Honestly I don't think we've ever had one.

Our staffs have always seemed like we go into game day with a game plan that either works or doesn't. In-game adjustments have never seemed our forte.

What adjustments? Our philosophy has always been we run what we run and it's up to the opposing teams to stop it. If they then oh well, "it is what it is". "Missed opportunities" was why we lost.

The cool answer I want to give is Capers, because he did some amazing stuff with the league's cast offs. However --

I've got to give the award to John Fox for his Super Bowl run and two NFC title game appearances. He simply did not have the personnel that Rivera did and somehow he still made it work. Peppers and Smitty were HoF players to be sure, but Rivera had Cam and Luke to balance that out. 

Fox coached comebacks regularly, ones that we had no way of winning. Rivera, ehhh, not so much. He either beat you with his gameplan coming in or he didn't beat you at all.

Yep, which is why once upon a time we were the "Cardiac Cats". It was like the total opposite with Ron. With Ron it felt like even a 10 point deficit was insurmountable.

It worked both ways with Fox. We were almost never out of it, but we also played down to competition and tried to run out the clock in the third quarter

I think Fox and Rivera were about the same. Solid coaches.  Who both had stretches of really solid coaching specifically in seasons were things started to go south or were forced to dig out of holes they basically put themselves in.   

Yes, they both did their finest coaching after mathematical elimination.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
