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

    • Per Bill Barnwell  Vikings bring back a familiar face Vikings get: WR Adam Thielen Panthers get: 2026 sixth-round pick, 2027 seventh-round pick A reunion between Thielen and his former team seems too easy. The Vikings are struggling with injuries at wide receiver and a potential Jordan Addison suspension. The Panthers want to see what they have with their younger wideouts, and Hunter Renfrow's emergence in camp as a potential fourth or fifth option could squeeze a roster spot for Thielen, who doesn't play special teams. The problem is Thielen's $6.25 million base salary. The Vikings obviously would prefer the Panthers cut the 34-year-old and pick him up for free, but Carolina already paid Thielen a $1.5 million roster bonus earlier in the offseason, suggesting it expected to have him. His salary isn't yet guaranteed, but it will become so if he's on the roster in Week 1, leaving the Panthers until then to make a decision. If he does get released, he isn't likely to get anything close to $6.25 million from another team, so he also is facing some uncertainty. All sides involved probably would need to give a bit to make a mutually advantageous deal work. The Panthers would eat $1.5 million of Thielen's contract, getting two of the three picks the Vikings got from the Jets in the Harrison Phillips trade in return. Thielen would take a $1 million pay cut in return for having the remaining $3.8 million guaranteed. The Vikings cleared out almost exactly that much when they made the Phillips trade, allowing them to absorb what's left of Thielen's contract as part of the deal. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46053274/nfl-preseason-trades-2025-team-offers-players-draft-picks-contracts
    • From JoeBucsFan. Teams don't usually waste 2nd round picks like that. Kind of sounds like they think he just doesn't belong in the NFL.
