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.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
