Dumb hypothetical that I find interesting.

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
