How did Ron fool people?

I swear outside Carolina and (few inside) think this man is a good HC. Is it because he won coach of the year twice? Cause he went to the Superbowl? Why do people still call him Riverboat?

Is it the price of being in a small market that people don't actually pay attention?

5 seasons finishing under .500. 5 seasons out of 8. No back to back winning seasons, still finishing under .500 this late into Ron career. So can any one tell me how he continues fooling them? Based on "reports", he's about to fool our new owner

Most old people are incredibly naive. Have you seen how many old people get scammed by those fake IRS scams? 

Most of Ron's defenders are old naive people who are afraid of change. Ron has basically pulled a scam over the entire NFL over the past 8 seasons.

I swear if tepper gives ron another year tepper will lose any goodwill he has had.. he will just be another JR 2.0 to most of us.

Much of it is that he's had Cam to carry him on his shoulders and there definitely are people that would rather attribute any success the team has had on Ron rather than Newton.  Those coach of the year awards should be sitting on Cam's trophy shelf.

Also, narrative.

Since Cam came into the league they never changed their pre/post draft narrative on Cam no matter what. So it's easy for them to be like "oh Rivera is winning(or has to deal) with THAT QB". Whereas the fans of the team actually know wtf is going on.

Riding Cam’s coattails for 8 years. Cam single handedly won him those two COYs and has carried this team kicking and screaming for at least the last 6 years. 

You mean the defense? For most of our sb run year the defense gave Cam excellent posistion every possession. How many sacks and turn overs did we have that year?

He caught lightning in a bottle in 2015 (then proceeded to get thoroughly out-coached and out-schemed in the SB) and everyone inside the Panthers' organization has been waiting for him to recapture that magic. It's obvious at this point that it's not gonna happen.

Even in '15 Mr Defense Rivera's D was giving up big time leads and letting teams come back.

Yep. We'd build a cushion and then go conservative on offense and start playing prevent D and try to hold on in a nail biter. It worked out that year, but Rivera's philosophies provide a very narrow margin of error.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.

      They will still be a playoff team but they aren't contenders anymore IMO. They won't be able to spend like they have when they went to a SB and proved he couldn't carry a win at that level with a really good team around him. Now he is going to have to do it with less to spend around him. They just locked in to being a playoff bound team that's going to be a known speed bump for whoever will represent the NFC in the SB.

      Hmm. I think he'll live up to it. Last year, about half of his team was on IR it seems, at one time or another. Year before, Super Bowl appearance. Year before that, playoff run after being third on the depth chart and being pressed into service. Is he one of the greatest in the game right now? Nope. No chance of that. Is he in the top 10 going into next season? Pretty good chance of that.  Would 20 or more teams in this league love to have the guy as their starting QB. Most likely so. He's a good QB who can implement his coach's game plan to a T and has both the confidence of and confidence in his teammates. That'll take you a long way in this league if you've got the right cast around you, and he does.
