Fox willing to bench Jake

That's good news, at least.

There are a few realities for this season:

1) Fox is going to be the head coach through the end of the season, no matter how poorly the Panthers play.

2) Fox will be incredibly stubborn and shows that off to the media.

However, Fox has benched QBs in the past. He is stubborn, but he is not unmovable. I think that even he is starting to realize Jake may not be the guy.

Of course, I think it's just as likely Jake starts and throws no passes next game. :(

I can't imagine Feely starting over Moore... Give the kid a chance, he can't do worse...

If Fox doesn't make a change, it's more than obvious that he is going to be stubborn until the end to save face... I don't know how that makes sense, but being stubborn often does.

Agreed, Moore certainly won't do any worse than Jake.

We may as well let him get real game time in, so we can see if we can use him as a starter next year.(while we groom a QB we hopefully draft)

He's said almost the exact same thing at least a couple of other times already this season. I have no doubt that he'll start against....Arizona. Oh God, Arizona. This could get ugly if Jake starts yet again.

I am almost positive you are wrong. I know for a fact that last week, Fox emphasized that Jake was his starter. The same was true after week 1. I am unsure of the other weeks, though I doubt it would have come up against Atlanta.

Fairly sure this is the first time we've had him say anything like that this season...

      Cam Newton says being "erased" by panthers has hurt his feelings..

      By Manna · Posted

      This is true. I think guys like TD, Luke, Jake, Gross, Trey Boston all have been positive and hopeful about Panther moves since they retired or left the team. They'll give their opinion about things but arent overly critical. Steve Smith has been critical but since becoming a media guy he's become more neutral, and since being part of the panthers media team (I think?) he's been more Pro-Panthers. Cam has been honest with his takes which I appreciate, and I think being PC in the media is something that won't suit him. Therefore, it makes sense why they'd prefer to not have him around media wise.

      Build up the Dline, just like the Oline

      I think a healthy Derrick Brown solves alot of problems with this current lineup. Losing him was huge. Remember, he usually plays every defensive snap. BTW, I think they should pull back from that. A guy that big should really be at around 70-75% snaps at most.  If they can draft a contributing rookie pass rusher or defensive tackle, and then bring in an above average pass rushing vet, I think this defense takes off - with a healthy D. Brown. Oh and lock up Horn asap. The longer they wait, the more it'll cost. Secondary is good enough - starters and depth. Inside LBs need an upgrade and/or depth injection. They aren't that far off. Injuries have hurt them a ton.

      Who mentioned Sanders or Ward?   You seem off your rocker about not drafting either QB.   I'm just telling you this franchise isn't going to win games until we find a franchise QB. Its really just a fact.
