While our first 4 opponents haven't been "world beaters"...

Isn't anyone else extremely impressed with Rivera who is notorious for his slow starts? He's had the team prepared every week despite being down key players. Cam has been incredible and I'm not taking anything away from him but we should take a second and recognize Rivera for an uncharacteristic fast start to the season. (run on sentence ftw)

If someone is not impressed with a 4-0 start, they're just being silly.

You can only play the opponent thats in front of you and 4-0 is 4-0.

(Oh, by the way, the Panthers opponents are 3-12 as of right now.  Atlanta's opponents who are being bragged about like they are the best thing since sliced bread?  6-9.  For some reason 3-12 is "bad" (it is), but 6-9 is redefined to be "strong".)

Today Shula was not "good" but he wasn't as bad as he usually is so I won't harp on him. Rivera thus far has been ok, not bad but not great. There's still been clock management issues and game management issues (letting teams stay in the games instead of building a comfortable lead).  He's gotten a bit better about not taking three timeouts in his pocket to end halves, though, as well as solid challenge decisions for the most part.

We're 4-0 without KB, 2 quarters from Kuechly, 2 without Cotchery, no O-line depth with Williams and Silatolu injured, 2 weeks without Star, 1 week without CJ, and a weak run game.  Look at those things I just listed, I don't care who we played, we're 4-0, and getting healthy when we need to.  This team is a contender regardless of what anyone says.

    • And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth  
    • I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years. 
    • We need to hope this scenario plays our next week he fails with pressure…what that means with Evero, is beyond me
