Just so we are clear

[Jeremy Igo]

The Carolina Panthers entered 2020 as the team with by far the most change as any team in the league. Twice as much change as the next highest team on the list. 

 

New coaches. New schemes. New starters at key positions. All during a pandemic where OTAs were not possible, an abridged training camp, and zero preseason games. This team was scotch taped together only a couple months ago. 

 

And guess what?

 

They have played 3 games and have been very competitive in each, winning one. 

 

All in all, I'd say that is pretty fuggin incredible. 

 

Just thought I would offer some Wednesday perspective.

This coaching staff>Rivera's coaching staff. 

[1of10Charnatives]

Yeah. So far reasonably impressed with the new coaching staff. It's still only 3 games but early returns are promising all things considered.

[Varking]

Happy Rivera is somewhere else not calling timeouts.

I'm just curious to see if we can have back to back winning seasons before I die

Well, maybe. 

 

How old are you?

I'm honestly not surprised. I was never a big Rivera fan. I always thought he was a mediocre head coach propped up by extremely talented players. Sean McDermott was the real talent in that coaching staff. Look what happened to the defenses after he left.

The game passed him by a long time ago and I'm glad he's coaching another team. Great person, hell of a guy, but not who I would want coaching my favorite team.

Gives me some semblance of hope for the future.

Now, if we can just give them legit NFL talent to work with.

Fire Hurney and this will be the best team in history, as the talent and cap management will take care of itself.

This is two-fold though... There has been absolutely zero film on our coaches and many of our players in these schemes. I'm certainly optimistic and tend to take a positive view of it, but game film on our team could certainly become a factor later in the year and in subsequent seasons. The adjustments in game ease my concerns about this tremendously, as that has clearly already been a huge step up from Rivera.

[run-run-pass-punt]

Absolutely. Could *NOT* agree more!

[Panthercougar68]

The roster needed a turnover and we got one, a youthful one too, and with actual coaching I can see us being better than expected by years end. We had no expectations going into this season but at this rate, we will have some by next spring.

[My Goodness My Guinness]

It really is incredible. The amount of no-names/rookies playing on this team is astounding: Trent Scott, John Miller, Chris Reed, Tahir Whitehead, Juston Burris, Rasul Douglas, Stephen Weatherly, Joseph Charlton (I can go on). And they are actually holding their own for the most part. The coaching staff deserves a mega-ton of credit. 

Could y'all imagine if we make the playoffs with this team? It would be movie-worthy
