Ron pissed some people off, for good reason. If they want to call him out for being a company cuck or dullard then let them. 
 

He parlayed playing for the Ditka Bears into a DC job eventually, that he was very good at. 
He parlayed that into two HC jobs, hired by dysfunctional franchises, mostly because he is a hell of a babysitter for spoiled immature man children. And that he looks like a badass, rather than a cuck. 
Good for him. 
 

Very sorry about his mother, of course.

Ron and Fox most certainly can be criticized. They had pretty notable flaws.  I don’t take issue with that.  I personally don’t like that brand of coach.  Why I want nothing to do with Wilks.  

but they still were both good NFL coaches.  Much easier to do worse than better than that caliber coach.   NFL makes that clear.

That last sentence is very true and why I cautioned, caution when replacing him. 
He does bring a little higher floor than most, you know you are gonna get base level competency. His ceiling is what it is. 

He let his players talk like the SB was already won all week prior to being whipped by the team they were talking about, the one time he went as a head coach. Anyone remember that? 

Maybe if he ever goes again, he won’t let them get overconfident.

I don’t know.  That swag is kinda what got them to be 17-1 entering that game.  Think letting them be what they were that year was the right call. 

best team doesn’t always win.  That Panther team lines up against Denver 10 times and the Panthers win the majority even with the refs finger on the scale IMO.

I didn’t lmao

I was on the Cam Newton bandwagon with @panthers55 very early on.  Cam Newton wasn’t actually a super popular pick early on around here.   He was deemed too risky by the masses early on.   It took awhile for Cam Newton pick to catch on around here.  

I applied the same logic as to why we should of drafted Fields.   One positive of not drafting Fields is your boy Rhule likely  would still be employed here if we did 

Luke also wasn’t a super popular pick early on around these parts either.  

Your obsession with Rhule will probably never end.

Wonder how many years in the future you still will be bitching about him.  We should rename the huddle.

 Tepper decided to keep Rhule, so I found no point in posting post after post after post after post bitching about him.    I guess he broke your heart.   I didn't absolutely hate Rhule with every fiber of my being down to my atoms, so you say Rhules my "boy". 

Rhule was a sucky ass coach.  There, just ANOTHER post where I said Rhule sucked.

But it won't count because I'm 123,487,123,948,712,304,981,234 posts behind you.

Sheesh.

Haters gonna hate.

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.

 

I wouldn't say he completely ignored the oline. He just thought bubble gum and duct tape was enough to hold it together. 

All while spending high draft capital on the d-line.

As a human being, I feel for him losing his mother to cancer. Lost my father and mother to different forms of cancer. 

As a Panthers fan... nah he wasn't it. Don't forget "vets over talent" had Luke Kuechly at outside linebacker until Beason was injured. There were many others, but that was obviously the most egregious example of playing guys out of position, or not even playing them because- favorites.

Fair enough.  I'll give you bubble gum, but I think duct tape is a stretch.

Pre-Riverboat Ron was pretty frustrating. Wilks has a similar level of conservative tendencies and probably not the answer for the team to take the next step, but this is so much better than watching a Rhule team/listening to Rhule pressers on a weekly basis

I still say Ron, needed a good GM here.  Would have made a lot of difference.  I have a lot of respect for the man and was happy for the win last night.

Ron is a good coach but he's too damn loyal to veterans and people he's known for several years.

Well he decided to bring in Marty Hurney to Washington so I'm not sure Ron realized that he needed a better GM.

I agree, Hurney will keep Ron from succeeding.

Say what you will about Ron but he has a great defense.  Plus, if I were him, I keep Heinke at QB.  Heinke has that fire we used to see in Jake.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
