Panthers might not get Chip Kelly twice

I don't think Rivera gets fired even with a loss tomorrow. As ugly as this season has been being the first coach in the NFCS to repeat counts for something.

With that said I fully believe we will win tomorrow, it's when we play Seattle in Seattle that has me concerned

Ideal scenario:

 

Beat Cards, Lions get a huuge upset in Seattle...after they get it together, beating the Cowgirls.  

 

NFCC in Charlotte against Detroit.

Torn. Potentially playing Seattle means the Cowboys win. I can never bring myself to root for the Cowboys.

If the Lions win they play Seattle and we play Green Bay. Seattle gets the lowest seed left. Lions are a 6 seed, we are 4, Cowboys are 3.

I go back and forth with Rivera. There's a solid NFL coach in him, but sometimes his conservative, tight butthole, coaching not to lose bullshit gets the better of him. I think the Panthers could get beat 50-0 tomorrow and he'd still be safe. The repeat division championship and playoff appearances combined with Jerry's reluctance to pay coaches that no longer work for him more than likely bought him 2 more safe years here. Rivera squeaked by this year by about as close as you can get.

I think if we get beat down, Rivera is out. It's the only way.

I disagree. I just hope Ron has the team ready tomorrow because we know Arians will have the Cards ready. They could trot out Ryan Leaf tomorrow and I'd still be worried. This is a big opportunity for Rivera to fully slam his foot down and let the fan base know he is the coach and he ain't going anywhere.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
