Im sure many here have been married and had friendships. Heres a fact- these relationships sometimes run a course. 40 years, 5 years etc, its best for both parties to end....

Ron and panthers relationship ran its course and thats simply it.

 

 

People have hit on many thing about this, but I will bring this UP. When Ron leftd/fired/whatev the team was in TERRRRRRIIIIBBBLLLLLEEE shape. OLD and lacked young talent across the whole roster. QB- no 10 year starter on hand, or backup/young QB grow and be a starter. 

Ron is an D main coach and the last couple seasons, his defensives have SUCKED. Phil "65 year old never called a nfl play life time" Snow had better results with 2020 that had half the talent. 

Players for the first time gave up on Ron, washington right now is playing like Ron's late season panther units...

The Panthers were basically as unwatchable at the end of Rivera's tenure here as they are now.  His time in Charlotte had run its course, we had some good times, some bad ones, and it was time to move on.  If you're a head coach in the NFL you're going to be the one blamed if poo isn't going well.  It can be unfair but at any given time there are only 32 of them on a planet of 7.7 billion humans.

For some perspective though, John Fox went to Denver and they immediately were tearing the league's ass up.  They won 11 straight games in his second season and made a(n admittedly lol worthy) Super Bowl appearance the next year.

I’ll largely take a repeat stretch of what the Ron era was.  Just give me a better officiated Super Bowl. 

- drafted the most exciting and entertaining player in franchise history

-  stretch of 4 postseason appearances in 5 years 

- best season in Panther history 

-stretch of 3 straight division titles 

 

Take a repeated stretch of being good one year and bad the next and then back to good? No. Thanks and stop blaming the superbowl completely on the refs. Ron did not have his team ready to play in the biggest game of their careers nor did they make any adjustments to try to ein that game. Dont care to have that again.

which is better.  

a - playoffs in 4 of 5 seasons 

b - back to back winning seasons but only making the playoffs 2 times in a 5 year window. 

I care about postseason play.  Every season is different.  I don’t give a poo what record it takes to get in.   Just be relevant.  Postseason play is the only thing that makes you relevant.  

most teams that hire a HC don’t get a run like Ron had.  Or Fox had.  Would I like better? Of course.  I’d like to hit on a Tomlin.  A Belichick.   But Ron wasn’t actually bad.  Just like Foxy wasn’t.  They weren’t grand slams.   

and pointing out I would easily take another version of the Ron era with a better officiated SB isn’t blaming everything on the refs.  It’s more an acknowledgment that luck and things outside your control go into a ring.

Right. Get to the playoffs and then it’s a new season. Getting to the playoffs is the biggest thing. 
 

I would take being the 7th seed 4 out of 5 years than being the #1 seed 2 out of 5 years.

FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK. Jesus you guys talk about the dumbest things when all that matters is FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK. We had one from 2011-2018 and we made the playoffs multiple times. We don't have one and now we won't.

Ron won't either until he has a FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK and if he does its because it was a historically weak division and they quickly exited the playoffs. 

Stop with the dumb narratives OP

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I fully expect them to pick up his 5th year , and they're waiting for him to put a full excellent consistent season of QB play in year 4 or 5. If that don't happen,  they'll eventually cut ties.  Here's to hoping he just goes on a team in 2026. The worst thing he could do is continue to see-saw us to around .500 records because it might be impossible to replace him at that point unless youre willing to do the veteran qb carousel poo we did from 2019 to 2023.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What do you think of Bryce Youngs career thus far? Are you excited about his progress or is it not enough for you? I included a poll of ranking his performance through 3 years thus far.  I personally think he's made some decent progress. Has had some high moments (last half of 2024, Rams game, ATL game in 2025)  but in my mind, those are still outweighed by the many more lowlights thus far (ex turnovers, missed throws, poor decisions)  It's a very mixed bag for me. He's done enough to get a 5th year option but by no means should we lock him in with a 50+ mil a year multi year deal. I want to see him play consistently well for a full year before that happens (yes, I'm still saying that going into year 4. That might be telling).  Just sucks when you see CJ Stroud, Jayden Daniel's, Caleb Williams almost immediately lighting poo up with their arm talent. Maybe Bryce is just an ultra slow burn. I don't know what to think anymore. Guess we're gonna be stuck with him for a whilr unless we end up being bad enough to earn a high pick next year. I doubted it lol. Overall Stats for his career:       ● 14 W - 30L (regular season)       ● 0-1 playoffs record        ● 61.4% completion, 8291 passing yards, 49 TDs, 30 INTs  Year 1:       ● 2 wins, 14 losses      ● 60% completion rate, 2877 passing yards, 11 TD to 10 INTs, 5.5 yards per attempted pass Year 2:        ● 4 wins , 8 losses        ● 60.9% completion rate,  2403 passing yards, 15 TD, 9 INTs,  6.3 yards per attempted pass  Year 3:        ● 8 Wins, 8 Losses         ● 63.6% competition rate, 3011 passing yards, 23 TDs to 11 INTs  Playoffs         ● 1 game in year 3 ( 0 - 1 in playoffs)         ● 21/40 (52.5% completion rate), 264 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
