John Fox and Co. made this team more relevant than anyone prior to the arrival of Cam Newton. I'll never get the hate that is thrown at him. I think most of you that toss out hateful remarks are just bandwagon bitches that jumped in after the Super Bowl appearence.

3 winning seasons out of 9.

I'm surprised I'm the first to say it but, that doesn't have to be a jab at Fox. Yes, it is well understood between us fanboys that that was his go to line; but is it impossible to think that Williams just likes the quote with Fox having nothing to do with it?

Pretty sure DeAngelo said earlier in the off-season "it is what it is is no more." If that's not a jab at Fox, IDK what is. So, yes, I do find it impossible to think that Williams actually likes the quote.

Fox was a good coach for a while and a great motivator. He always has a competitive defense but the man knows nothing about offense and totally lacks the "go for the kill" mentality needed for today's game. He also sucks as developing skill positions and would rather ride on established talent in guys like Steve Smith, Deangelo, Beason, etc. because he's so inept at it.

Fox's football philosophy left such a slim margin for error. His style is, for better or worse, an antiquated approach to the game. His ilk will soon be the dinosaurs of the NFL.

Having said that I appreciate the turn-around he brought after our Seifert era. But I am very excited for the Rivera administration. I think he has an aggressiveness that would terrify John Fox.

No source given, but I kinda wonder if this is something Rivera said.

Rivera isn't the type to trash another coach in public, but this is the kind of thing I could see being said in a private conversation (perhaps discussing things Williams didn't like or was unhappy about under the old regime).

Fox did a lot for this franchise. Turned it around more quickly than probably 95% of the coaches out there could have. However, like it was already stated fox was reactive and after years of not making the adjustments and not improving the team in a major way something had to be done.

My main beef with him is he lacked offensive vision and would not relingish control to someone who had it.

Yeah I agree that the one you just posted was a jab at Fox, I just don't think we should jump the gun and think any quote which includes It is what it is is towards Fox. Many players still had a high level of respect for Fox when he left...including myself as a fan (though I'm not saying I don't think the change wasn't what may be best for both parties)

LOL and people thought DeAngelo might want to follow Fox to Denver... sounds like most of these guys were sick of Fox, just like me.

I think Fox's biggest failure was his failure to inspire anybody. The team went into games with the "just don't screw up" mentality and when you play with that mentality you almost certainly screw up, Denver got a taste of that last week.

      High look overview...

      By musicman · Posted

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.

      Canes vs Panthers(Back to Back Games Thread)

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
