No more Riverboat Ron

"Riverboat Ron" was never who he was at his core. It's who Cam and the fans demanded he become. The less faith Ron is feeling in his team, the less confidence it inspires. The less confident players are, the worse they play. When we're winning, he has no problem making the call to go for it on 4th and 2.

I think he will get fired towards the end of the season. He took us to the Superbowl but he couldn't bring the Lombardi trophy to Charlotte. His ship has sunk. We get the right coach and The Panthers can win it all in 2 years.

There is no way he's getting fired after three straight playoff seasons.  He'll point to this year as being hampered by a ton of injuries, and honestly five of our losses have came by a FG or less.  However if we don't win at least 10 games next year I think his seat will be pretty damn hot.

The Ron Rivera who introduced himself in his first press conference was absolutely the guy I wanted coaching this team.

At some point within those first two losing seasons, adversity smacked him right in the face and he lost the confidence that made him that guy.

He hasn't been the same since.

It is not Rivera. It is the man feeding Rivera's system with liabilities while not addressing weak positions.

The answers to keep this team competitive were available and obvious. Instead, the front office had to weaken the defense and the offense with their project players of the future.

Even if you decided to get rid of Rivera, who would you replace him with? Keep in mind an inexperience head coach will likely take 3 years to round out into a coach capable of competing in the playoffs. Might as well slam the door shut on the Cam and Luke era if you do that. The only coach that would make sense would have to be one with extensive head coaching playoff experience.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      Valid, and throw in that what Wilson and Smith did is not out of the ordinary for a WCO

      The season is over, and we're going to get clowned on by Mayfield and Darnold before it's over.

      Darnold was pretty bad until last year.  He implodes mentally, its just what he does.  To this day I dont have a problem with letting him walk.   Baker is a bit different.  He was an ass in Cleveland and they couldnt deal with his poo, but he at least had talent and went to the playoffs.  So you know he could play at least.  There were different stories coming out from the time he got here, competing with Sam and then the practice team release fiasco.  Both good and bad.  Some say he was a good teammate others say he bitched behind the scenes.   From what it appears his wife has worked with him and he calmed down and his play has reflected that.  Tampa loves him.  So if we were going to keep one it probably should have been him but man he was really bad for us.  But to his defense he didnt get the first team reps until late into camp.     In obvious hindsight we should have signed Baker cheap, drafted a dude and let the cards play out, but you know the rest of the story and now we are going to have to watch bryce for 2 more years

      Again his one year calling plays happened to be Baker's lowest YPA not counting his split year hear.  That tells me he was less aggressive with a QB who likes to be aggressive.  We have that and almost 2 full years of Bryce Ball here in Carolina.  He will take some deeps shots as most offenses have to in order to keep the defense honest.  Quick passes and hopeful YAC.  I'll give you one guess to which year Rachaad White had the most receptions as TB's RB?  Remember the first thing he wanted to do here is focus on how quickly he wanted to get the ball out.  That's part of his recipe to help QBs and help his OL.  Run the ball, quick passes to hopefully players in space, sprinkle in a little PA.   So yeah you can look at some coaches he learned under and speculate, but I am telling you what he literally is doing and has done as a play caller.  Offenses that were and are 100% his baby.
