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.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
