From near the end of Rivera's post "day one of rookie camp" interview (link)

 

 

- Rivera says Oher has been at the facility "every day" since their offseason program started, "hasn't missed a day".

 

- Describes Oher as "involved with everything".

 

- Says he has "assimilated very nicely into our culture" and "fit very nicely with his teammates".

 

- States that Oher is a "very smart football player" and is transitioning well with the help of Coach Matsko.

 

 

Safe to say he's impressed Rivera so far, for what it's worth.

 

(granted, live bullets aren't flying yet)

But he's no La'el Collins so 2-14 AT BEST! Maybe 3-13 ;)

I want Rivera to say "Well, he's better than Byron so that's a start" haha jk

 

Seriously though, we've got our line shored up and as long as he can be adequate alongside Norwell-Kalil-Turner-Williams/Remmers, then we've got ourselves a squad ready to compete.  Not expecting Oher to completely turn it around just because he's back with his old coach but if he's trying this hard and is a cultural fit, there could be something.  I have a feeling he can do perfectly fine in the right setting, this may be that setting.

Love the man.

Don't know why so much hate for the man. Had one average year with Balt and another bad season due to injury last year. Other than that he has been a very good player throughout his career and even better the SB year.

You are always the first to hate on someone especially someone as terrible as he's been. Good to see you've turned the corner. ;)

Rivera has been too much a fluffer of certain guys in the past. I want to believe him, but I've been lied to in the past.

 

Here's hoping Oher proves me wrong.

 

This.  Bell and Chandler were gonna be the answers last year.

 

I mean, I can't blame him.  What's he supposed to say?  "Holy poo, have you seen these guys???  They're fuging TERRIBLE!!!  We are so completely and utterly fuged that it ain't even funny!!!"

He's graded negatively on PFF every season since 2009.

Considering nobody but rookies are practicing in any way he can only comment on his involvement in his personaL preparation.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.

      By CRA · Posted

      Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
