...and confirms that Rivera was being urged to make this move last season.

Quote

After 2016’s 6-10 finish, Rivera was under internal pressure to make a coordinator change. But staunchly loyal and firmly positive, he believed Shula could navigate personnel tweaks to make the offense thrive like it did in 2015. That evolution never happened as the Panthers struggled to establish an identity this season.

Sometimes the passing game worked. More often than not, it didn’t.

The running game finished inside the top five, but it was again largely dependent on Newton’s legs.

The Panthers would too often follow a dominant drive with quarter long-plus stretches that featured few yards and multiple three-and-outs.

Why the Panthers moved on from Mike Shula

Have to wonder what could have been if he'd have made this move a year ago.

That’s what I said in another post.

Ron got pushed, maybe even a deal over his extension. Also his extension is 2 years not more.

that indicates to me that he was put on a short leash too, told to make a move to get it, and it had better get better.

Thats whats crazy to think about, even with our quarter + long droughts...we were still able to put up 24-31 points regularly in the past 3 years...can you imagine a consistant offense?  30+ per game should be no issue with solid OC calling and execution.

Seems pretty clear from Voth's comments (and others by Scott Fowler) that Rivera had come to believe Shula didn't know how to properly use Christian McCaffrey.

Well if it was clear to fans he didn't I mean...

He was pretty late to the party on that one— pretty much everyone called that the day he was drafted.

      Winning isn't enough for Panther fans.

      Winning games and be a +500 team are good. But the goal is to win Super Bowl.  Chiefs had Alex Smith, went to playoff twice and still replaced him.   BY as of now: - To many fumbles - Completion in the intermediate range is just far below acceptable - Not enough of a deep throw threat....   The stats you try use is deceiving.  Catchable......  That is an opinion. Show me the completion %. And also, how does BY compare to other QBs using the stats you cited. Oh... ranked at 27

      The Entitlement Paradox: When Winning Isn't Enough for Panther fans.    Just the other season(s) we were praying for wins by any means. Brought in every run of the mill QB you could think of.  We know all sides of the ball was bad like egregious bad. However some how we have won 5 games and TOXIC ENTITLEMENT has emerged.    We are a team that has to take wins by anymeans nothing has changed. Keep pounding means it aint gonna be perfect!!    Some panther fans have now developed a toxic entitlement where even victories feel insufficient, demanding flawless performance, or perfection, which stems from historical success in which we dont have any lol. This mindset poisons communities by fostering relentless criticism, harassment, and ingratitude that undermine team morale and alienate casual supporters. For the new Carolina Panthers, this could manifest as fans booing Bryce Young after gritty wins for low passing yards despite low turnovers, pressuring tepper into premature changes mid-rebuild, or driving away talent through online abuse!! eroding the positive momentum from their recent 4-game streak has brought us. Trust and believe the players do see your toxicity.    Anyways here are some positive stats.      Most Accurate QB on... 20+ Yard Throws 1. Drake Maye (79.2%) 2. Sam Darnold (79.2%) 3. Bryce Young (75.0%) 10-19 Yard Throws 1. Jaxson Dart (88.0%) 2. Jayden Daniels (82.9%) 3. Drake Maye (80.7%) 0-9 Yard Throws 1. Drake Maye (92.9%) 2. Spencer Rattler (92.6%) 3. Bryce Young (91.7%) @FantasyPtsData
