David Newton On Rivera

New owner David Tepper wants to win, and he wants to win now. Should the Panthers continue their current skid and finish with a losing record and miss the playoffs, Rivera would have only three winning seasons in eight. Granted, he made the Super Bowl in 2015 and was the NFL Coach of the Year twice, which should give him plenty of job security. But if the team collapses after a 6-2 start, he might not have the loyalty that former owner Jerry Richardson showed him. -- David Newton


 

And ESPN has his seat as pretty cool. But I want to know why David mention 3 winning seasons in 8, if we lose out his job is still safe just cause what he did in the past. It's what have you done for me lately.

Rivera's seat is definitely not cool if Tepper is hell-bent on winning now (which he should be). We have two elite players in Cam and Luke who are nearing the ends of their prime. If this current tailspin continues I think he's as good as gone. Honestly, right now I'd put it at 75% gone. I think we have to get into the playoffs for him to have any chance of staying and I can't see any better than a 25% chance of that given our remaining schedule and teams both the Seahawks and Redskins holding tiebreakers over us.

If I was in Tepper’s shoes, only way Ron keeps his job is some type of miracle run deep into the playoffs and a SB win. That’s not happening with this team. Hate to be that guy.

Best case scenario: We may grab a wildcard win if the matchup is right i.e we get the redskins or something. But we will get stomped in the 2nd round.

Worst case scenario: we lose out. Hey, If we lose this Sunday, this may really happen. Browns are no slouch. We may beat Atlanta (they are tapping out like us lol) and saints backups

So y’all talk poo about every David Newton article, until it’s one about firing Rivera? I’m over it. Wait till a Jason Garrett walks into Carolina and is worse than Ron and then we’ll really have something to bitch about.

Cowboys are better than us right now

Rowboat Ron has a regular season record of 70-52 (.574).  

Fox was 68-68 (.500) in regular season games.

Which do you prefer?

Note: the other 2 head coaches in Panthers history were a combined 46-66 (.411).

CONCLUSION: Be careful what you wish for.

That record has much more to do with Newton than it does Rivera.

Ron does not have control over player personnel, "The Big Cat" & Money Bags Marty made those decisions as it relates to the current team.

That said, how did you feel about the extensions that were given to Greg Olsen and Thomas Davis?

Were you against those when they happened?

I meant his devotion to starting vets and only giving new players a chance if someone gets injured, it is one of Ron's flaws.  I am fine with giving extensions when they are earned which they were in both cases.

Hindsight being 20/20 and all, the whole premise of Ron Rivera and Cam Newton was flawed from the start. Why draft a QB number one overall and then stick him with a defensive-minded head coach and owner? I guess it could work out, but a conservative approach to offense is not what you want when you're a picking a QB with the #1 pick in the draft. 

So the team chose a QB to save the team and shape its future, and then ignored the offense for the rest of that draft. And the only serious attempts at improving the offense for the next 5 seasons were drafting Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess (a TE converted to WR). If the plan was to make the defense the driving force of the team, they should have just drafted Von Miller instead. He and Luke could have done some damage - especially with a young Greg Hardy still on the team

This is your defense of Rivera ?

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
