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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
