Sounds like a Tee shirt

Seriously? You don't think that is news?

In that statement DeAngelo speaks to the psychology of the team. Fox always siad that, obvious play on Fox's words & DeAngelo sarcastically references it. It makes me love D-Will that much more & excited that the players are ready to move on from a losers mentality.

HEy, any 'news' is good news, since it means the NFL is active! :drool5:

...actually I was serious, this is the biggest scoop Person has ever had I think. :P

Seems like the guys on this team had gotten to the point where they were more than ready to move on from Fox.

As I said a long time ago, I'm sure these guys were just as tired of playing limp dick football as we were of watching it.[/QUOTE]

It's an easy joke...

Should be funny again in December when the Broncos look like the 2010 Panthers.

"it is what is it" translates into "meh.....oh well...."

it shows an apathetic attitude towards getting better. i had been tired of fox's shtick for years. he might have been a friendly guy, but he was a mediocre coach and that mediocrity spread to the team and the older players who knew that no mater how poorly they did, their spot was safe. they didn't have to worry about learning something new because fox didn't want anything to change. they didn't have to deal with any problems because, well, "it is what it is". what they did worked once, so there's no reason to think it couldn't work forever and ever amen.

the sad thing was how badly it spread among the fan base who held on to dear life to that one shining moment we had a couple years shy of a decade ago where we almost made it...wanting to keep the guys around that helped make that happen because they were the best ______ in panthers history. too busy looking back at past "glory" and not able to look forward to the future.

fortunately, we got rid of that mediocre coach and got ourselves a coach that settles for nothing less than being the best. no more excuses. no more apathy. no more "a punt is a good play" crap. no more "it is what it is."

we're boldly going forward and it's about time. regardless of the record at the end of the season, i'm proud of what this team is doing and i'm anxious to see where this bold new road they are on leads.

You should post that on the Broncos MB, as soon as he says it.

Best quote ever.

meh, let them have their fairy wand waving coach and his trite sayings.

they'll find out who he is soon enough.

i do think that elway is going to have a lot of say in what that team does and fox may end up being little more than a puppet with a HOF QBs hand up his butt.

if im feeling pissy one day i might post it over there, though. it's been a while since a forum has hit me with teh ban hammer

Nice guys finish last, or 7-9 forever. I think Jerry came around to realizing that image and morality only get you so far in this league - and they don't get you wins.

frickin "goal is to win 3 games out of 4"

dude always set the bar low so it's easy to reach. only thing is you won't ever become great doing that.

gahhhh..so glad he's someone else's problem.

i'm going to try to quit opening threads where he's talked about. time to move on.
