Would you rather...

Quick question. Let's assume that if we turn this around and win the division that Ron Rivera and Mike Shula are retained to continue coaching the panthers next year. On the flip side let's assume if we miss playoffs that they are fired immediately after the season. Would you rather us make playoffs and have to deal with this incompetent coaching staff another year? Or just miss out on playoffs and get a coach who can lead this team correctly next year?

The ultimate nfl troll job staring your Carolina Panthers

Step one : make playoffs

Step two : seedings go like this

1 - packers

2 - cardinals

3 - eagles

4 - panthers

5 - cowboys

6 - Seahawks

Obviously we beat that cowboys round one because it's the playoffs and we just do.

On to the cardinals. Drew freaking stanton I mean come on that's a win

Now thankfully the Seahawks have done something we can't do. Beat the eagles and packers

Third or fifth or tenth times a charm right? Beat the Seahawks and go to the super bowl.

Yeah let's do that.

The goal is to go to the Superbowl. It's still within reach...so I'd rather have a shot than no shot at all (although I think the Packers have it in them to take it all the way). The defense looked good last week. Maybe that's just the jolt it needs to get our early season groove back. We'll beat Minnesota--there's no doubt about that.

I know its fun to say Ron's the cause of our woes a and perhaps if he had done something different we would have won an extra game or two but I'd like to see what would happen with an even playing field. in 2013 Ron won 12 games with the 3rd lowest payroll of

In football (94 mil).  Only oakland and j,ville spent less (65m and 84m).  The league average was 107m.

 

This year the league average cap spending is on actual players is 118m.  The panthers are fitth from the bottom at spending 109m  with other winners such as the jags, raiders, jets, and cowboys just below them.  Unfortunately included in the 109m is 13m for hardy, so we are really sitting at 96m dead last and 5m less than the lowly jets. 

 

 

This is what people mean when they say we are in "cap hell".  Its a real thing.

Making the playoffs simply because everyone else in the division stinks worse than we do is not very impressive IMO. Assuming that we do win the South, I have to be honest and say that we would lose against anyone we played. This team has been a freaking train wreck since the 2-0 start, and there's no way they magically turn everything around and win the last 5. 

 

If we make the playoffs and lose at home, JR will keep Ron for sure, Shula probably will be gone. If we miss the playoffs entirely, Ron still stays but Shula is gone no doubt.

    • Last year was not a high level. He needs to improve a lot more than 1 game agaisnt the Falcons that looked like a preseason scrimmage game. He still looks very limited physically from an NFL standpoint. He hit backup levels at times and needs to show way more consistently.
    • We’ve seen plenty of late round WRs come and go so I don’t have much stock in Horn. He’s definitely a wait and see/maybe he surprises. Looks fun, but then you consider the history with Gettis, T Godwin, Pilares, etc. I’m gonna hold my breathe haha
    • So can we all at least agree that he's physically able to play the position at a high level? There were a lot of weird takes on here before like: 1. he's too short to see the field. all of his passes will be batted down. he'll have to do that hop pass just to get the ball over defenders. he just won't ever be effective passing in the middle of the field. and will never be able to take snaps from under center. 2. he's too small; he'll get injured the first time he's hit; he'll go down whenever he's touched by a defender 3. he's too slow to outrun defensive linemen. he just won't be able to escape the rush or make defenders miss.  4. his arm is just too weak to throw the deep out in tight coverage. or to complete a deep pass Did I miss anything? And he showed he was able to do all of those things his rookie season. Just not consistently. Obviously the problem was always  mental. Confidence and trust in his team mates.
