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.

      BREAKING: Panthers have interest in Deebo Samuel

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      XL might never reach his full potential here but I think he does have a legitimate shot at becoming a pretty good #2-3. We knew when we picked him that he was raw but his athletic traits were hard to pass on.  I still remember coming here and telling 85% of huddlers to not give up on DB yet after his first couple of years here.  I just knew DB was going to special. I wouldn't put XL in that exact same category but I wouldn't write him off yet. I think our playcalling is also working against his strengths.  At the very least, we should have a servicable #3 receiver w/ speed between XL, Horn Jr, and Meetchie.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      By Basbear · Posted

      I think we haven't praised Morgan/tilis enough. In this thread we have some huddles best and its hard to figure out what to do with the 19th pick, if you understand that. Im also posting what "I" believe they are doing and what I feel is best. Those FA signess send a clear signal- They are going all-in to win this coming season. If you factor that in, just believe it first, it 100% changes what going on with pick 19, cause 51st pick doesn't matter as the talent level drop is petty big between the two. So 19 is the biggest difference maker on the current plan of all-in for the 2026.  Then you factor in who will be there at, (I better hold off on my other strong thought here- I think trade up is the best help too, yes using that 3rd to do so too...) DT, ILB(Allen? he didn't run), OC, QB(ooo my I don't want to rage drool my hate again about how I feel here, plus F it draft TY simp not joking)....... those 4 groups don't have the "BPA" at 19. You can add ILB Hill in there, but I feel 19 just is too high, other disagree.  Slot or TE it is......Kenyon is the only TE worth a 1st and he's the classic draft dilemma- All sort of he's a top ten lock to he's a non-blocking one trick WR that's not even worth 2nd currency. Then there's he's the clear winner from the TE group, thus increases his value more no matter the opinion.  Honestly I see the Matt Millen outcome as the current odds favorite, I think the huddle would go bonkers for weeks as result......just the truth tho, WR had the highest odds to be the clear BPA and slot is a need...plus if we are talking about Walker being a one year deal, Coker is a one year too(he may have another controll yr, I got to confirm it tho). Plus God forbid Tmac gets hurt, the drop in talent from him or Coker to Moore is fuging scary, I'd say more than the recent OT stone fellow. It goes back back to adding talent no matter what, draft now help, and where are  the weak points are in the system you want to run....

      Buccaneers sign LB Christian Roseboom

      good for him...but bigger is realizing that we are starting to develop talent to the point that when our FA's hit the market, teams ACTUALLY want them.  hasnt been that way in a minute.
