The ONLY reason the Panthers went for it on 4th and 1 = Cam Newton

[Jeremy Igo]

In his presser just now, Rivera says Cam convinced him to go for it on fourth down.

"Coach, I got it". Cam told Rivera. 

Rivera concluded "I trust him." 

[KillerKat]

Yep. Rivera is a pussy.

[Mr. Scot]

So if you "trust him", why did it take him having to yell? 

[davos]

We have a gutless little girly man from southern Cal as our coach.  

Tinkerbell Rivera.

Ron is a complete joke. Was a legitimately good coach back in 2013 when his back was on the wall after the first couple losses, but hasn't been the same since the end of that season for some reason. WHERE is the Riverboat???

[CatTower]

Maybe Ron just didn't want a plane to fly over with a sign to fire him next game?

[jfra78]

lol cam called him out and he buckled, we know who wears the pants in this relationship

[weyco2000]

No sh1t

[bigdog10]

yep. Unfortunately Shula and Rivera sabatoged him on the next play with one of the dumbest play calls of the year. 

[Castavar]

Yep. No doubt Rivera doesn't go for it if not for Cam. The fact that Ron's mindset at that point was to attempt a long FG tells me everything I need to know. Needs to get that Riverboat Ron spark back because this Ron is garbage.

[Paa Langfart]

Makeup hug on the sideline was cringe worthy

[Proudiddy]

"I trust him," Rivera said.  He was then heard mumbling under his breath, "...when he wears a tie."

[weyco2000]

FG makes it a 2 possession game, which is ultimately what they settled for. This place is becoming unbearable, 2 straight division wins and some of you guys find some damn scandal. Jeez lighten up and stop looking for a conspiracy!

    Does it truly matter how the event unfolds? I have seen this happen more than once in the past. QBs can sway a coach. It does not somehow make the coach less of a man. Sheesh.
