To this day, I would have still fired Rivera in 2014 pre-SB run.  We didn't make that run because of him.  His crews can bring a team to a playoff contender floor but that's about it.  Needs the players to do the rest.  McD was also a big part (who don't forget we interviewed in contention with Rivera before bringing both in HC+DC)

McDermott may not have been ready yet back then but who really knows.  Looking ahead--I see 4 totally respectable and pretty darn certain upgrades in Hackett, Daboll, Pederson, & Eberflus.

They should strongly be considered to replace Rhule and get things back in order.

Ron would have kept Cam going into 2020.  That singular move likely would have put us in a better big picture position than hiring Rhule.  

Rhule paid Teddy/Sam, picked up a 5th year and traded away our draft picks. 
 

I mean the Ron window ended.  Ron knows that.  Panthers went about replacing Ron in the worst way possible.   would have rather kept Ron another year and replaced him with someone not named Matt Rhule. 

Not exactly sure he would have kept Cam

He was under contract.  Ron Rivera wasn't cutting Cam in Carolina.  

Ron didn't sign Cam in Washington and frankly that was the right call.  You can't go to Washington and literally repeat Carolina with Ron/Cam.  That wasn't what he was hired to do there.

You're assuming that was Ron's call to make.

Most of the evidence I've seen says otherwise.

Jourdan Rodrigue, Joe Person and others reported long ago that Rivera and Marty Hurney both wanted to offer Newton an extension but David Tepper said no.

I don't think it's guaranteed that Rivera staying on another year would have meant a different ending for Newton.

Moving on was the correct decision.  

By keeping Rivera the statement made would have been that the organization was fine with status quo.   No one, including the owner wanted complacency which is why Ron is gone.  So far that has not worked out.  
 

Still, as the saying goes,  better to try and fail than fail to try.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
