Similar record after bye weeks, I think. Rivera and extra time just don't seem to mesh well.

I have to admit I don't really understand that.

It’s because Rivera likes clockwork, rhythm, flow.

Its always been his best asset and worst downfall. It’s why we look worse in late or primetime games(not always but if our overall flow is fuged then way worse).

Anything that disrupts it is like a reset button back to zero.

You're an NFL head coach. You adjust.

Honestly cannot understand how Rivera has a contingent of supporters around here. Dude is horrible.

Because he's a great guy.

You ever have that friend that you really care about who desperately wants to be a singer or an actor or a dancer or whatever but while you really really want to see them live their dreams, objectively you know they suck at it?

That's Rivera.

I agree with everything except this. Any HC who says he’d give his Franchise QB a concussion “I’d have taken the shot too” is probably not the “greatest” of people. 

Thats just me though

I put that under him as a head coach, but I grant there's an argument to be made.

I do believe he's a great guy all around, but a terrible decision maker.

So he defends Cams mentality and will to win. Defends his QB and you poo on him for defending cam? Hypocritical at best.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Of course it's a crapshoot to find a truly elite QB. But we don't even need that to be competitive or successful. Our two best long term starters in 3 decades of existence were both flawed yet productive passers and each led us to a Super Bowl. Hell Jake Delhomme in the year where his arm went off a cliff and we had to start Matt Moore for a couple spells we had a superior passing offense than anything we've seen under Bryce Young the last 3 years. We're still trying to crack the top 25. All I'm saying is this is not the 2023 Panthers by any means. The cupboards are not bare. We are not working with scraps. We have invested through the nose to build up the roster and the trenches on both sides of the ball. We've also added multiple first and second day pass catchers in the draft. If a QB can't succeed here they are cooked.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      That last line is the key. Passing game lives or dies off the running game. I struggle to see any help the passing has provided in return - there is no pass to op n up the run to speak of.  Add in that we have downgraded the run blocking at left tackle according to analysts,and I really don’t know what to expect from C….  It puts more load on th passing game to help out
