@DNewtonespn: Ron Rivera sets the tone for #Panthers with messages on life lessons http://t.co/Fn95IWGvOW

"Rivera spends almost as much time talking life lessons as he does football, because he knows one ultimately has to do with the other.

'His quotes and all the little things, it’s more than I’ve ever been around,’ strong safety Roman Harper said."

“Ron’s very effective. Guys respond to him,’’ tight end Greg Olsen said. “That’s pretty evident with the way guys continue to battle through adversity. We’ve had our fair share over the years, and there’s never the question of the locker room coming undone. There’s never a conflict around here.

“If you look around the league, that’s not the norm.’’

 

And there were people here on this board claiming he had lost the locker room

all the players used to love Hurney as well - so do you let the inmates run the asylum ?

Well, Hurney gave free money to a lot of guys so he was buying love and respect. I think the respect for Rivera is more grassroots.

    • I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes. 
    • Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.  
    • Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
