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.

      Give Legette another season?

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.

      Nah we just talking about giving a platform and normalizing predators (who both beat women) opinions and celebrating it if it fits your narrative.  If that's fun I'm fine being a miserable fug by not supporting P.O.S like that. N b4 you call me a libtard or some other dumb ish know I'm an Anarchist/Libertarian and believe both these dudes should get a complete ass whooping (at min) or something worse for what they have done to women in this world.
