Did John Fox get more out of his team last year than Ron Rivera has this year?

-Lame duck coach starting a rookie QB

- WR's decimated by injuries including his all world WR

- RBs decimated last year by injuries

- no offensive targets at all last year

- Lost Gross, Otah out of the O-line last year

- No tight end options

- Still dealt with no true DT's

Ron Rivera this year has:

- Healthy WR corps

- Plethora of capable tight ends

- Healthy RB group

- still without quality DTs

- Lost all pro MLB

I just think that Coach Fox got "more" out of this team last year given what he had to work with then Ron Rivera has this year.

Did you watch any of the games last year? It was like watching a highschool team trying to compete in the nfl, It was very painful to say the least.

john fox also had the benefit of an installed system and culture that had been in place for several years, whereas rivera's team has been learning on the go and is still learning

comparing fox's system to our current system is like comparing middle school to college as far as complexity goes on both defense and offense

      The ball keeps getting pushed down the field. Most of the 2nd rounders won't get full guarantees but they'll get a good chunk of the contract guaranteed. So let's say it's 75%. At the end of the day we're talking about a couple of million over the course of a four year deal. Basically a rounding error in terms of salary cap impact. It's much ado about nothing.

      Agents only have the upper hand if they think/expect the teams to cave in the end, but that 30 of the 2nd rounders remain unsigned, it shows the Agents might not have it in this case.  A 2nd round pick isn't going to sit out their rookie season as a holdout to re-enter the draft the next year and improve their draft stock and/or ability to stick in the NFL, you really need to be an elite QB prospect to even have the remote chance of doing that successfully. Teams have to draw a line somewhere, if they all say the line is the 1st round, then there isn't much the Agents can do about it if the teams all hold firm, which they should. And yes, you're right about the rookie wage scale, which is exactly why I don't think the Agents will be winning this battle in the end.  The teams know they already screwed up rookie contracts once, they aren't going to fall down that slippery slope again and let it snowball on it's way down.

      Then we had some impressive coaches to finish 8th from worst plus all of our injuries.  Titans and Raiders were pretty bad as well.
