Ron Rivera is too scared to be a great NFL Head Coach

Richardson fired Dom Capers with 7 or 8 years remaining on a 10 year contract.

Of course that was back in the day when Jerry thought he would bring a Superbowl to the Carolinas within the first 10 years.

did you know Siefert had a 92% win rate before coming to Carolina?  Would still be number one all time if he had stayed on his boat.

ron rivera will always make decisions that allow casual observers and people with an axe to grind to blame individual players. it takes extraordinary effort from the players to win because this coaching staff refuses to stick its neck out there and make decisions that defy standard football conventions from the 1980s or w/e. at one point today the announcers talked about how much the players respect him but i don't see how when he throws them under the bus week after week

Holy poo, *so* much 100% this.

Rivera is slightly better than Fox.    JR loves mediocre coaches who coach like it's 1983.    I wouldn't expect changes while he's still making any decision about this team.    The fact that Hurney was brought back in ANY capacity is so telling.     JR is at Al Davis level honestly, but at least Al Davis seemed to care about winning.   

We've said it before, but once again, until JR passes or stops making decisions this team is going to be straight up in the middle 50% of the time, at the bottom 40% of the time, and then you'll get a rare 10% where we have a really good team but it's just ruined by mediocre coaching.

Can you imagine Cam Newton and Christian McCaffrey (and maybe even a Funchess and CAP) in a Sean McVay offense?

    • 4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.
    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
