dysfunctional organization that doesn't know how to unleash this talented Heisman winner.  I've seen media and fans alike run with that narrative way more than criticizing Young outright. Whenever we win there's flocks who use it as proof that the Panthers just need to be patient.  
    • So maybe 1-3 vs playoff teams, going by standings as of today. I guess that is an improvement.  We are just about improved enough to be in purgatory draft wise. It really isn’t so bad in the 1st unless you really want that top QB or maybe edge guy because there are usually plenty of good players at the top but it hurts you some as get deeper in the draft.
