Reich might have had a better chance if Gettleman were still in charge.  They were together in Buffalo some years back.

As it stands. I have zero expectations that either Rivera or Hurney will be displaced anytime soon.  Hell, I'm not even willing to bet on Shula getting canned.

I don't care for Rivera's overly conservative approach, but I honestly do believe that a better OC would make a world of a difference.

I wasn't the world's biggest Rob Chudzinski fan, but I do have to admit he might have been better suited to coach Newton.

Shula's style is basically "let's try not to make any mistakes, while Chud was more "f--k it, let's go for it all!"

My only issue with Chud is that I thought it was pretty clear that he was coaching for himself and not the team. He wanted to be seen as the innovator and the catalyst behind our offensive success.

Then again, I think that's largely true with Shula as well, it's just that he doesn't have the mental chops to pull it off.

Chudzinski's dream job was to be head coach of the Cleveland Browns. He got the job, and in true Browns fashion was dumped after one season.

Does he still aspire to be a head coach? Don't know.

The guy was a bit of an egomaniac. Anyone who thought they could succeed in NFL coaching where Bill Belichick failed has to be a bit of an egomaniac.

Thinking you can succeed in Cleveland requires...a certain mindset.

Other thoughts on Reich?

    So, anyone else going to weigh in on this? Or just these two? 

 

    Yeah, were are 4-2, but hey, let's pretend. I am a Panther fan, and I just don't like how we play. I see other teams doing well, and I demand my team do so as well. 

 

    I demand that my expectations be met. I will not settle for less. I deserve wins, and I will not settle for less. I mean, who cares that wins in the NFL are difficult. I want wins, and I am going to rant and rave, until they happen.

 

    I mean, who cares that Dan Marino never won a SB, or Barry Sanders. That plenty of good, to great teams never won a SB. I am not those folks. I deserve this. And I am going to show my azz until it happens.

 

    Such is life in the instant gratification world.

Come on, Hub.

It's not like Rivera is still new and getting his feet wet. We know what we have in him. Ditto Shula. And Hurney? Please.

Making changes at head coach, GM or both hardly counts as instant gratification. We're talking about at least a two or three year process of transition, and probably not an easy one. Throw in that our roster right now, while good, is also kind of old. There'll be some changes needed there too.

I have no Illusions about things instantly and magically getting better. I know it'll be a rebuild, and a rough one.

That said, I'll take that happily over another three to five years of beating our heads against the wall with what we have now, and it's not even a difficult choice.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
