Ron Rivera on the hot seat? **SMH/LOL**

OK, I am not going to presume (LOL) that any coach couldn't just have a monumental collapse and end up out the door, but, no, I don't think so; Rivera's seat is right comfortable.  

 

 

At the start of last season, “Riverboat Ron” was sitting squarely on the hot seat, as nearly everyone in Carolina wanted him axed. Then, his team pulled off a miraculous turnaround, wound up 12-4 and atop the NFC South, and all seemed right. But a home playoff loss tarnished the season a bit, giving the naysayers something to chirp about once again. If 2013 proves to be an aberration, change could be in the cards for the Panthers.

And, Riverboat Ron is not the only ludicrous candidate on the list.

 

 

As an aside, I see comments all the time from people who don't really know poo about the Panthers (and Cam newton), but you'd think that some sites' (e.g., Cover 32) editors would just say "No!" sometimes.  That's the real point that I even brought this up. 

 

Have at it, you ravenous cats!

There would have to be a serious reversal in the W/L record for Ron's seat to get hot, and if things go wrong and people start asking 'what's wrong with the Panthers?', Rivera likely won't be the first thing that comes to mind.

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
