During a visit to Pro Football Talk on NBCSN from the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis this week, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said that he thought the team could get back to the Super Bowl.

During a visit to Pro Football Talk on NBCSN from the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis this week, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said that he thought the team could get back to the Super Bowl.

It seems the Panthers are interested in expanding the number of chances that Rivera will have to prove himself right.

Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer reports that the Panthers have started talks with Rivera about a contract extension. Rivera signed a three-year extension through 2017 with the team after the Panthers won the NFC South in the 2013 season and he’s led the team to two more division titles and an NFC title since signing that deal.

That extension bumped Rivera’s salary past $4 million per season and he’ll get another bump on that front if he and the team do come to an agreement. Rivera, who will bring back almost his entire staff from 2015, is 47-32-1 in five seasons with the Panthers and has led the team to victories in 19 of their last 20 regular season games.

3 minutes ago, The NFL Shield At Midfield said:

wanted him fired in 2012. 

and again in 2013. 

and again in 2014.

please forgive me ron.

You would have a blast if you were a Browns fan!        Their front office listens to the fans by firing their head coach every year or so.

Ron completely changed the culture of this organization. I'm glad we gave him time to see his plan develop. Too many NFL teams give up on their coaches way too fast. I hope Rivera is here for a very long time. He is a great coach and a better person than everyone respects greatly. We are fortunate to have him

 

 

*edit: and he has become one of the best coaches in the NFL without being a cheater or being dirty like so many of the "great" coaches in the NFL

Best story in the book is the redemption story. He pulled himself, and his career, up out of the ashes when most of us were writing him off and some classless jackasses were yelling it in his face. 

The fans gave up on him, treated him like trash, and he somehow turned it around, made a lousy NFC South-standard team into something respectable, and has been a class act the whole time.

Yeah, we owe him a better contract, and we all ought to chip in an extra $200 apiece as a bonus.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
