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

      Panthers Vs Bucs OFFICIAL THREAD

      By Achilles · Posted

      Seems to me that the Bucs have less fight in them now than they had in week 16. The real test is going to be if the Panthers can sustain focus and discipline throughout. With the Bucs being at home, maybe that gives them a little boost of confidence and energy.  Wouldn’t it be something if for ONCE the Panthers came out and dominated from the opening snap and just took this shook Bucs team to task?  If the Panthers see-saw form follows, we are in line for the W. Hard to say we have momentum but we do have a pretty clear pattern of following a loss with a win.  I’m going to say 24-16 Panthers!!

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays

      Saturday roll call

      By aloysius snuffleupagus · Posted

      9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant
