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

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      You keep mentioning the impact on the salary cap, but that's literally not the point with all these 2nd Rounders, it's all about precedent and it being a slippery slope that would lead to more fully guaranteed contracts for veterans. That's what the teams are making sure this doesn't get to, because yes, you're right, the guarantees for a 2nd rounder won't have significant cap implications if the player doesn't work out.  But you give that fully guaranteed 3-4 year contract to a FA who then shits the bed in year 1 and never regains the form that got them the contract, then yes, it's going to screw up your cap management and won't be a rounding error. And you can say it's a big leap to go from guaranteeing a 2nd round pick's contract to a big FA signing, but it's really not.  Once teams start giving them out, it's only going to keep growing and be insisted upon by agents in other situations and once the ball starts rolling down the hill, it's going to be impossible to stop it's momentum. Also, the only reason a 2nd rounder's contract would be a rounding error, is explicitly because contracts aren't guaranteed and teams can finagle the cap hits with various tactics.  Once contracts become more and more guaranteed, that won't be as easy to do, if even possible at all, and those individual rounding errors become serious problems in totality.

      Yep!  Jake wanted to stay. It’s been reported a lot that he did. Tulsky waited too long to give him that contract.

      He's still unsigned, due to injury I think. He should be able to play this year, but I think teams are just waiting for more clarity before signing him.
