It took Rivera a while to win too

Or did y'all forget? We are in the exact same spot right now that we were in the early Rivera Era. We didn't think he would even see year 3 (barley did according to reports), everyone wanted him gone, etc. 

 

Heck, it took him until Week 5 his 3rd season to actually have his coaching come to fruition (reports then said that Richardson was preparing to hire a search firm after the Cardinals loss), then 11-1 happened. The team bought in, destroyed the Giants that week and I think we can all say that the Rivera Era was good all things considered. 

 

I say that to say this, give Rhule time. He may flip a switch, he may not. Things look grim now, but fortune could always change.

Rivera’s first two drafts: Cam Newton, Luke Kuechly 

Rhule’s first two drafts: Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn

 

Cam and Luke changed the future overnight. Derrick Brown? Who the hell takes a run stuffer that cannot rush the passer with the 7th overall pick?

Ron was also reportedly going to be fired at the end of the 2012 season before he ripped of a streak in December. 

He was also going to be fired when we started 1-3 in 2013 before his seat got hot and Riverboat Ron was born. 

Ron never won because he was a good coach. I blame him a lot for Super Bowl 50. He was carried to whatever success he had.

Rivera and Fox were both in the postseason by year 3.  Both found their QB by year 2.

You could see the potential in our two young stars Kuechly and Cam in 2012. Cam needed weapons and a bit more refinement. Kuechly needed better defensive tackles because Mcclain and Fua were ass.

Rhule's team has no identity. The defense has been figured out and the offense is fuging terrible with it's only keystone player being a constantly injured running back. The team has tons of holes that they don't know how to fix. Their only good coordinator is old as hell, and their young offensive coordinator can't scheme without an elite running back.

In short, fug this team, and fug Rhule. He ain't figuring poo out anytime soon.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
