Whatever fate is in store for either of them, I don't believe we should see, say, for example a 4-12 season, and people chomping at the bit on here to make excuses and cop outs for both of them.

Nobody should be untouchable here. If Fox/Hurney can get us to the playoffs, hell if they can get us to .500 or better, they can get another shot. Expanding on that thought about "untouchable" that's exactly part of the gripe with Delhomme, though not to change the subject, but I don't want to see an utter failure and no repercussions for poor performance.

There are always repercussions for poor performance. Look at all the new coaches in the NFL and it is easy to see that it is hard to keep your job in this league. Richardson knows football having played it as a pro and he also knows what it takes to win at this level. He is not someone to suffer fools lightly or to put up with poor performance. He built his businesses with savvy and great judgment. You can surely know that like Capers and Seifer before him, if Fox loses the team or fails to deliver, he will be gone. Under Fox we have never gone worse than 7-9 which doesn't qualify as utter failure by any means.

I agree and I do not like all of what Fox dose but the fact is he is a good coach and has done what is needed to be done. There has been alot of hate spread around for a team that went 12-4 last year but this is a new year and I feel we have made the right moves so far.

Bottom line is anyone who thinks that Fox and Hurney will be gone no matter what their record this year are wrong. So even if he said what you think he did, it doesn't matter. Peppers will be gone long before Fox or Hurney are.

And for what it is worth, I still think I am right. But again does it matter? Unless this guy's last name is Richardson, what he says doesn't mean squat.

:lol: You cant admit that you read it wrong. Come on you dont have to be always right.

I'm sorry, but contextually that sentence makes no sense if it refers to Fox and Hurney.

Why would they trade a player that can help them win now for draft picks they won't be around to use?

Bingo

It HAS to be referring to the team trading FOR Peppers.

What it is essentially saying is that any FO that has under performed throughout their tenure and are on the chopping block can have a first round pick in this draft just gone AND trade for Peppers. It allows them to add two players, whereas before the draft only allowed them to have the one.

The proof is that the other 'team' is the subject matter int he first sentence, Carolina is only referenced to.

The other proof is that we simply never had a first round pick. So how on Earth can Carolina "have their first-round pick and trade it, too."

So

:lol: You cant admit that you read it wrong. Come on you dont have to be always right.

I believe it is you who needs to admit they are wrong ;)

Laughing at the idea that Fox and Hurney are on thin ice.

why its true...they never had back to back playoffs..there was once talk about fireing dungy because they had the feeling he could not win the big game...and fox is not immune to the same thing..that and the fact some big name coaches prob will come out of retirement next year..

I am really excited to see what Peppers is going to do along with Everette Brown. For the first time since Mike Rucker (and in his younger days) we have a legitimate duel pass rush threat. Its just that Peppers maybe has a good 2 years left and I think it would benefit us long term to trade him now while he still has value. If Peppers becomes more of a distraction and continues his efforts then we must do what we can to get rid of him, save some cash, and pick up some possibly great young players through the draft the next couple years, even if it is not two first rounders.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By CRA · Posted

      You do, the guy who doesn’t appear to grasp projection.  as the entire board knows, I do in fact, take positions.  The position here I have taken is that Bryce Young is a weak bottom tier starting QB, without NFL starting QB tools, that we must move on from.

      The OP for one. Asserting that people blamed Bryce for the loss in the title of the thread. That was not the prevailing sentiment at the time this thread was created. Very much a minority thing, I don’t remember but maybe one person if that, putting it on Bryce as the main reason. Troll thread. Did a good job too. Look at the pages.  Someone counting up the draft picks as 10 on offense and 10 on defense or whatever the number was, today or yesterday - of which the offensive ones were heavily 1s and 2s and the defensive picks were heavily day 3 and declaring that proof that the offense wasn’t favored like people claim. The obvious neglect we watched for two years. I spent time refuting that bullshit because someone needed to.  People saying we are bad horrible people and hate poor lil Bryce for no reason, as if it is a personal thing. Constantly.   Along the same lines is people saying we non Bryce fans would rather lose than have him play well and the team wins. That we are mad when the team wins   Point illustrated.
