Panthers with 3 safeties on roster, promote a 6th CB

Gotta think Tepper is looking at an entirely new coaching staff.  The leadership here is totally ridiculous right now.  That we have not made a move at safety is unacceptable.

Do you look there first, though?

I've been a Rivera critic and I'm well aware of his flaws, but it's fair to argue that he was more successful (including an insanely good season in 2015) with a different GM in charge.

I've utterly given up on us ever actually trying to address the safety situation as long as Rivera is coach. We just don't give a single fug about the safety positions. I like plenty of things about Ron as our head coach, but his defensive philosophy regarding the secondary is one of the major things o disagree with and I feel that the NFL is ever evolving to a more and more pass happy offensive approach while we seem hell-bent on playing 1980s defense.

Mr Scot, I would fire everyone in charge and start with Hurney.  This team will go no where with these clowns running things.  How in the hell have we not looked at any safeties out there?  Fuggin unacceptable.

I would love to hear Hurney or Rivera once just admit that they have screwed us at the safety position and have perpetually devalued it.  Even if it changes nothing, I want to hear them admit this gross negligence. Our last line of defense is a fuging joke.

So my hope beyond hope, my completely not based on evidence take is that Hurney and Rivera are putting a small patch on a large rip and with the bye next week want to take that time to find a safety and be able to work out the details without rushing into a signing or trade for just one game. 

Again this would be a smart move. However, is this what our FO is doing?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
