Thoughts of letting go of John Fox? R you kdding me?

John Fox, arguably the best coach in the NFC... Superbowl appearance, NFC South Championship, 2 to be exact, two NFC Conference championship games and an NFC Championship. Not to mention a guaranteed playoff run every time his team is healthy and there are thoughts are getting rid of John Fox. Yeah, be stupid if you want..... But its your team. I mean, your 12-5, winning season and something to build on, unlike a lot of teams who wish they could build on that instead of just trying to get even a few wins alone.

But.... if you insist. You know what, I can guarantee that if you keep Jake Delhomme, John Fox and Julius Peppers that this team will get to a minimum of at least the NFC Championship next year. Bottom line, John Fox is a very good coach with a very good staff that has a chance to redeem themselves and win it all next year. And I seem to be the only one that thinks they will.

Remember, I'm a person who nearly had my heart jumping in my throat because of John Fox's game plan and Jake Delhomme's abilities back in Houston in 2004 at the SB. I was there, I know first hand what this Panther team can do. Ask Tom Brady, ask Harrison, Seymour, Givens and those other guys.

No one is saying fire Fox.

And honestly, if you are not a Panthers fan, then you dont really KNOW john fox.

HEll if we had some John Fox trivia the only answer we fans would know is that his favorite phrase is "it is what it is"

The thread you seen is just a "what do you as a fan think of Fox" thread?

My favorite is "we just picked a bad day to have a bad day." That sentence is the ultimate most obvious quote ever. Who watching the game didn't realize that.

Its not 2003 anymore? so what, my team last went to the SB in 04 and won it... But made it back in Feb 08 with the same CORE guys so what are you saying? and as far as the comment right above me. fug you because I respect for this team. Maybe I see something in this team that stands out to me. Nucleus of a dynasty if not for a few things go wrong here and there over the last few years. I don't come on here and disrespect Carolina or anything, hell I even like Carolina so go jerk off you lil fagot with that comment. How dare you? I like Carolina like I said, so I have that right to share just my thoughts and opinions

I can handle keeping Fox.

It seems Turgo is going to be this years Foster or Morgan.

Logic will finally trump loyalty. And that ain't easy on any level. We can rant and rave and all that but you are still dealing with people.

The emotions are the same. Now the pay...all other ball game.

maybe we should have a winning record 2 years in a row before we start calling them a dynasty.

    • Carter, Graham, and Hunter for me. Other than that I'm listening to offers. Hell, I'm listening to offers anyway. I'm not doing the Gettleman thing of submitting the pick immediately. If the phones are ringing there's no cost to listening. Maybe someone has an offer so good that I can't refuse.
    • These numbers do not measure a player's prime. Do these numbers include OL pulled up from the practice squad for a game or two then cut?  Do they include players who might have been injured or cut for reasons other than they were past their primes?  The average career for an NFL lineman is 3.63 years, and that is because there is a lot of turnover--regardless of a player's prime. In fact, if only 55% of Offensive linemen drafted in the first round succeed, then the failure rates of most offensive linemen drafted and undrafted would be much lower, cause them to skew the average age of the OL.  This suggests that most players' retirement from the NFL is not based on their prime, but other factors.  They are cut, released, injured--and that is based on their level of play compared to others, not their levels of play within their personal skill range--something that peaks during your prime. In this case, I was talking about Moton, an elite offensive tackle, one that avoided the factors that shorten careers unrelated to their primes. I identify Moton as the team's best offensive lineman on an impressive OL--that distinguishes the type of player being referenced, so I did not provide a lot of qualifiers--as you didn't with your stats.   In this article below, one that evaluates established Offensive tackles, it states the following, which supports my comment:  "Most elite offensive tackles start to decline at roughly the age of 32 if they haven’t already."  So to say that Moton was at the end of his prime was not a reach or careless speculation.  If a player has the skill to be competitive and they can avoid injuries, their career expectancy is much higher than an average of all offensive lineman on a fluid roster. https://www.milehighreport.com/2017/2/27/14724674/age-wall-for-offensive-tackles-nfl  
    • If there’s not much difference in moving back a couple spots, finding a good offer might be an issue.
