Heineke was Ron's guy for long time until Allen proved he was better when games actually mattered against real competition. How easily people forget and try to pretend they know more than NFL coaches

People on here acting like they know more about football than Rivera are like people who would claim to know more about financial investments and markets than Tepper.

Rivera is not perfect, but he wouldn't be coaching in his 9th season, take a team to a SB, win 3 consecutive division titles, and win Coach of the Year, all while competing against teams with elite QBs like Brees and Ryan if he wasnt competent at his job.

I honestly believe Rivera will be let go if we dont make the playoffs this year (although he will probably be quickly hired by another team).

If that's what happens, I'll support it.

But I damn sure hope we make the playoffs and compete for the SB this year.

I will never understand the mindset of hoping your team fails just to justify your opinion of the coach

Let's face it, Heinicke outplayed both Allen and Grier, but the writing is on the wall. I hope he gets picked up by some team, the kid has something to offer.

Not being able to finish a full NFL game last season doomed Heinecke. Through no fault of his own I’d add, the Panthers expect their starting QB to endure 1-2 concussions per game

Exactly.  It was people here wanting Allen ahead of Heineke as a matter of fact.  Now suddenly Heineke is better again because he's tearing up 4th stringers.

FWIW I don't really have an opinion on who is better, but I think the difference is so negligible that it doesn't make sense to argue over it.  They both aren't good.

    • 4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.
    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
