I know everyone wants Ron gone but what advantages are really gained by doing it quickly? 

It’s not like we are going to hire his replacement anytime soon.

Who would be the interim coach? Turner?

What if he goes on a winning streak and the players start to campaign to keep him? 
 

What’s  our best chance for good draft picks? 
 

Ddon’t get me wrong, I’m ready for a change also.  I’m just not sure there are real advantages to making a move now as opposed to the end of the season.

None. Beleive it or not, Rivera is highly respected in this league and will one day be a hall of famer. Firing him now would show disrespect and has zero benefit anyway because all of the good prospects will be with their current teams through the playoffs anyway. Why would a respected prospect want to coach for us if we fired a respected man 5 games early for no reason. Of course i dont expect logic from the huddle though, especially after a loss. Lol

Just curious about the future hall of fame comment. Are you saying Ron Rivera is going into the NFL pro football hall of fame as a coach?

The peace of mind it would give the entire fanbase to know there's not the miracle million-to-one chance that "Super Genius" Tepper will keep his good buddy Ron for another year.

THAT'S the advantage.

Its a firm statement that the organization is tired of moving backwards so they feel like they have to take an immediate step to stop the "bleeding".

Hall of Famer? For what? 

To be fair, he probably could be in the HOF of wasting generational talents.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it.

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
