John Fox getting mad

About criticism his staff has gotten for their role in developing The Golden Calf of Bristol. Still think it was really his decision to start him?

"As a coach or decision-maker in an NFL building, you don't care what round they're drafted in, you don't care who drafted them," Fox said. "You don't care if they're short, fat, whatever. You just care: Can they play? So all that other stuff is poppycock.

"The problem is, there's so much misinformation. For people that study it, you'd see that we've probably had more shotgun or spread offense than anybody in the league over the last two weeks. We're up 30% of what we were in the first four games.

"The goofy thing is, it's almost like if he doesn't have success it will be anybody's fault but his. It's almost that kind of polarizing thing. They'll say it could be his supporting cast, or the type of plays. At the end of the day, we are what we are. We're doing everything we can to win, and we're finding out about a young quarterback, good, bad or indifferent."

He must hate The Golden Calf of Bristol about right now. I don't get it dude, I mean obviously Kyle Orton isn't a pro bowl QB or anything, but there is no way that he's not better than The Golden Calf of Bristol at this point. A bad situation indeed for Foxy.

oil and water.

i couldn't think of a worse situation for fox and a worse coach for that situation.

we are not denver broncos fans, though. fox is not our concern. we have fortunately moved on from him and i imagine it's only a matter of time before broncos fans are saying the same thing.

It is true though. John Fox doesn't have the offensive innovation to utilize a player like The Golden Calf of Bristol. He isn't going to be a classic drop back passer.

At this point I don't think The Golden Calf of Bristol is a legit NFL QB but he has certain attributes that could be utilized to at least get them through the year.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
