and have Jeff Davidson as coach? lol. Those 2 teams have players that can get it done where over here we have a rash of injuries, a rookie god awful qb, and a defensive line that is getting gashed every chance it can get. completely different scenarios.

Dont forget the Offensive line which is by far our worst in 5 seasons.

At this point, from what I gather about Fox and JR's relationship, or lack thereof, JR is doing it as a punishment to Fox. Fox doesn't want to be a quitter, but at the same time, I think he's sticking around to try and f*ck JR over as well (not playing Armanti, benching Gamble, etc.)

I think JR believed once it was clear we were gonna suck that Fox was intentionally getting back at him for leaving him a lame duck. So, JR decided he was gonna go down with the ship he was sinking with his own actions. Ever since, Fox has done stuff to get back at JR.

This is all speculation, but I can think there are signs that it is very real.

I think Foxy feels set up by JR, and JR feels Foxy mailed it in, so they've just spent the season trying to leave the other in the worse position possible once the contract is up.

I guess we'll see who wins next year lol.

Sorry Meat, but that's a horrible comparison.

The front offices of both the Vikings and Cowboys gave their coaches plenty of talent to work with this year, and neither Childress nor Phillips was able to use that talent effectively. Compare this to Fox's situation, wherein Richardson purged a lot of the veteran talent and didn't go after anyone significant in free agency.

Furthermore, the Vikings and Cowboys obviously were tired of playing for their respective coaches. I sincerely believe that this team has not given up on Fox.

I don't want Fox here next year, but that doesn't mean I think that any of our assistants would do a better job.

Yea I agree with those above...bad comparison. Both of those teams made the playoffs last year and have veteran teams...Panthers are the youngest team in the NFL and barely made it to .500 last year. A change at the top just says to the rest of the team "you're next".

Anybody read MMQB yet?

Interim Coach "I Told You So'' Note of the Week. Jason Garrett is 3-1, a Roy Williams fumble from 4-0. Frazier is 2-0. We might be about to hit uncharted territory for interim coaches. Is it possible that 49ers owner John York, or maybe Carolina owner Jerry Richardson, would request permission after the season to interview one or both coaches? And unless they've been signed to head-coaching contracts after the Cowboys' and Vikings' seasons, would they consider interviewing for the gigs? Why not? Both coaches have been superb in taking the focus away from the off-field mayhem and putting it on the field.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
