How would you feel about Tepper if Rivera keeps his job?

It would be great, odd year Rivera is always good for a winning season with a post season run.  I'm down for that.

It just depends on what Tepper's plan is as far as GM and coaching.  We sure love to rag on Ron, and he's earned his fair bit of it, but where do we go next?  Has Sean McVay lost his luster after the Rams started falling back to earth?  How many coaches out there are truly an upgrade in Tepper's eyes?

Also, Tepper watched the Steelers give lots of room to Cower and Tomlin after poor seasons only for them to come back and win the Super Bowl.

So who really knows.  If we are getting rid of a coach, I want an upgrade for sure, not a side or downgrade.

You’re trying to inject your logic into the team’s alternate years of sucking science. 

I'm not so much trying to inject anything as I am trying to exorcise something.

Specifically, I'm trying to clear the last evil spirits from the Jerry Richardson era out of our cursed abode.

i'd watch if it was raining, snowing, or just freezing and there were no outside activities to do.  my stomach is barely going to be able to look at that clown on the sidelines for 3 more games.  it would be a lot easier to deal with next year if the camera men and women never, ever showed rivera on the sideline.

I could live with it only if he paired him with a better GM.

I'd still think it was a mistake, though.

This is it. Obviously, Rivera worked with Gettleman but we were still back and forth. You can only coach the personnel that's out there and if you don't bring in good personnel, that's a problem. If you draft personnel and don't develop, that still boils down to GM. Hurney needs to go. If Rivera doesn't, then so be it, but something needs to be done. I don't think Hurney and Rivera are on the same page. I will be mad at Tepper if he does absolutely nothing after losing out at 6-10

What if JR put in the sale negotiations that Rivera can not be removed as head coach until his contract is up in 2020 as a way to protect Ron and his boy Marty?

Just a crazy thought....

Actually, that's not that crazy.

Yes it is.

You can't put any sort of conditions that affect the ability of the team to be competitive on a new owner.

I would imagine if two billionaires agree on the terms of a contract, they could put just about anything they want in it..  Not likely, but I don't think is COMPLETELY out of the question.

The NFL has to approve the sale. There's no way they would allow a condition like that.

Throw in that Tepper has removed every last item within the stadium that even hinted at Jerry Richardson's existence. Except the statue of course, and he seemed pretty pissed off about that. Doesn't exactly sound like someone who'd want additional conditions put on him by a guy he doesn't even seem to like.

So yes, it's COMPLETELY out of the question.

      Everyone Says BPA. Panthers Won’t.

      I mean I'd like to add a monster TE as much as anyone else but ultimately what use will that serve with a QB who had 54 passing yards in 4 quarters at one point last season? Defense defense defense.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.

      I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
