It took Rivera a while to win too

We've never had back to back winning seasons.  The Panthers franchise just turned 28 years old.  In 26 seasons, this team has never put two winning seasons together.  Never.  It doesn't matter the coach, the players, the philosophy, even the owner - sustained mediocrity is all they've ever achieved with some playoffs and two SB appearances from fantastic outlier seasons.

They are who we thought they were.  It may take awhile for a new coach and system to settle in, but in reality they've never done diddly poo consistently.

Ron was pedestrian and his QB and MLB were able to drag him into more than mediocrity. Maybe Rhule finds something more but there is no indication yet he has more at this time.

Picking 1st and getting a franchise QB changes everything. If Rhule found that he would be doing a lot better but he went in the other direction.

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? 

Don’t know why you pooed me I was agreeing with your last paragraph.

Rivera was and is a mediocre coach that was carried by Cam and Luke.  Tell me when we had back to back winning seasons.   He was slightly better than Fox sometimes and slightly worse the rest of the time.  But I think we are destined to have these type of coaches it seems.

Marty Hurney was like the only GM to fly to Oregon to see Justin Herbert while everyone else was locking down.

Marty was about to move heaven and earth to get Herbert here. Rhule was like nah, we good.

That was the end of his coaching career in an instant. That was his Cam Newton opportunity. Instead he says no and kicks Cam out if HIS locker room.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      This is the best path forward IMO right now.  Try and get a pass rusher with potential in FA, and those guys as the first two picks? Sign me up.  We have to get another LT in here in case Icky is done for, for Bryce and/or the next QB. Part of me says screw it, build the defense, get Nijman back for LT, and if Bryce can't make it work, he shows it. But then we're just right back in 2027 probably needing a QB AND a LT. I think LT has to be one of the first 2 picks and we hope he's a good one. Every move right now to me should be about building the team that's ready made for a QB in 2027, whether that's Bryce or another rookie.

      Given that the immediate impact we need at edge. We almost certainly address that in Free agency, not in the draft. Same with Linebacker, unless Styles or Allen is still there at 19. I think the same for OT.  What is the position that we could draft in the 1st round and get immediate help in the first is how im approaching their decision-making  I know ill get dragged for this, but im thinking they go DT in the first. A guy that can play right away and be a complement to D.Brown to wreak havoc at the LOS.   So unless a top tier LB is there, I think DT will be the move.

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      I think people forget that by his last season Steve Smith had the ass and he played like it - and for no really good reason other than that other stars were emerging on the team and he didn't want to share the spot light.  He was more of a locker room distraction than he was worth. He went on to have great performances with the Ravens' but G-man made the right move allowing him to move on from here.  I personally think it was addition by subtraction and we don't have a super bowl run with Smith on the roster. Steve Smith remains a narcissist who I've never seen internalize his own culpability when it comes to his relationships with others - it's always somebody else's fault as to why he was forced to act like an asshole. This video is a product ad.  I'm cringed that either of these two Panther greats are party to it.
