We all knew it was time to move on from Rivera and he just wasn't the guy to get us over the hump, but for those of you trying to act hard and trash this man personally, that says a lot more about you than anything.

No one should be saying anything negative about Ron Rivera the person. Take a look at how his players largely look at him and that should be all you need to know.

Ron Rivera is a high character person that his players, as well as most fans, have always admired and looked up to in that regard.

I disliked him as a person once he started showing his true colors by throwing players under the bus, not backing his players, holding the team back, being a terrible coach, and finally that comment he made about never taking the blame any more after some player made a comment about not understanding the game plan or something like that.  
 

Sure he smiles for cameras and does things to look like a good guy in public and I’m sure he’s not an actual terrible person, but he’s no paragon of class like some people like to believe.  Classy people don’t throw their players under the bus and get petulant because a player said something that might have undermined him.  
 

But most of all he’s the reason two of the best players in franchise history were absolutely wasted. We should have had a ring or two with those two leaders on either side of the ball

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
