Of course Ron didn't say that, because ITS NOT HIS FAULT!!!

And of course Dave won't shoulder any of the blame... because ITS NOT HIS FAULT!!!

The failures of this season fall squarely on the players... nobody else. 

I know this because Ron and Dave NEVER accept responsibility for their fug ups

Fox post game locker room just showed a little of his speech. He didn't make injury excuses. He stood there like a man and blamed himself and was holding back tears. You think Ron did that? fug no

I bet my life savings Ron has not and will not do that. This is all due to injuries and players only, in Rivera's head. If it helps him sleep at night then sweet dreams. But then you have Shula who knows a lot of failures this season comes from bad coaching.

Rivera's version: "It's very unfortunate that we had all the injuries that we had this year. And you know, if the ball bounces our way a few times, we would be right in the thick of things, and I really believe that Joe. We have a great group of guys in there and we were just unlucky this year".

According to themselves, these coaches have made no mistakes. They don't hold themselves accountable and neither does ownership. It's why a culture of mediocrity has been created and tolerated here.

Thank you!! I said months ago that management/ownership was okay with mediocracy and some people got their panties in a bunch, but it's true. Richardson is okay with it, Gettleman is okay with it, and Ron is as well.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
