Regardless of what we have heard in the media and from Rivera I think Hurney is gone - maybe to a front office job away from gm duties.  Rivera will unfortunately last another season under a new gm.

I hope youre correct. This team has never been consistent under Hurney. We started winning as soon as he was fired last time and started losing as soon as he returned. Yea, I know we went to the playoffs last year but getting knocked out first round doesnt really count.

  • Rivera seems to suggest that he has had positive talks with Tepper and feels confident.  He is not interested in playing Cam, KK, or Turner as a result.  That is not a good sign, and he seems to be brazenly throwing this into the face of the fans---because he is tired of hearing the questions about his job--it is as if Tepper is his only concern, not us.  Pisses me off.
  • However, Tepper has been on a roller coaster too--like buying a stock that makes money for the first half of the year and then nosedives the second half.  He made his money by making calculated decisions about future performance--so he may have been behind the demotions and firings.  If he wanted Tomlin fired in Pittsburgh once upon a time, how could he not want Rivera fired? 

At the moment, I am not seeing the signs that RR is going anywhere.  MH?  Maybe RR has convinced him that personnel is the issue--having said that, Moore, Jackson, and Thomas make a good draft by most standards--especially if you consider the LBs (Carter, Smith) have some value.  What was he thinking on Gaulden or Haynes?  I dunno--he is the same guy who used to draft college S to play at CB and CBs to play S.  He brought us Namakumara and pverpaid for Charles Godfrey.  He drafted undersized DE busts Norwood and Brown.  Does he learn from his mistakes? Can he evaluate talent? 

While Hurney's draft did not hurt him, free agency was tight.  He brought in Reid.  He also let Star walk and signed Poe.  That could be the dagger.  If I am Tepper, I let Hurney go.  Hard to fire a .555 coach with a Super Bowl appearance and three of eight seasons over 11 wins--and twice named NFL coach of the year.  Most know that was Cam and Luke despite RR, but Tepper needs to know it. 

Rivera stays, Hurney (I am on the fence) goes.  Sir Purr--I don't think he is really a knight--Mixon sucks.

How do you fire a GM for the failure of a staff. Rivera has already ran Hurney and Dave out of town. Also as clueless as Rivera is with the draft are you going to pair him with a young GM? Can you say disastrous. Rivera is the problem and as long as he's employed the Panthers are not going to win anything.

How many GMs does Rivera need to prove he sucks 80% of the time.

His win percentage is .555, something we all think is good enough to hold onto a job--but he had the best athlete ever to play QB on offense and one of the smartest and best to ever play MLB in Luke.  Imagine the Steelers with Big Ben only winning half of their games.

Tomlin (do not forget that Tepper supposedly wanted him  fired at some point) has been in Pittsburgh for 12 seasons.  He has NEVER had a team fall below .500 and his career win percentage is 66%.  Tomlin wins 1.5 games per year more than Rivera. 

That is consistency, and we do not have it with RR.  We should never have a losing season with an elite QB and a stud D, which has been the case much of the time.

      Be careful what you wish for

      You absolutely can have hope. You can’t convert people though; making advocacy posts are kind of … not reading the room.   I had a small hope that he would be able to at least manage some games and that they could make it work in some kind of no fun to watch fashion.  But honestly I had 100% determined he was not NFL starter material, and I had conviction. So to root for him to marginally succeed goes against the best interest of the Panthers long term, according to my beliefs. I wanted him gone the minute he got here if I am honest.It was up to him to prove otherwise.  He has rarely shown me anything to think I was wrong on his ceiling.  He did show me some courage last year, standing in the pocket and stepping into his throw in the face of pressure - but that has gone somewhere. He made some nice throws last year in places too, but they invested in him on the level of the Atlanta game should be his norm. Good luck seeing that again on Sunday. Still, he did it once, so technically it could happen again.

      On that TD, he sure didn't get any help from Scott at FS! While we're pointing out Blue Chips...Horn has proven to be a lock-down, (dare I say)elite CB and DB is one of the best at DT. Which brings me to a topic that has unfortunately been much on my mind lately...2026. Our important (IMO) FAs are: Rico Dowdle - As you pointed out, Etienne is developing nicely and Brooks is still untested potential, so not a big loss. Cade Mays and Brady Christensen - I think we can keep both without breaking the bank. BC tested the market this year and it was all but non-existent. He's a solid backup, but backup linemen don't get paid. Mayes is our only starter on the line who's a FA and he's technically not a starter. Corbett is a FA, but good riddance as far as I'm concerned. He stays hurt and can't snap the damn ball when he is healthy. Hunter Renfrow signed a 1 -year prove it deal, and will resign a team friendly deal again I think. He has repeatedly said that he only wants to play here and is Coker's backup anyway. DJ Wonnum - Solid mid-tier guy that I would like back, but is easily replaceable. I will not cry if he walks. Every other FA is bottom of the barrel roster fillers. As it stands now, we need (in order); QB, ILB, OL/DL depth, secondary depth. If we resign Mays, OL is in tact again and still pretty darned good. Horne, Jackson, and Smith-Wade are solid starters as are T-mac and Coker. We have some promising young WRs in Tremayne and Horn. I see us trying to get a FA Chain mover and/or resign Renfrow. RB room looks really good. TE is a conundrum, Tremble will never be a great pass catcher and Sanders will never be a great blocker. Evans is starting to show signs of life, but not enough to tell yet. This could be another spot we try to upgrade via free agency, having a proven TE could really help our rookie QB.
