Rivera acknowledges"all in" approach to this season

[Snake]

The last time I heard that statement we were in cap hell for four years after. 

[Mr. Scot]

Moves that sound likely so far...

- Veteran receiver (maybe Wallace)

- Veteran safety (maybe Boston)

- Derek Anderson stays as backup

- Graham Gano gets paid

- Panthers use a mid-round pick on Newton's future successor

- Norwell gone, Lotulelei probably gone unless he doesn't get a good offer elsewhere

Rivera knows things can change quickly with a new owner

Buckle your seat belts.

more like break open the checkbook. I'm glad that the head coach can see the window is closing, as well. We don't need more guys to develop. We still have those guys developing. We need instant starters and impact players with a veteran presence. STarting a 5th round safety is NOT A fuging OPTION

I don’t recall a coach or gm ever mentioning going all in.

It's about time. Luke, TD, Kalil, Cam, Olsen, and Peppers to get a ring. We've been "looking towards the future" for half a decade now riding the same core of players. 

Yeah I hear you and we might just be able to pull a Hoosiers type story but gotta get more speed and playmakers or its a dream.  We arent that far away IMHO.  Best move we could make is find a dance partner and move down a little from 24.  Like Jeremy mentioned we need starting level talent at multiple positions but its doable.

Lol at you guys thinking this team is going all the way this year just because Ron says they are going all in.

Hurney is itching to trade not only next year's first but the year after

These quotes are a microcosm of what makes Ron such an average head coach.

"I could be fired, so I better really make this year count."

It's the same thing that birthed "Riverboat Ron". A sense of urgency to win should be an innate characteristic in a head coach, not something that pops up every few years when your job is on the line.

exactly!!!

[Lords0fPain]

the answer is already on the roster...

"All in" relating to what?

If you are talking about contracts and spending money I'm actually thinking the opposite.

Why would Richardson pay out a lot of signing bonuses for a team he is about to sell?  I would think it would just eat into his profits.

If we are talking about effort then we have other problems.

As in "Super Bowl or bust".

What that translates to in practical terms...well, that's the discussion.

I thought we traded Benjamin specifically to make Funchess the number one.

Now we're not sure?

Who did you hear say that we traded Benjamin to make Funchess the number one guy ?  Other than a bunch of huddle rats or talking heads in the sports world ?  As I remember it Rivera said on of the reasons they did it was to " put more speed on the field" - never once heard him mention Funchess is the no 1 receiver now.  Maybe you can post me a link.
