1. Ron Rivera

2. John Fox

3. Capers 

Fox and Rivera is close.  But Rivera coached the best team in history and was more open to being more aggressive, whereas Fox always remained the same ole' conservative coach.  I'd also argue that Rivera surrounded himself with better assistant coaches than Fox did.  AND lastly, Fox tanked one of the best and probably the most underrated Panthers team ever (2009 Panthers) because of his refusal to bench Jake Delhomme.  That was a more complete version of the 2008 team and all we needed was Matt Moore to be the starter, but Fox refused.  Rivera wasn't the best at personnel changes but I don't think any decision he made was worse than Fox's that year to stick with Jake.

Capers, Fox, Rivera.

Capers had the most successful first season for any expansion team ever to that point. Never made it to the Super Bowl but the run in year 2 was one of the best we ever had.

Fox got us to within minutes of beating the most decorated QB of all time and pulled us up from the cellar pretty damn fast.

Rivera had the single best season of any coach but also squandered the most talent. Third best, but also one who underachieved in many ways.

Seifert screwed up when he thought he was Bill Walsh and could dump Beuerlein because he found Jeff Lewis and Chris Weinke as his back up. Too bad he had a real NFL QB succeeding in NFLE in Dameyune Craig who he never gave an opportunity to start and prove he could succeed in the NFL. Draft Brady in 2000 and Brees in 2001. Beuerlein, Brady, Brees, and Craig would have made for a nice QB room. Bill Walsh he was not.

I hate you for even bringing this topic up.

 

No, No, it's fine. 

 

Just pour salt in the wound of 25 years of mediocrity at best. I don't mind.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
