Nah, Cam wouldn’t of been special on a lot of teams.  They wouldn’t of ran him like we did. They wouldn’t of brought in the college scheme. 

GM was a bigger problem than HC IMO.  Ron was a good HC.   Roster around Cam was the biggest sin. 

The GM argument doesn't hold weight because he literally chose the same GM to go with him lol.  If it was the case, we are still talking about Ron is too clueless to realize how bad of a GM Hurney is because he still brought him which still makes him a mediocre coach.   Ron seems like a good dude and a stable coach like others pointed out but he doesn't get you where you need to go.  Cam did carry that offense and carry us to red zone success after success especially in 2015.   Ron's defense was usually respectable but he kept playing guys like Fua and Nakamara and refused to put in the hot hand young guys.   Combined with almost no adjustments during half time, etc, it just led to mediocrity.  So yes Hurney did suck but Ron seemed to think he was pretty good, so it wouldn't matter, both are mediocre.

Ron had a winning record here.    And he still has an overall winning record despite losing in Washington to date. 

Ron gets too much hate.   His window here simply closed.  That's coaching.   

 

Apologies. I meant he had three years here with a winning record out of 9 seasons.

Lol I like how I mentioned football aside and showed a touching video about his emotions just two weeks after his mother passing and people are hating on no back to back winning seasons.

This site has lots of douche holes and the internet as a whole if you have never noticed before. Lots of double chinned couch GM's and smart asses who think they have every answer from their living room. It's almost like being an obese pie eating loud mouth on a message board somehow qualifies some people as being experts and legends in their own living rooms.

FYI Hurney is not GM in Washington. Martin Mayhew is. Hurney is executive vice president of football/player personnel. 

Eh he's still involved and was still brought there with Ron.  If Ron felt like Hurney impeded his progress at all that would make no sense.

Say what you want but he coached us to the best season we have ever had, and is an amazing person…football aside. I am happy to see moments like this, he has been in a terrible situation in Washington and in his personal life with the loss of his mother and cancer. He has always had the respect of his team and the locker room everywhere he has been.

And that's why I wanted Wilks. People say that Wilks being similar to Rivera in demeanor is a bad thing. His guys play for him and truly love and respect him as a human being. Wilks has brought this team together more than admirablely.

Ron loved Hurney lol. Ron's best years were with DG, the years that got him over .500. He would have been a stellar HC in the 70s. He is a sub .500 HC without Cam and that is a fact from his time in DC. 

Rivera is presently only 5 games under .500 as a NFL coach without Cam Newton as his starting QB.  

Yeah, Ron is an old school defensive coach.  It's not my preferred coaching style in the modern NFL.  But Ron was still a good coach.  Two different things.

We'd be hating on Ron constantly if it wasn't for Cam.  Ron was gifted the #1 overall pick with a very obvious choice in that draft.  His  players are a who's who of the greatest Panthers of all time, and he couldn't get it done

The Broncos said that we made absolutely no adjustments in the SB.  We did exactly what they had on tape.  The loss was on Ron as much as anybody.
 

He constantly blamed the players with their "missed opportunities."  He punted in field goal range.   He overplayed old vets to a fault.

Ron COMPLETELY ignored the OL.

He used Cam as a battering ram, depleted our roster and then left us a  shlt show for the next coach to figure out.

Cam Newton wasn’t Andrew Luck.  He wasn’t the consensus easy pick or obvious.   He was considered a risky gamble.  Especially at #1 overall. 

Players have made just about every good coach the NFL has ever seen. 

and Fox had more Panther greats than Ron.

I call BS.

Choosing a QB is always a risky gamble.  College doesn't always translate to the pros. 

The questions is, what did we need and what was available. 

We clearly needed a QB and no one mocked Locker to us.   Cam Newton was the Heisman Trophy winner who carried Auburn on his back to the national championship.  The next QB (Locker ) wasn't taken until 8.  Nobody traded up for Locker .   ESPN, SI, BR, SBNation, Walter all mocked Cam to us.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
