Pay Attention to Post Game PC

I am very interested to see if this dumpster fire of media members will actually press Rivera and ask the tough necessary questions today after the game. Who will be the first moron to ask about why Cam didn't speak during the week before they ask how they could come out so flat while having 10 days off in between games? When you tune into WFNZ tomorrow, make sure you pay attention to how many times Ron and Shula get criticized compared to Cam. What is the point of our media? What purpose do they honestly serve? Remember when Voth guaranteed he wouldn't change even though he was being employed by the Panthers? How many times has Voth criticized Ron or Shula? The answer is 0, but has no problem pointing out every Cam high throw.

The Panthers came into this week off a "mini bye" against an inferior team. The results are nothing short of pathetic. How many times over the years have we seen a Ron Rivera team come off a bye or extra time off and completely lay an egg? How are they unprepared against a team of this caliber? The media's job is to be the middle man between the team and the fans. Their job is to report on what is happening and not giving certain people free passes while constantly crucifying others. They are suppose to have integrity and be fair. Please, someone point out one time where there has been a critical piece on Ron Rivera. Please find me one presser quote where someone actually challenged Rivera on Mike Shula and coaching issues.

I hope everyone keeps this in mind in the future when Cam blows of the media or gives them an attitude (not referring to the Jourdan situation, that is a whole different issue). We have had the misfortune of having to rely on people like Joe Person and David Newton for accountability. When times are tough we get articles on Cam's nicknames for all his teammates from Jourdan over something of actual substance. How about just one of them going after Richardson for completely ignoring this fan base over the last decade pretty much. No, this is all too much to ask for. 

I am extremely curious to see if anyone will press Ron on once again punting in a field goal situation. Why is Graham Gano on the roster if you can't use him for 50+ yard field goals? Why on 4th down is Cam being relied to convert a 4th and 2 on the same drive he was noticeably limping? Why was this team so unprepared after having 10 days to prepare? Unfortunately we will get the same BS that we get from them week after week. If they refuse to hold this franchise and coaching accountable, then nothing will ever change. They are suppose to be our voice and they have failed us all miserably over the years. I just wish the majority of fans would realize this and stop accepting status quo.

Just now, hepcat said:

Ron is going to make excuses about turnovers and missed chances and not take any shred of accountability 

You are 100% correct, and then our media is just going to let it go and move on. They are going to bury his quotes at the end of some article that is flooded with their irrelevant thoughts.

It is there job to follow up on his BS and go after him. Write critical articles and hold him accountable for his mistakes.

Well said. Small market reporters with no one pushing for their job. 

Ron is relying to heavily on his players with "veteran" status and not putting in the players or coaches that can make this team go.

Shula thinks an "evolved" offense means a bunch of window dressing and whack screens.

    • Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.   
    • I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
    • If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
