It's funny how the personnel is so different at key spots and yet they play exactly like the 2010 team.

 

Steve Smith essentially replaced by a 6'5'' giant with the wingspan of the spruce goose

 

Jimmy Clausen replaced by an immensely talented QB with a completely different skillset

 

We actually have a TE

 

Luke at MLB, who is a better player than Beason ever was

 

Actual NFL caliber defensive tackles

 

and the team is still getting blown out the exact same way every sunday.

 

If you're not blaming JR for at least 85% of this mess at this point then your opinion is irrelevant. And I don't want to hear poo about "but we just extended Rivera". The Dolphins fired Sparano merely a year after they gave him an extension. They're not a very well run franchise either, but at least they commit to trying to win. JR wants to win like I want an Audi RS 5. Yea it would be nice but I can live without it. JR refuses to acknowledge that his vision of football, whatever it is, is flawed. We're on the path to nowhere as long as he is on the king's throne. If Rivera is not fired like he should be at the end of the year, it's because JR doesn't think the price of winning is worth more than a 15 million dollar contract extension, which isn't even a fraction of what the Panthers make in stadium revenue alone.

That's alot of money to swallow. What you're forgetting is the man who gave him that extension. He should not get a free pass for that misstep.

 

It's JR's money that's being spent on Rivera, not Gettleman's

 

I believe fully that Rivera's fate is JR's call. After all, he hired Gettleman and made the call to hire a new staff off limits. Plus, this "give you a lucrative contract extension after taking three years to make a playoff berth" reeks of the kind of operations that have defined the Panthers in the post-Seifert era.

Its hard to fathom the same guy who let half of last years team walk because he refused to pay them is the same guy who fell all over himself to lock up Riverboat Fuggin Ron for 5 million a year based on what amounts to one half of one season of good team performance.

 

I can sympathize with his having to let some guys go because of Hurney fugging us but if this is how DG is going to spend money when he eventually does have some cap space we are royally fugged.

I don't blame Richardson for 85% of this. Don't care if that makes my opinion irrelevant.

I blame him for 90%.

Big picture how he handled pre lockout time, the contracts after, then pairing HCs/GMs together that simply are dumb moves makes pretty much.....the on field product mainly Jerry's fault. Big picture.

The Hurney/Rivera pairing forced a new era HC to basically be forced feed Fox's old team. Now new GM is doing what should of been done year one of Rivera's era in year 4. THAT makes you suck.....and that is Jerry's fault. Front office is why we suck.

      Jalen Ramsey

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, I get why the media and some NFL and Carolina fans are saying that we don't have a real chance, but as many Huddlers should know, we won't know what we really have in this team until probably late September or early October at the earliest. And I'm not trying to be a homer, I'm just looking at things historically. Obviously I'm also looking at Bryce's "palatable" improvement the last half of last season (including being the catalyst for hanging with and nearly beating the Super Bowl participants), and the new additions that we've acquired overall. I'm also looking at the beginnings of a culture change--even if perceptibly subtle--to some degree indeed may take a foothold if things start falling the right way. But, overall, I'm still cognizant of the realization that things could just go south and that perhaps that Bryce could revert and flop, or that D & D (Dan and Dave) are not the answer, but I still am not ready to say "we're far away." Hell we could be close, albeit with growing pains, but even if we're on the course to bring legit in 2026, then guys like Ramsey would be welcome additions this season. That's just my take on it. I don't think we'll know that we're far away until some point in the season. If we can compete in the South...who knows?

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      You guys remember when the narrative on here was that Bryce would be chronically injured in the NFL due to his size and Anthony Richardson would be super durable due to his? You remember when the narrative was that Bryce was physically incapable of throwing a ball further than 20 yards in the NFL? You remember “I’ll stop complaining when he throws for more than 200 yards and looks like an NFL quarterback”? You remember when 60 sacks was his fault and not the offensive line, slow WRs, and terrible scheme? Pepperidge Farm remembers. It will always be something for some people. Whatever insanity they come up with will be quickly dropped to move on to the next thing. Bryce could have an MVP Super Bowl winning season and they would complain that we can’t run the tush push with him. It will always be something.

      For the Panthers fans still low on Bryce and demanding that he be a top-10 QB this upcoming season: What stat(s) will you need to see? Not the vibe you want, but rather what does he need to be top-10 in specifically? Passing yards? Completion percentage? Win-loss record? PFF grades? EPA? CPOE? Asking because this was asked before and... well... it ended up that the folks down on him didn't care about the numbers as much as they cared that they just couldn't get passed his size regardless of how he performed. It would be nice to get a straight-forward answer to that without the usual deflection and redirecting.
