I may be wrong but didn't JR get rid of Fox due to lack of back to back winning seasons?  

Fox knew he was done before week 1.  Rivera ain’t in Foxland yet.

peope act like we are in a bad spot.  This is actually a good spot based on Rivera’s history.

If this was to play out like Fox then next year would be his "lame duck" year.  JR has gone on record saying he doesnt want to let go of a coach before his contract is up.  Just like Fox's last year here, everyone knew after the previous season had ended that the next year was it for Fox.  What happened? We ended up with the number 1 pick.  I really hope JR has learned from this and is willing to cut ties with his head coach before his contract is up.  I dont think I can make it through another "lame duck" year

JR didn't really "get rid of" Fox at all. He just let his contract run out without renewing it.

Rivera's contract runs at least two more seasons.

Has he really gone on record with that, or are we just all using the past to expect this?

 

I can't recall.

10-6 probably gets us in the playoffs this year.  I'd be shocked if you fire a coach with a 63-48 lifetime record making the playoffs 4 of the last 5 years.  If he wins a playoff game he gets a 3-year extension, otherwise he gets a 2-year extension.

8,9, or 10 wins but no playoffs gets him no extension and a lame duck year.

a losing season, and I think he is toast.

I'm leaning towards they get at least 1 more year no matter what, unless we  go 4-12 or 5-11. A worse performance than last year would most certainly get them canned pretty quick. But anything around 7-9 or better and it gets into the murky territory of them getting one last season to turn things around.

      Unless the league decides to rollback the rule book 30 years, that player at QB isn't winning any Super Bowls.  QB has to elevate those around him.  QBs that are carried by the team are always exposed in the playoffs. Closest thing to an average QB that has won the SB recently is Jalen Hurts.  But he's so unique with his legs and the unstoppable tush push that I don't think it's easy to compare him to anyone.  Certainly not someone who is subbed out for QB sneaks.

      You absolutely can have hope. You can’t convert people though; making advocacy posts are kind of … not reading the room.   I had a small hope that he would be able to at least manage some games and that they could make it work in some kind of no fun to watch fashion.  But honestly I had 100% determined he was not NFL starter material, and I had conviction. So to root for him to marginally succeed goes against the best interest of the Panthers long term, according to my beliefs. I wanted him gone the minute he got here if I am honest.It was up to him to prove otherwise.  He has rarely shown me anything to think I was wrong on his ceiling.  He did show me some courage last year, standing in the pocket and stepping into his throw in the face of pressure - but that has gone somewhere. He made some nice throws last year in places too, but they invested in him on the level of the Atlanta game should be his norm. Good luck seeing that again on Sunday. Still, he did it once, so technically it could happen again.
