Who will be our DC next season?

Go look at Rivera's resume.

 

I'm quite familiar with his resume.

 

No doubt he has a great deal of input into draft picks and FA signings and gives broad advice concerning our D. The game plans though are McDermott's and Shula's along with their respective staffs. That's their job and that's what they do. A HC is too busy with other things to be intimately involved with all aspects of the team.

 

If you like our record and the way we play you should at least be willing to give all our staff credit for the excellent job they are doing.

Rivera is the main reason behind that 14-4 record

One of the most efficient offenses+ great defense + Rivera not being a bonehead is the reason.

But Shula's efficient O definitely has it's role. People like to blur the line of what efficient and ball control O is....

This board loved Chud overall while he was here....hates Shula. One had Sportscenter plays, one didn't. One helped us win, one would call 3 straight passes from the 2. Give me Shula

I just want to enjoy the season we're in.

Hopefully when it's over we will have back-to-back winning seasons and playoff appearances, and I want to win a playoff game.

Other than that, I want this season to get back to the good product on the field, and not the extraneous bs.

Our D was not even comparable under Chud vs Shula. 

 

We did not have Luke and Star. Not to mention the suck a tude at S and CB those years.

Lol Dont act like you know. You speculate like everyone else.

What Do you think rivera does? how can you say he isnt intimatly involved with the gameplan in all three phases? What other is there to do that is so time consuming to take away from doing that with his coordinators? lol camon man

Wilks, he's already our pass defense coordinator

this. iirc, wilks was who rivera initially wanted as DC (i'm probably remembering wrong), but yeah...as good as mcd has been, i think he's replaceable by wilks and the fact that we'll still have rivera managing the team and his fingerprints being on the defense and gettleman putting together a talented roster i think that we would stay at the top of the league for a long time.

and don't forget, we will still have probably the most dominant front seven in the league. we'll be ok.

It could be argued Gettleman is the main reason, though I honestly believe Rivera is the biggest part. I really think Gettleman and Rivera are a great GM/HC pair. Glad that Gettleman had patience with Rivera instead of wanting to bring his own guy in. These two, Cam and Luke as our main players and KB, Star, Olsen, Kalil, TD, CJ, KK, Bene, White, even Bell, and Chandler should make all Panthers fans very grateful. As much as people don't like Bell around here, he is solid enough to at least get the job done (and has honestly been besting this season so far) and does so at a very small price tag and he was a UDFA. I love where this team is going, and where we're at right now.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
