John Fox on Chris Weinke

I’ve been pleased with his performance, but not to the point where we are going to make any changes.

- John Fox on Panthers quarterback Chris Weinke

 

Disappointing, but last year he pulled Weinke with no warning, maybe he will do the opposite this year.

 

He is going to have HIS first controversy coming up. He is listen too Henning on this. Which game was he watching. He better get his head out of the already great D and get his head into the offense.

 

Does Fox not know they can't win with Peete? What is his fascination with him? He wasn't even good in Detroit. We won't win more than 8 games with him. He was 4-9 for 35 yards tonight which makes him 11-26 for 114 yards and has led them to 0 touchdowns. Weinke was 8-10 for 107 and a TD. He's 22-29 for 256 yards and has led us to 4 TDs. I know that was against backups on defense, but it was with our offensive backups. Peete should be 3rd string. I think Delhomme has played pretty well too, but Weinke has been the best. I don't care if they go with Delhomme, I think he's got talent. Just not Peete. He turns the ball over and has no arm. BENCH HIM NOW!! I will really begin to question John Fox as a coach if he goes with Peete. He's counting on the defnese, but what happens when we have to come from behind? He can't bring us from behind in a game.

 

Peetes arm is a soggy ol' rag! If we can all see that why can't our staff? As I remember he pulled Weinke last year after HIS interception (during his only action?). This year it’s Peete throwing the pick and Weinke clearly looking like the best option to start. At least last year Peete had enough arm left to get a little bit of zip on it . . . this year apparently he's got nothin' left. Fox is going to start some uncontrollable loss of respect hemorrhaging if he doesn’t get his nose out of Peetes ass. I am starting to hope that Peete coughs it up a couple more times against the Steelers next week. He had our only goofs tonight (pic and a fumble). Weinke hasn’t had a turn over and neither has Delhomme, correct? So much for that “game manager” excuse he leaned on last year.

 

Fox seems to be a first impression only type when it comes to evaluating players. Either you get his approval upon first glance or you never do. I'll say this again, if Weinke or Delhomme either one is still sitting behind Peete in two weeks, Fox has a credibilityproblem with the players. They'll begin questioning everything his says at that point. Within two years he'll be gone. Remember, many of these guys had a problem with Seifert and simply quit on him. It will happen again if the players think they've been lied to.

 

All you guys are jumping the gun here. We've got the opposite of Spurrier. Fox gave these guys 4 games to fight it out.

 

and through three of those games Peete is clearly being outperformed by the other two, yet Fox says no change is in order. Spurrier has admitted to being wrong about some things, when is Fox going to start?

 

Just listened to the post game interview. Weinke will not get any time with the starting team next week and Fox will not announce who the starter will be until right before the season opener.
