    You know what. We did have a MAGIC year in 2015. But how many teams have done that? Does not a coach that can deliver that, DESERVE some credit?

 

    We are 6-3. We are in the thick of things. Yet again. We HAVE had SUCCESS in the recent past. We have a coach that has proven to be able to lead a team to the Promised land. Yet, that seems to be somehow less than acceptable?

 

    I don't get it.

One magic season is great.

Perennial contending seasons are better.

And honestly, can you really call it magic if we didn't win it all?

Baby steps- get to where you have winning seasons in a row. Build a team slowly, but create a juggernaut. Up and down is not the way.

 

Fire Gettleman and bring in the Hurninator. Lather, rinse repeat. Enjoy it now, it only gets worse.

    Come on. 15-1, and a SuperB owl. Yes, I call that a magical season.

 

   It took Rivera two years to become basically a perennial playoff team. As we have missed the playoff once since then. And it looks as though we are headed that way again.

 

    I mean. What more can he do?

Would like consistency, wish he string together a few winning seasons 

 

    Is not the goal at the beginning of the season to make the playoffs? Once you get there, anything is possible. Well, we have been there 3 out of the last 4 years. And look to make it again this year.

 

    That seems pretty consistent to me.

He had arguably the 2 best players in the league in 2015. This team has 4 sure fire hall of famers. It’s not Rivera. He is no different than Mike Brown when he was coaching the Cavs with Lebron

 

    This isn't basketball. You need more than a few great player to make the playoffs. I mean, c'mon man.

 

    Cam and Luke are great. But they are not the two best players in the league. Don't over exaggerate trying to under value Rivera's accomplishments.

WE didn't have anything to do with making the playoffs in that 7-9-1 year, the rest of the NFCS just sucked more.  So as far as I'm concerned he had 2 good years out of 6.

We are contending.

15-1 made people believe that should happen every year. That's not realistic.

 

    Not sure what it is about some Panther fans. They just assume winning is a birth rite. We have had more success in our short existence than a whole lot of team. Yet, for some reason, that just ain't enough.

    Quantify it however you wish. The fact remains. We have made the playoffs 3 out of the last 4 years. And are looking strong to make it again this year.

 

    If the goal is to make the playoffs, which we seem to be doing quite regularly lately. What more can Rivera do?

 

    And it was 7-8-1. If you are going to throw shade at Rivera. Maybe you could, you know, get your facts correct.

Why do you not include his first 2 years, I don't understand how they are not relative.  Anyway, I know that there are a lot worse options out there as head coach.  We have had a few bad ones over the year, and Rivera might be our best coach in Carolina.  TBH, I would be okay with RR If he ever got rid of Shula.  But, we all know he wont.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
