what ever happened to fox/davidson being the problem?


Recommended Posts

with all the finger pointing at the QB position, what ever happened to fox/davidson's ridiculous play calling being the achilles of the offense?

would any QB stand a chance under a system that had become as predictable as the sun rising and setting every day?

i am of the belief that the change in staff alone is the shot in the arm that the team needs.

It's a problem but it sure as hell wasn't the only one QB has been a major issue since 2008.

but what's the root of the problem, the QBs or the system?

since 2008, how many QBs (rookies and veterans) have come in and failed?

if the fans and game announcers can see what's coming when the team lines up, what do opposing teams' defensive coordinators see?

Clausen was overwhelmed at the speed of the game.He threw it away because Fox told him when it doubt throw it out.I have seen even manning and Brady play bad when the defense had ther number.We were very predicible and that is not a good thing in the NFL.As Riveria noted we had many thing wrong in our offense but Clausen took the fall.He desevered most of it but not all. Evidence of that is Moore looked bad last year as well compared to the year before.I hope alot of lessons were learned.

we were arguably the best team in the NFC in 2008 despite the lame playcalling......that was the last year w/ had "average" QB play for a season. It was painfully predictable in 2008.....just as painful as 09 and 10.

Foxball was what it was and if the season was tanking because of it, so be it. Everybody knew what was coming. In years following the Fox's first several here, opposing teams got it. Here is what they run and they don't deviate from it. It's up to the defense to stop it. Finally people did figure out how to stop it for the most part and Fox never adapted to the fact that just lining up and running the ball will not always get the job done. He was blinded by the success, though spotty and not willing to ackowledge the shortcomings.

    • That would be a great pick, he might be my favorite for us right now. 
    • The coach- Canales was a rookie hc and at times looked like it. But he did manage to revamp the offense, helped Bryce not look like the biggest bust of the draft, exuded positivity,  and made the panthers watchable again. We have a viable head coach for the first time since rivera The gm- Morgan had some hits and some big misses. Hits- the ol, Coker,demani, dj at first. Misses- almost every d player signed, brooks, the jury is out on x. I get what he was trying to do with brooks/Hubbard but it blew up in his face. Hopefully he learns from his mistakes. But he did trade mingo for a 4th, managed to get a 2nd rounder this year from the Rams and I am a fan of constantly churning the bottom of the roster The draft- x can be a solid player but not until he catches the ball, brooks was a high risk pick that didn't work out, Wallace, demani and Chau Smith can be solid contributors and showed glimpses, Coker and jt should be mainstays. And flipping a 7th round lb that was about to be cut for Jackson was a great move.  The offense- had its ups and downs but Bryce has turned from one of the biggest busts in nfl history to a potential franchise qb, that change is worth its weight in gold, thielen was crafty and underrated as usual, Coker was a gem, jt was the solid but has some growing to do, and Hubbard has been awesome, the o line was much improved as well The defense- well...they set records, injuries, poor coaching (imo), bad playcalling and just plain sucking this defense needs everything to change, we need horn and Jackson back and we get brown back but we need bodies and an identity. If they can do with the def what they did with the o then we can challenge for the division bc we already have some pieces there.  Overall- this was a growth year full of questions and some of the major ones were answered(qb, coach). For the first time in a long time the season didn't end depressingly and I do have cautious optimism for next year. But they need to learn from the mistakes of 2024 and if they do I like where this team is headed. On to the draft and 2025
