  1. 1. Which scenario are you more inclined to choose?

    • Stick with Ron and hope he turns things around somehow in the next few years.

    • Blow this Bih up and hire a new staff and fresh pair of Eyes at GM and ride it out through a rebuild situation (Or get lucky and bounce back quickly).

I believe Burns is something special.  Anyone can get injured.  We got an amazingly promising rookie at a position of great need.  I don't think you can fault the pick, especially after seeing he has the fastest get off in the NFL as a rookie.  You have to remember, not every first round pick is a star.  It seems to be with Hurney at the helm, but things could be very different.

Blaze I believed that LT tackle was our biggest need and if Dillard was there we grab him and cement the LT spot for at least 10 to 15 years.  This last draft was deep in pass rusher who might not be as fast as Burns but were more physical than Burns.  Maybe Little will work out and I am wrong next year but the last two starts for him have been brutal.  We would not had to traded our 1st of our two 2nd round draft pick and waited almost 100 picks to draft in the 3rd round.

They gotta blow it up even if they make the wrong hires. Fresh blood at the top is needed for better or worse. 

Ron could move on, be a dominant DC again and get another opportunity but for us it's ran its course.

Have you seen our defense get gashed on sundays? I don't think Ron Rivera will be a DC again.... Maybe in the CFL

Have been a Ron supporter since he’s been in Carolina. Didn’t jump on the Fire Ron Wagon last year when the team imploded. But after watching this supposed “SB or bust” team play the way it has I’m finally done with Ron. He’s done great things for the team and the community but it’s time for him to go.

He’ll get another HC job soon... would love to see what he can do in Cleveland

I think Ron has a lot of strengths as a coach. (and his share of weaknesses) He's an excellent leader/motivator in my view, and players seem to genuinely like playing for him.

But change is a constant, and sometimes the old must make way for the new.

New owner was the beginning, and I *do* think that it has reached the time for a new organizational thumbprint.

I look at an organization like the Ravens and how adaptable they are and have been, and I'd love to see that sort of thing for our Panthers. Just a savvy approach that finds ways to tailor things to the strengths of your existing players along with a front office that is capable of restocking the cupboards over the years.

Let's do this. Lead the charge Tepper!

We can always play the what-if game.  Maybe Little wouldn't have been there.  I believe our drafting is a lot better with Hurney than we had with Gettleman.  We have some linemen that show some promise, I don't think our problems can be placed on one individual.  We have a lot of guys that are not showing up on Sunday.

I think it is too early to judge these rookies, especially those dealing with injuries.  We have a short memory on this forum sometimes.  Gettleman took Benjamin with a first round pick.  Funchess with a second.  Vernon Butler with a first.

The grass just might not be greener I guess is my point.  Hurney is not perfect, but he has made good moves.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
