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

      What do you grade this draft?

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Ask me in five years whether this draft class was good or not. Having said that, I'll grade the 2019 draft... R1 P16: Brian Burns - I'll argue this was a good pick. At the minimum, he was worth enough to have gotten a seriously good offer of picks which, in retrospect, we should've taken. But we still got something for him and his new team gave him a ton of money. R2 P37: Greg Little - Utter and complete flop. Only real value was somehow getting a 7th rounder from the Dolphins. R3 R100: Will Grier  - Played godawful the rare times he was on the field. Somehow still in the league. R4 P115: Christian Miller - Nothing of note. R5 P154: Jordan Scarlett - I don't think he even lasted two years. R6 P212: Dennis Daley - Some flashes of promise but we eventually traded him for some picks. Was terrible in Tennessee. I'll consider this a success since we got picks back. R7 P237: Terry Godwin - Did not last here long at all.  In summary, we got one quality starter... who is now gone. Daley might've been the second best player of this class and he was a middling backup at best. Burns saved this class from being a complete disaster.  D+

      You can add that to the assessment of the whole offseason, but not the draft itself

      If you're going to bring up the Burns trade you have to include the players we were able to sign with the money we saved by trading Burns.  We got three positions of need with the money we saved by trading him.
