Just watching the video of Ron discussing Stephen Hill and other topics.

What stood out to me in the interview was talking about the Preseason game with New England.  Missing opportunities was such a key element and he was saying those were correctable mistakes.   But what makes Rivera stand out more than any other coach and what I believe makes this team great.  Was the statement that it falls on the Coaches to put the players in the right spot to succeed.  NEVER throws a player under the bus and puts part of the problem on the coaches.  This feeds into the team atmosphere that we have in Carolina.  It is what makes the locker room one of the best in the business.  Two great players  Peanut Tillman and Jared Allen both confirm this. 

It took a couple of years but Rivera, the two time Coach of the year, has made Carolina a place players want to come.

If he were ever to be fired.  He would be scooped up so fast our heads would spin.

I am glad he is OUR Head Coach.

Just think, some of us wanted (me included) Jim Harbaugh. If that had happened, we would already have another coach.I know, who knows, different timelines...

But I also was not disappointed when we got Rivera either. So it has worked out for everyone.

I remember the conversations that if we hired Harbaugh then Luck would leave Stanford and join Jim in Carolina.

LUCK ily for us.  He went to San Fran and they Got the sleeper of the Draft Colin Kaepernick.

I thought Rivera should have had a chance after Chicago went to the Super Bowl.  When he went to San Diego and turned their defense around I knew he was right up there with Harbaugh, for me at least.

I am glad Hurney signed him.

And to think, sooooo many people were calling for his head.  J-Rich knew what he had, and he made sure to put Getty in a position to discover that Ron "Chico" Rivera was the best guy for the job as well. Patience and belief were the keys, the proper way to build upon a capstone of raw talent, as necessary as water to seeds in a garden.

True story I started a Madden Franchise John Fox's last year as head coach here. The next year the team randomly chose Ron Rivera as head coach. With me leading as a tall athletic quarterback needless to say the Panthers got a lot of winning done. I'm taking 0% of the credit for the Panthers success of course I just find it coincidental.

Maybe Hurney saw your team and the rest is history. 

Thanks for all you have done for our wonderful Panthers.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
