Ron may have had a reason for going "Riverboat" again

According to Joe Person in his latest Athletic article, last week's disastrous 49er game left Panthers owner David Tepper, quote, "livid".

From what I've seen of Tepper, I can imagine that seeing him blow his stack could probably be a little frightening, so I wouldn't really blame Rivera for having a little extra motivation today.

Person mentioned too that he got a "we'll see" response from Rivera when he asked about the possibility of putting Newton on IR.

Also regarding that quarterback question, there's this from Tre Boston...

“We love Kyle Allen. We love Cam Newton. Whoever’s there for us, we know we’re gonna get the job done,” said safety Tre Boston, who had his first INT of the season Sunday. “It’s amazing to have two great quarterbacks. When we go out there, play Tennessee and not worry about our quarterback situation. When next week we can go to the Packers and not care who’s at quarterback.”

Glad to hear Tepper wasn't lukewarm about the horrible loss last week. Regardless of how the qb situation shakes out, it's reassuring to hear we have an owner who isn't going to consider the status quo acceptable if the status quo looks like dog poo.

Tepper had every reason to be angry---coming off a bye, no adjustments, just standing there with his arms folded with that "I have no clue" look on his face....made me mad.

Basically, Ron counts on some stud to carry him.  They shut down Cam, Ron lost the game.  Shut down CMC, Ron loses.

Say what you want about Bellicheat, and for my part I will say plenty. The man doesn't rely on his star qb to win for him. He goes out there and cheats his way to victory any way he can. 

*mumbles*

Also sometimes he's just better at tactics than the other guy

Mother@#%er it hurt to have to say that!

From what I've read, the "Riverboat" call for the fake punt didn't come from the sidelines. It was an audible by Collin Jones himself. 

I'm sure seeing Tepper livid was not a great feeling for Ron. I'd just caution connecting it to the fourth down call. 

Is this real? Colin Jones is granted this sort of trust?

Unless we're in desperate need if that roster spot, it only makes sense to keep the option of Cam returning on the table.

We still have an open roster spot that we seem to be in no hurry to fill.

I can't remember if it was Person or Rodrigue, but one of them said the Panthers are just "waiting for the right fit" or until they have a need.

      Rookie minicamp

      This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.

      I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
