Ron Rivera in the month of December

[Lilsmitty09]

We all know Ron Rivera is good in the second half of the season, and mainly in December...but just how good? Well I did some research and here is what I found:

 

Ron Rivera In Month Of December (Career With Panthers):

 

2011: 
3-1
Outscored Opponents 137-79

 

2012:
4-1
Outscored Opponents 143-98

 

2013:
4-1
Outscored Opponents 108-90

 

2014:
4-0
Outscored Opponents 111-43

 

Totals:
15-3
Outscored Opponents 499-310

 

 

So...15 wins to 3 losses in the month of December with an average victory of 10.5 points (aka two possesions)....someone should put Ron's calendar to December and let it stay there year long...

 

The one discouraging thing however is that from 2011-2012 we were putting up an average of 140 points in December under Chud's offense...meanwhile from 2013-2014 under Shula, we only have averaged 109.5 points, in the same amount of games. 

 

Thoughts? Keep Pounding!

My new nickname for him: Mr. December.

I want the December pic in the 2015 Top Cats calendar to feature big Ron in a Santa hat driving a Felix Sabates' Mercedes-Benz convertible with 3 sexy hos in the back.

I'm actually surprised the point differential is that close. While Cam should have been better the 2 seasons under Shula (just from an experience standpoint), I think Chud had better tools, specifically Steve Smith, Jordan Gross and a younger Kalil, DWill and JStew.

Pretty impressive #s but the bottom line is what his overall record is... Am thinking it's right around .500

You'd be right. He's Mr. Average. His record, including post season, is as average as average gets, 33-33-1

1st coach in NFCS history to repeat as division champion though.

Look at Bill Belichick's record after his first 4 seasons... 31-33, with 1 playoff win. Followed by two 5-11 seasons before his success. Just saying.

And trend is in the right direction, last season aside (which is kind of unfair to assess, considering the key losses of Smitty, Gross, Hardy, Ginn, Mitchell, LaFell, etc.

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Why can't we find a happy medium on offense. With more emphasis on getting Cam weapons it should improve

So...what you're saying is Belichick was just an average coach his first 6 seasons, then realized it's easier to win when you cheat on lucky season number 7?
