So... Fox...

So, how many people think Fox is still going to be fired?

Barring a monumental collapse (aka, losing just about every one of our remaining games) I do not see Fox or Hurney going anywhere this season. I think it will take 2 consecutive losing seasons for that...

coaches have been fired after playoff seasons.....Fox's method of playing in the NFL is outdated. A move should be made regardless of what occurs. ''A new QB should start next year is a critieria of Fox stays.

If Fox isn't gone then I really think that he will be here for as long as he wants. If this season (after a 12-4 season last year) combined with the fact that he has NEVER tried to address the QB position aren't enough to get a new coach then nothing is.

This team would be the best team in the NFC if we had a QB...there is no doubt in my mind. It sucks that Fox buried himself with Jake but that is the way it goes sometimes. Now...I am willing to reconsider my position if Fox is willing to part with Jake. If he isn't then he needs to go.

Our remaining schedule probably opens the door for 3 more wins (maybe 4 if NO mails it in for the last game of the season). That puts us at 7-9 or 8-8. We lost to one of the worst teams in the league at home (the Bills), and we blew a lead against NO. You can't have games like that every year (which we do) and still keep your job.

Our remaining schedule is:

Miami

NYJ

Tampa

NE

Minn

NYG

NO

I think that if we play how we have been playing then we could win our next 3. But we are probably going to end the season either 1-3 or 0-4. I think that the fact that we end the season with 3 or 4 losses in a row will seal John Fox's fate.

I always hope we make the playoffs but ownership needs to see that we are a SB caliber team at every position except for one and its not acceptable.

I really think we'll have another year of Fox/Hurney.

I think it is possible that we may see a different QB next year, but not if Jake continues to 'return to form.' We may end up with a drafting of a young QB in the 2nd round though to groom for the future... even though that is rarely Fox's way.

    • 2 games is simply not enough to judge what we have with these guys.   I think it's clear the defense needs talent. Offense is actually in a pretty good position with our Oline and RB. Maybe we can upgrade the WR position other than that most of our issues are on defense. This should be a simple draft for us.    
    • I realize that the coaches see the players on the roster and practice squad at practice, but there are several players I want to see play substantial minutes in a game situation.  I AM NOT SUGGESTING THAT WE START ALL THESE PLAYERS--I AM SUGGESTING THAT WE GIVE SOME MEANINGFUL PLAYING TIME TO A FEW FROM THIS LIST.  This article about 2022 draft pick (Bears) Velus Jones led to this thread:   https://oldnorthbanter.com/panthers-urged-to-give-former-draft-bust-a-chance-entering-season-s-final-games-01jfzg7bj02n Velus Jones, WR/RB/KR:  Very fast and can be elusive. The article compares him to a Cordarrelle Patterson. Stood out at 2022 SR Bowl.  Drafted in the third round (I think) by Bears.  I did not know he was on the roster.  He is 27. Caleb Farley (CB/S):  He has had his fair share of injuries and his play has been sub par, but maybe the former first rounder was in the wrong position.  Let him face the LOS and move him to Safety.  His injuries (back and knee) and size 6' 2" 200 lbs make it tough to play CB, but I think he might be able to handle Safety, based on my limited knowledge of the skill sets for both positions.  For now, let him play CB, but if he looks decent, consider S. Demani Richardson (S):  Yes, he made a play last week.  Let him play more to see if it was a fluke or legit. Xavier Woods is set to become an UFA at age 30.  Jaden Crumedy (DT):  I have a feeling there will be some house cleaning at DT/DE (3-4) this offseason.  Ray and Tuttle have been embarrassing this season, and Ray becomes an ERFA.  Tuttle can be cut post June 1 for a $6m savings.  A. Robinson has been average at best, but he is signed for 2 more seasons (he too can be cut post June 1 for a $6m savings).  We know we get Brown back and I am confident we draft a DT.  Can Crumedy work into the rotation?  What if we go 4-3?  We need some film on him playing from the 3 tech and the nose. Jacoby Windmon  (ILB)  I realize that he is playing, but  we need to put him in different situations to see how he looks. At 6-2, 250, he has the size to play ILB in a 3-4 or 4-3, but he has also had some reps as a DE in college, if I am not mistaken.  I would like to see him in coverage and blitzing.   He led the team in tackles last week (8).  Andrew Raym (C)   We may have something in Mays, but we need depth.  Can Raym play?  We'd have to bring him up from the PS, but he could step up and keep us from drafting a C late.
