Thursday night games always have been and continue to be pure garbage.  Not making excuses because the Panthers played poorly, but I think folks on the inside agree that these games are garbage because players aren't ready to play and the home team has a HUGE advantage.

That's how he operates.  Not once has Ron or his staff ever been responsible for repeated pathetic performances.  It will be on the players to "execute" his masterful game plan.  He's the king of deflection, and he's clueless.

 

    Playoffs 4-5 years, with this year still to come, NFCC game, SB game.

 

    Only 5 coaches have more wins in the last 51/2 years. 

 

    Only 6 active coaches have more wins.

 

    Yupperz. No doubt about it. The guy  is clueless. lol

Ron Rivera says Panthers didn't watch the Steelers game as a team. "There was no directive to watch the tape."

Does not mean they don't break it down in their position meetings. That's where work gets done...right?

 

Just like Kyle Love said...everyone wants to believe the worst.

Can someone recap the TD article? I can't read without paying the observer a digital fee. 

No paywall. Video is here too. I hate the Charlotte Observer.

    • 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.
