John Fox "refuses to rule out signing Michael Vick"


Recommended Posts

I was watching ABC earlier and they were asking him if the Panthers are interested in signing Vick and he said something like even though we have strong quarterbacks i'm still gonna be open on signing Vick.

Carolina Panthers: Head coach John Fox refused to rule out signing Vick, but said "right now we're pretty set at quarterback." The Panthers gave Jake Delhomme a five-year extension in the offseason. (Aug. 2)

I believe in second chances and this guys deserves a second chance and I think it would be great if he played for Carolina. I know its unlikely but it would be amazing with a winner like him on our roster.

he's not coming here.

especially with Kemo now out.

please stop coming in here with your "exciting, new original ideas"

especially when this same garbage is plastered all over the front page

This isnt an idea of mine it is what the HC of the Carolina Panthers said. The Carolina Huddle Forums is meant for us to bring recent news on what is going on with the Panthers. And wtf does Kemo have to do with anything?

Yes, he said, in typical Fox jargon that "they never rule signing anyone out."

it means nothing.

The problem with your post is that it isnt recent news.

Its been posted about 37 times-today.

Kemo has to do with every bit of it.

We have no cap space as it is, would you rather us look at adding another QB at a position that's set, or would you rather us actually address a position(DT) in need, with that tiny amount of cap space we have?

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
