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.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      The entire OP is about the play calling and results and only mentioned T-Mac one time, in the sense of our offensive struggles only made me more frustrated about our #1 WR only getting a single 2nd half target in a game we were behind for the majority of it. How is that showing my true colors? It's way more of other people reading too much into it and thinking this is all and only about T-Mac for me, but it's not.  He just happens to be the player that I specifically was upset by his 2nd half usage, but it had nothing to do with my personal feelings towards him, but that he's our only legitimate WR and he had a single target in the 2nd half after going for 73 yards in the first. To me, that is a very legitimate play calling gripe, the win or particular player aside.

      Any well functioning team benches Bryce

      By Achilles · Posted

      We’re stuck with Bryce for now.  He led TWO drives where we came from behind to take the lead. One of them was the winning drive and he threw the winning TD. Taken as a whole…he played at expectation after the 1st quarter. That’s not so bad under the circumstances.  We got the win. Maybe they’ll struggle to build on it but a win is a win. He drove the offense down and took the lead when it was needed. You can’t take that away from him.    We’re not changing QBs anytime soon.  Or owners.  So…when they win, we should take it at face value and give credit where it’s due.  Bryce came up big in clutch moments. You can’t take that away from him.
