I'm furious at Tepper for humiliating Rivera and his family by firing him mid-season

I wish the best for Rivera.  He's a good guy.  I think people need to allow him some dignity. He didn't lack integrity.  If you want to be excited about the move and the future great.  Talk about that.  Don't trash the guy though.  He loved being in Carolina.

Nice sentiment, but I cannot forgive Rivera for wasting Cam's talent, not defending him for all the physical beatings he took that no other QB had to endure, and for the multiple times he threw Cam under the bus. So I WILL trash him a bit.

I honestly feel like this was a good thing for both parties, considering this was going to happen in a few weeks anyway. Nobody likes to get fired. It’s part of the business. That shitshow we watched on Sunday was an absolute dagger. His defense.

Ron deserved better for being turned into a national laughingstock by being fired on his day off with 4 games left in the season. After all he's done for this organization, they just threw him out with the trash.

I think every panther fan has been humiliated a few times over the past few seasons. Lets call it even.

let me reframe this for you...based on performance, they should have fired rivera midway through LAST season...but out of respect, they didn't

in fact, they respected him so much that they not only didn't fire him midseason - they didn't fire him at the END of the season, either, and in fact gave him twelve games of the NEXT season as a sort of prolonged curtain call and salute to service

it's actually one of the most profound and beautiful displays of respect that i've ever seen

too bad it f*cked us as for a season i guess

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      Even if he beats the odds, returns midseason  and plays like he did last year it won’t warrant a big contract extension.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth
