Did John Fox take a swipe at the Panthers?

I'd say most objective people (i.e. members of any fanbase outside the Panthers and Broncos) already think he's a great coach. At least that's my read. Granted, it's a subject of much debate on this forum. I would say the question of how much of his success is because of Peyton is a valid one.

One thing I think can rightly be said here is that Fox was successful here, but also flawed. He absolutely made some coaching decisions that cost us games (most famously the way he defended Fitzgerald in the Cardinals playoff game) but you can't argue that he won us plenty of games with his coaching too.

Truthfully, the ultimate answer regarding Fox and the Panthers is that they needed to part ways. This is one divorce that was rightly the best option for both parties.

As far as the rest: That debate is ongoing. I have my own opinions, but I don't worry that much about "what might have been" myself because I think what did happen was for the best.

The only time I ever hear people who have never been panther fans saying "fox is a great coach" it's almost always simply been an appendage to a bigger point. Like:

"That Denver's going to be a big threat with that peyton manning throwing those lasery passes to his minions of receivers that always seem to be in the right spot. also they signed a shitload of good free agents like DRC and Welker so they're pretty much the most complete thing since they put cupholders on movie theater seats. Also that john fox is a good coach..."

Hence why I said "objective people".

If Fox did he has good reason. He did not exactly leave on the best of terms, but he kept his mouth shut then.

How many millions did Fox get paid by JR? ..as much as the Pats coach....

My opinion for those millions who should just keep his mouth shut in the house that he and hurney built

The list of of pro bowl QBs passed on is long.

He should get down on his knees every day for the football gods dropping the best QB of the generation to a man who set back offensive football 50 years

No manning and he'd be sitting home with the rest. Nice man but he should just shut his passive aggressive mouth about it and JRs milliOns sooth his pain at quail hollow. Don't mean to sound pissed but he got millions to fail
