Mike Klis of the Denver Post believes Fox will name The Golden Calf of Bristol the starter, possibly as soon as tomorrow (link)

If a coaching decision was indeed handed down from Elway this early in things, it wouldn't speak very well of Fox's potential longevity there.

How a team could take a coach from a 2-14 team and hire him is baffling to me.

Say what you want about our talent base last year, the guy's resume is only 3 winning years in 9, and an overall record of 2 more wins than losses in 140+ games.

And to top it all off, he lame ducked us. You don't want someone who will give up like that to come in and try and lead a team. At least I wouldn't. Hell, Rivera is strugling to undo the legacy Fox left behind.

Who knows... maybe The Golden Calf of Bristol will make Fox's rolling in crap smell like roses... but I somehow doubt it.

what's funny to me is before 2010 how all the fox homers used to talk about him never going under 7-9, and then afterwards, changing the argument to "well he's never gone worse than 7-9 with good talent"

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.

      We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
