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.

Half of the people calling for his job will be cheering him on in a winning season. Probably also telling people they always knew he was a winner. 

Not if he never has a winning season. At this rate it's not a bad bet.

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.

      2025 Panthers Draft Class - Overview

      By Basbear · Posted

      He's a good feeney spin move that I never remember big money having. Plus I had forgotten that Charles is Panthers all-time sack leader. I havnt got a read on nic, he's awful young and talented. He talks about effort and wants to stop the run. I need to see him in live action, then maybe its nickname or former panther name time for me.

      Falcons Prank cost a few pennies

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      Not trying to be melodramatic but from a corporate standpoint there is a big push for data security and privacy pertaining to personal information.  Someone mentioned in the other thread about suing the kid but the only place there is possible money is him suing the Falcons organization for negligence related to the leaked personal information.   At best, Shedur makes some added bank and the Falcons look like fools while this circus plays out. At worst, he’ll get free credit monitoring for a year or two.

      Shaq Thompson Remains a Free Agent

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I met Shaq at an OTA---if you recall, he was absent until the end due to Washington being on the quarter system. He was very nice--soft spoken--but I was thinking "Linebacker?" As an OLB in a 4-3, he was small.  I did not see 6'0"--I saw 5'10-5'11 tops and maybe 220.  When we converted to a 3-4, that moved him inside and, in my opinion, shortened his career.  He just does not have the frame for ILB duties.  If you watch enough film, you will see that Shaq often was late getting to the hole and tackled from the side a lot.  Morgan and Luke were in the hole square with the LOS and talking on blocks and RBs head on.  Had Shaq met pulling guards and fullbacks in the hole like that, he would not have lasted 4 years. He had a very frail frame.
