Did Rivera try and trade the Panthers first round pick last year for Trent Williams?

Does Ron know this because he was the one offering the first round pick? 

It also means Washington turned down a first rounder only to later settle for a 4th and future 3rd. 

Ron Rivera and Dan Snyder are a match made in heaven.

What an idiot. Why would you admit to this after being forced to trade the guy for peanuts in comparison to that?

Because Rivera gonna Rivera. I really wish he would trade next years 1st for Marty Hurney.

It's possible, but it's also likely that he, now being the head coach, was informed of past recent history of the team he's coaching.

That might be the last time that happens. The last thing decision makers need is for their new coach to make them look like even bigger dumbasses by unnecessarily highlighting previous mistakes.

So glad we fired him. My god what a horrible coach.

I wouldn't go so far as to say Rivera was a horrible coach, but it's clear Tepper made the correct call in giving Riverboat his walking papers. The more I'm seeing and hearing, Rivera was more of problem here than Hurney.

My exact sentiment, which is why I figured he must have been the one who offered the 1st rounder.

If team executives tell you, "hey we turned down a killer deal for a player we just traded for peanuts", i'd imagine they would want to keep that kind of stuff in house.

The trade for Okung also proves the Panthers were in the market for a LT but didn't want to give up draft capital.

That decision maker isn’t there. Allen was already fired. Pretty sure there is no GM there now so he’s not pissing anyone off.

      Rams since you beat them already and they are 0-2 on the road against NFC South teams.

      Seahawks or Rams

      By Pantherxtreme · Posted

      Let's say we take care of business against the Bucs and/or the Falcons take care of the Saints and we lock that 4th seed for the playoffs. Who do we root for this Sunday in the NFC West matchup with Seahawks at San Francisco winner takes the NFC West division. A Seahawks win would mean we face the Rams at home or with a 49ers win we host the Seahawks again.  Which opponent would most prefer? In the earlier Rams game we won primary due to turnovers specifically Mike Jackson pick-6 in combination with a good running game with Chuba and Rico whereas we kept the Rams offense off the field and Bryce was able to connect on two big 4th down throws for touchdowns. However when the Rams offense was on the field they pretty much got whatever they wanted, Williams and Corum gashed us in the run game, and we had no answer for Devonte Adams. Granted whe were missing some pieces on defense with Horn and Moehrig. Against Seattle our defense held it's own for the most part, it was our offense and turnovers which aided in the Panthers loss.  Seattle was the most stingy, best tackling defense the Panthers have played all season, and when we turned Darnold over we didn't do much with it.  The offense had no answers for what the defense was throwing at them and apparently were caught off guard by the amount of man coverage the Seahawks played.  With all that who do you think would be the better matchup the 2nd time around? I trust Stafford far more than I do Darnold, both running games are on par with each other, of the defenses Seattle has the dominant unit.  I personally prefer Seattle again, that would mark their 3rd consecutive road game, we've just played them, so we know exactly what to expect, and I feel Caneles should be able to come up with a better scheme to counteract what the Seahawks defense was doing, and we may be able to trip Darnold up, I don't want to try and win another shootout against the Rams.

      I remember watching him at bama and thinking he throws a lot of wobbly non spiral balls that have very little velocity. Knew it would be a real problem in the NFL and it is.
