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.

      The deep ball or at least the threat thereof is an absolutely essential component of success in today's NFL, and not the '20 air yard' nonsense that the NFL likes to push. Teams have to account for the field-flipping, immediate TD play or else they just sit on things. We've seen it for years now. And with respect to Brees, the latter half of his career has him as the ultimate short-game QB... and it still wasn't enough to overcome the best competition when it counted most. When that element went missing towards the second half of the 2010s they were still a deadly team when they had superior defense, but they ultimately fell to the best defenses.

      Bryce either finds a deep ball this year or he doesn’t.  His success hinges on that entirely. is there a successful QB currently playing that doesn’t have an accurate deep throw? there are only so many underneath plays in a playbook. if that’s all bro can do, expect a pick 6 record. Defenses are too fast and smart. A devastating run game is going to 1000% have to be the thing that keeps defense honest if Bryce’s deep ball doesn’t improve. The importance of that one attribute can not be overlooked.  I so wish people would stop insulting Brees, a top 10 first ballot HOF’er with these stupid Bryce comparisons. Brees could drop a 40 yd DIME on a rollout or from shotgun.    I want the Panthers to win. I don’t care who pilots the ship. I don’t really care about any of the individual pieces.
