So... anybody here still think Ron will eventually lead us to a Super Bowl?

I don't think Carolina will ever win a super bowl honestly. I think their great chance was in 03 and they couldn't do it then. Every season one "leak" in the boat gets fixed and then four or five more spring up. Every season it seems like if the organization gets rid of "that one coordinator" or "that one coach" that it will all come together, but it never seems to. I'm just glad the NFL isn't the only sport I follow because being a Panther fan is anything but easy. Hopefully those of you that take the moment to read this post understand that I'm frustrated and not jumping ship, I'm sure a lot of you feel the same way I do.

No I don't. I'm now loosing faith in our coaching staff by the game. Seeing how LaFell is playing, in my opinion is an indictment on our coaches. Yes I know, our Offensive line isn't as good and our QB isn't as good but neither are our coaches.   Watching our team play, at times, it's like they're going through the motions instead of playing with emotion. Of course I'm not talking about every player but the ones this fits. We need an proactive, adaptive, creative and aggressive coaching staff...

This is exactly how i feel, other than the part where we NEVER will one. That hurts to think about.

NFL.  Talent > Coaching.

 

So if they give him talent.....sure.    If they give him HUGE HOLES at key positions....probably not.

 

 

Coaches who micro manage their talent and are not able to adjust on game day while using the same cookie cutter game plan trump their talent and deserve much more of the blame.

 

You could give Rivera talent and he will still allow his coordinators to play to their weakest players. What does it matter giving talent to a coach who spends the whole first half ignoring that talent and playing to a horrible OL in the running game while passing to all but the top 2 receivers? What does it matter when you rely on a 4 man rush from a DL who has no pass rush while dropping your best players into mid range pass coverage to watch the opposing QB pick and choose where they want to go?

 

When Rivera's game plan of relying on the weak links craps out and the team falls behind, then he tosses it on the talent to bail him out. And when they lose he blames the missed opportunities on the talent he put all the pressure on.

 

A majority of the errors on key plays throughout the season have come from coaches not putting their players in the best positions to win on a given play. Imagine an NBA coach who sends their 60% free throw shooter to the line while leaving the 90% free throw shooter on the bench with the game on the line. Or having a player who has no range shoot the 3 point shot while you never even try to get it in your best 3 point shooters hands. You play to your strengths and design plays to get it in their hands. Rivera fails to do that. It is up to the opposing defense to make that strength a weakness before you go to another option.

Its not going go happen. No matter how much talent he has simply because he will get out coached. Honestly I know this team is void of talent but they don't even put up a good fight on most Sunday. Blame the players all you want this team needs someone who can out think someone besides themselves.

The guy fails when it comes to challenges and has no idea how to manage a clock / timeouts. How many times will He decide it is best to run the minute and a half of clock and go into halftime without using any timeouts. Sean Peyton took him to school on that philosophy Thursday.

The guy is just not a game day coach so I say no chance.

Anyone who accuses someone of "jumping the ship" for stating facts, needs to jump out of one for real. Nothing you said was opinion.

Man, I really hope I'm wrong about them never winning one. I don't think anything sports related would make me happier. More specifically to answer the thread question though, I don't believe Riverboat Ron will lead the Panthers to a super bowl.

When you have weaknesses as large as we do on the OL and secondary.....you can't expect a coach to scheme around it for success.

We have 4th q preseason talent.....go up against legit starters. You won't win those battles consistantly....that isn't a coaching issue. A talent one

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
