St. Pierre’s first season was 2003. Kordell’s last season with the Steelers was 2002 – he went to ‘da Bears in ’03. In 2003 Randal El had more passing attempts (3 for 4) than St. Pierre. Heck, even the punter, Josh Miller (1 of 1) had more than BSP’s zero.

Is there a better job anywhere than being a 3rd string QB, carrying a clipboard, wearing a red vest the few times you have to practice, until… ..until Coach tells you you’re starting. Oh crap! What a career — until this Sunday.

Yes, a coach who has taken his team from 12-4 to 1-8 in a season and a half certainly has earned that right.

If he thinks a guy who has thrown 5 passes in 8 years and wasn’t on his roster a week ago gives him the best chance to win, that is a GIANT indictment of him and his coaching staff that through mini-camps, training camp, preseason, and nine games of this season, they couldn’t get a fairly highly regarded, extremely successfull college QB, prepared enough to make an emergency start.

What he is doing is called being insubordinate.

By the way, I’d be happy to take this guy in Miami. He’s a smart coach, who’s teams are hardworking and disciplined.

You can thank me later.

In other words, he’s really only screwing himself in the eyes of the smart/good owners. I’m guessing he doesn’t care if he coaches for a good franchise next year.

Why does no one else see whats going on? Do you know what famous SB winning coach lives in Carolina? Bill Cower, I guarantee the Panther’s plan the whole time was to go after Cower this year

The owner clearly decided to go as cheap as he could. The GM is a a former journalist and the VP of Personnel was the AD at a community college.

WTF is Fox supposed to do? He has not had the greatest coaching results this year……but his options are a rookie QB, rookie QB form a community college in the mountains or a 30 year old loser. Not much to pick from.

They have nobody on defense outside of a few linebackers, one quality receiver, and they keep spending current 1st and 2nd round draft picks for 4th round talent. See community college QB from the mountains and stick-man DE from Florida State.

The owner is a joke, the GM is a loser, the VP is a douche. Richardson should give his new heart to someone more deserving.

Fox and Panther fans deserve better. We deserve an owner that will allow people to actually stand up in the stands and cheer without getting thrown out. They deserve better fans than the Bank of America, run an economy into the ground through illegal foreclosures, wine and cheese wimps that occupy the seats now.

Last note — this one to Jerry Jones in Dallas. If in fact you’re not keeping Jason Garrett for 2011, John Fox is showing his true lack of judgment and character here. If he was even on your boards remotely as head coach of the Cowboys, grab the White Out! NOW!!

Successful nine year run? You mean when he rode the team Seifert built and then watched erode?

Same story in Tampa as well with Gruden.

I am the NFL………….

I don’t buy the argument that he needed to do this because Pike isn’t ready. He may not be, but he has more natural talent in his pinky toe than Brian St. Pierre has in his entire body.

There is no way a 30 year old never-was who doesn’t even sound like he WANTS to play is a better option than Pike.

While people will grumble, a simple spell check could avoid sentences like the following- “From the outside, it looks like perhaps Fox just think the veteran gives the team a better chance to win.”
