Person expects Rivera to promote Curtis Fuller

[panther4life]

I think some of you guys are over analyzing this a bit too much. I'm sure that Wilks at minimum did not oppose the idea and might have even promoted the idea.

Jayzus.....same old status quo....

Wow another Rivera hate thread. How cool

[pantherclaw]

So Rivera, after having several interviews, decides to promote one already on the coaching staff, and this is viewed as not taking a risk, and fans automatically assume the worse. 

Drugs are bad, mmm'k.

Rivera is terrified to bring in a solid coach with HC experience because he'd become expendable.

Yes, Rivera is terrified (laughable) and is concerned about his job security (also laughable).

Panthers to promote from within to fill DB Coach job
 

Indeed.

No offense to Curtis Fuller, but with a group of young corners that'll need a lot of coaching, this is not the way I would have gone.  Not when guys like Ray Horton were out there.

You're talking about the team who gave Ken Dorsey his first qb coaching gig handling one of the best, but raw qbs of this generation. 

Ron just wants to be a good guy and liked by everyone.

This will be Rivera's last year as head coach.

This made me literally lol. I'm guessing you've grown frustrated with his blind loyalty

Good. Can't wait.

Could be good, could be bad. I decided that after last season, I would go into this season just hoping everyone is happy and healthy. Godspeed.

Seems like Rivera really likes puffin his chest and his ego

[KillerKat]

Question is "what continuity?". You've had 2 winning seasons out of 6. Woop-de-doo. If he wants to continue with mediocrity then Rivera is doing a good job.

I hope you are right. Man, I was a lot more confident before 2016. I might get back to there after the draft/FA period.

I lost confidence going into the 16 season with a brand new inexperienced secondary and a first rounder who was never going to be a year 1 starter and not 1 free agent addition to upgrade starting talent.

The 2017 rosters is already better by default as we don't stand to lose as many solid contributors to retirement and free agency. Plus Bradberry/Worley have a year experience now.

Then throw in the best position and  picks we've had in years plus the flexibility in cap space. So this year I see much  more reason for optimism than I ever did in 2016.

Then you remember Rivera and Shula are still "coaching" this team.
