He also drafted Cam.

But then again he drafted Jimmy as well

From the stories I've read behind the scenes, the guy that was most instrumental in the Panthers deciding to draft Cam Newton was Khary Darlington...

...also known as the guy who took a settlement package and signed a non-disclosure agreement after Jerry Richardson used a racial slur on him.

That’s interesting.

Joe Person had a pretty detailed article where he talked to several of the people involved.

Darlington was the guy who scouted Newton and became his biggest advocate when some others doubted him.

This would be a Rivera hire, if they pull the string.  Rivera insures that the GM spot is filled by a 'friendly' that will cover his flank.  Heaven forbid that a GM with good analytical skills and a record of success were to get that position.  Rivera could only hide his weaknesses for so long before that GM sniffs him out and decides that a coaching change is needed.  Just my opinion.

Ron is the boss...the GM reports to him.

There were plenty of reasons to doubt him coming out of college for sure. Him and Ron together never really made sense to me.

  I was at Cams Pro Day and the main person selling Rivera on Cam was Shula. He loved Cam. Rivera left Auburn convinced.

Some defensive coaches love "do it all" quarterbacks because it allows them to concentrate their resources on the defense. It's why Buddy Ryan loved Randall Cunningham.

Ryan was one of Rivera's coaching mentors.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.

      Canes vs Canadians Gm 2 Rd 3 7pm

      By organicrusty1201 · Posted

      I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
