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.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
