But so did 6 losing seasons out of 9.

Ron's Panthers Legacy:  NOT changing a damn thing going into the SB after having been embarrassed by the Falcons for the Panthers only loss.  It was evident early on the Panthers were in trouble and yet there were no adjustments to protect Cam.  Broncos essentially took the Falcons template and beat a better team.

What added insult to injury:  The first game of the next season where Ron still hadn't come up with a way to protect his franchise QB from being repeatedly used for target practice by the Broncos defense.

Some coaches have the ability to lift their team to a level above the sum of its parts.  Ron proved, with a record of 3 winning seasons in 9 years, he isn't one of those coaches.

Didn’t learned that he should’ve played Heinicke not Haskins vs us last year. 

I think that was the only time Ron ever played 4D chess in his head coaching career, and Rhule for it.

He says a bunch of things. He has rarely changed though.

lol...not our problem  now. That article was  about a vet he cut.  Of course.....he has  no real  connection/history with the vets in Washington. Time will tell. But I do think it  is interesting  that he said  it.

I do think that Ron needed a good GM. Obviously he did  not have  that here.  The fact that he brought Hurney to Washington  should  be very concerning  to  the no  names.

Good on him to be realistic, realize things he should/could have done differently, and move forward making adjustments and trying to be better. Maybe sometimes a change of scenery is needed to help get that evolution started. 

I always liked Ron as a man and leader in the locker room. Cheers to him.

Ron is and was a great defensive mind.  Great human being as was and is his family by all accounts.  I appreciate their help in animal welfare greatly.

All that said, it was time for Ron to go in Carolina 3 years prior to his termination and I said it then.  Whatever the reason he couldn't get it done here regardless of the talent placed before him.  That is all that matters in professional football.

Personally think he has his team on the way up.  Ron is a good coach.  2015 happened so he deserves credit.

2015 happened because we had the most physically talented player in the league in his prime combined with an elite defense. It had little to do with Ron and his coaching ability or lack thereof.  

Hell he is probably the reason we lost that super bowl by not allowing shula to add any new wrinkles to the offense and not making any adjustments during the game.

Kinda the chicken and the Egg tbh. Hurney and Rivera just fit each other. I'm just glad we took a totally different approach moving forward.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
