Why Fox gets away with this crap

Small time local media stinks.

In bigger markets when coaches are being idiots the local media legitimately calls them on it. In Carolina, Fox can do anything...and nothing much is said but some fluff garbage. Fox (not Jake) deserves legit heat from the local media....that will help the heat go national and for Fox to feel the real heat he deserves. He should be getting equal Jim Zorn caliber heat right now...if not worse than Zorn.

Fans can moan. The media needs to help get the ball rolling. The Big Cat doesn't mind the Carolina Huddle erupting....he will finally acknowledge how bad Fox sucks when it is talked about daily on ESPN....that is where the media and local guys need to get this rolling.

Reporters are suppose to be unbiased....an unbiased reporter would call Fox out and do it loudly. What do we have in Charlotte? Guys who will not do there job when it is needed.

he went to the superbowl in his 2nd year as coach 2 years after we went 1-15. jake is still the QB because he went to the superbowl in his first year as QB.

that is why.

since they did that we should forever be indebted to that effort and blindly follow them off the cliff.

This is true. Fox took us to a super bowl (we didn't win), therefore on that alone Fox deserves a 10 year extension.

I pretty much agree. Even on WFNZ, the hosts will usually call out Jake, but even THEY very rarely question John Fox.

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

      Retired jersey, etc. It can't be done on Cam's terms.  'Be patient" and quiet about it is my advice.

      I see your point 100% and I agree with Cam in principle--but from the business side of things, it is not a valid argument.  Was he doing it for loyalty to the city or money?  He signed a contract and both sides fulfilled that contract, just like a teacher or a lawyer/client. Recently, I hired a stud lawyer at $550 per hour to sue my employer for violations to the UNC system policy that "injured" my professional status and reputation.  If he failed, he would have kept nearly $30,000. We won a big settlement.  Do I owe him more?  Should he be on our Christmas card list?  What if he went public and said, "I gave my all for MHS yet I am not invited to his house for Thanksgiving."  I did give him a positive review and sent his staff a gift card to a restaurant, but that was purely my idea.  Cam was paid about $110m for his time here. He signed a contract, he probably outplayed it and he sacrificed his body to keep Ron Rivera employed.  Not under debate.  But Cam's comment suggests that the franchise owes him more for doing his job well--at least in terms of honor and recognition--I agree, but it it can't come from Cam--and they owe him nothing. They should do it, and they will, but not on Cam's terms.  I also think it would be different if we had won a Super Bowl.  Frankly, Cam never had 2 winning seasons in a row--so I can see both sides.  Maybe only Dan Marino gets a statue without bringing Miami a ring; can you think of another?  Fran Tarkenton?  Warren Moon?  The Titans retired his jersey, and maybe the Panthers should do that for Cam--While I agree with Cam, I just think it should not come from Cam or people in his position. He played, got paid, and the rest is political, emotional, and cordial.  It seems petty coming from Cam.  So yeah, I feel you, but I don't think that statement helps him.  Just my perspective.
