You mean 7-8-1 division winning season. Ironic that one year this wins the division, but this year 11 wins only gets you second place.

Impressive is your lack of knowledge.

Yep 7-8-1.  Sorry didnt mean to overlook the friggin tie against Cincy.  Weak Sauce.  Impressive is your being content with a consistently mediocre franchise and defending the one leading it.

That one win was a bad loss

It was

But even beside that we've won 3 out of the last 5 division titles.  In what has become the toughest division in the NFL. 

Weve made playoff appearances 4 out of the last 5 seasons.

Not many coaches can say that.  And people keep throwing up hes not a risk taker like Sean Payton.  That Sean Payton has only won this division once out of the last 5 seasons.  And while he has a superbowl victory, it has a big * beside it because of bounty gate. Where he was suspended a whole season and some thought that was him getting off lightly

He's already said he's selling the team and left day to day operations and he's still making decisions like this. The next ownership should be finding a GM and let him build the team.

For the Panthers’ next owner, this contract is a great deal: If Carolina wins the Super Bowl this year, the new owner is buying the team knowing that his Super Bowl-winning coach is locked up for three more seasons. If Carolina loses tomorrow in New Orleans and then has a disappointing 2018 season, the new owner can fire Rivera and hire a new coach, at the cost of a buyout that would sound like a lot of money to an ordinary person but would be a pittance to anyone who can afford to buy an NFL team.

So Rivera will still have to impress the Panthers’ next owner or else he’ll be out, new contract or not.

I can't describe Rivera's style of coaching.  I would like to see more intensity in his approach to the players.

I would also like to see Shula come down from booth and interact with the players.  Just maybe,  some fire would get ignited under some of the players who make "fake plays" by falling on the ground to avoid tackles.

Cam and McCaffrey can not carry the whole game.  

Go Panthers and show "who dat"  who WE are.   "KEEP POUNDING UNTIL THE END"

Figures..  We're stuck

This is JR making sure he gets paid before he leaves. New Owner/GM can clean house, although I doubt they’d make any changes right out of the gate. Since JR is selling the team and not the league, he will pick a group that likes the current structure. I expect very few changes early on

Fans complaining about this are like the fans complaining about Harbaugh in SF right before he left.

Then they fell back to earth hard on their a$$'s going back to being mediocre and reminding them of the trash they were before Harbaugh.

 

Rivera has made the playoff 4 times in his 7 years here (4 out of the last 5 seasons) .  Thats as many appearances this whole organization had in the 16 year history of the organization leading up to RR

 

Just let that sink in.  He's done as much in the last 5 years as this Whole entire organization had done in the.....16 years prior to him being here

Tine Becker made this decision not JR.

    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly. 
    • Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
