Dumb hypothetical that I find interesting.

As the title suggests, this is an incredibly unwell thought out hypothetical, based mostly on assumed intentions and actions by many individuals.

There is an accepted idea, that Ron and company have ridden on the talent of Cam Newton to keep their jobs.

And they've potentially ridden it to the point of complete exhaustion, and have potentially killed their job security savior.

Are they aware of this mishandling  that they then make decisions that best create a narrative for themselves to keep their jobs, and lament their failures on to an injured player trying to get healthy because of their mishandlings.

Has Ron done anything right? Jeez he's human makes mistakes like all of us has bad habits just like all of us. Pretty sure Cam is the one saying he's healthy enough to play trying to much to be a real life superhero. I fault Ron for not letting he eyes see that something is obvious wrong with Cam

I think that there is disconnect. RR knew Cam had a shoulder injury last year---he inserted Heinicke to throw hail mary passes.  He knowingly played a QB with an injury to his throwing shoulder.  He had no options, in his mind.  Cam gave him the best chance to win that day--to hell with the future.

Well Ron, welcome to the future.  If Kyle Allen can save your ass, God bless him. 

I still think that there is something more to this ordeal than Cam's injury. I am getting tired of these injuries that are diagnosed as minor (Williams, Cam) and turn into major ordeals a game later.

Agreed. There comes a time when you have to step in to do what’s best for your franchise qb for the player himself as well as the team. One thing all or nothing showed us is that Tepper had to step in and say Cam is done during the New Orleans game. It should’ve never gotten to that point. That to me will be the strongest negative opinion of Ron Rivera I have when I think of him coaching.

      D and D is the answer.

      It works very well it’s just frustrating because it can win enough games to keep those three coaches employed even when they don’t innovate or ever make a decision that doesn’t come from a chart. If they weren’t so robotic in their decision making they’d be in the top tier of NFL coaches.

      For Bryce’s obvious shortcomings (bad pun), there is upside to his game. This isn’t being a homer or apologists, but I like to consider myself fair in criticism.  He’s far tougher than I ever thought he’d be. I really thought homie would have been broken in half by now. I don’t know how he’s not, but he’s not.  He is prone to turning the ball over early in games which digs a huge hole the team is not built to come back from, but dude DOES come up with crucial first down in crucial situations. It’s NEVER pretty, but he just kind of has the shining. He gets bailed out LOTS, and the team still loses games because of him, but he’s a bit of an enigma. He’s a turnover machine that is clutch in big moments.  He’s a smart/elusive cat. He kind of has to be with his limitations. His audibles are almost always correct and he understands coverages. I don’t see him getting fooled too frequently. His turnovers are almost never the ‘damnit Jake/Cam!’ brand we have been accustomed to. They are ALWAYS due to his size/strength limitations.  Strip sacks that shouldn’t be. Picks that happened because he just don’t got that NFL arm. He is still prone to panicking and the wheels can and do fall off at a much higher rate than his peers.  The team is winning on the backs of the defense, running game and special teams… but they’re winning, and unbelievably 1 game behind Tampa. As long as this is happening and Bryce doesn’t go full meltdown, Dave is going to keep him in. He is not getting pulled.

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      This was a terrible podcast. A bunch of uninformed homers that had worse takes than the bottom 10% of the Huddle. I listened to a handful of podcasts this past offseason in search of new Panthers material since John Ellis doesn't do his pod anymore and The 4 Man Rush don't either. Immediately deleted it after the handful I listened to. Truly terrible.
