Move over Matt Rhule, the Rivera era was the real disaster


Recommended Posts

Haven't looked, but I'm pretty sure Rivera still holds both the highest winning total and winning percentage of any coach we've had.

Heaven knows he had his flaws, and his firing was absolutely justified.

But nothing...nothing was as horrible as the Panthers under Matt Rhule. The idea that anyone else even could be is just plain ridiculous.

You are correct.

And to think, the point of this thread was to say the guy who has the best winning percentage of any coach we've ever had is worse than the guy with the worst winning percentage of any coach we've ever had.

Then again, we had people trying to convince us that Sam Darnold would evolve into John Elway if we just gave him one more chance, so this is not completely unprecedented territory.

good post and accurate account, but too many Ron Rivera fan boys on the huddle that think he is the greatest thing since sliced bread. 

The dude is ass a coach but they wont realize it. 

More Panther fans hate Cam and love Ron which makes no fuging sense at all. MoRon has no business being a Hc in the NFL, he should have been fired after year 2 with us. 

good guy it seems but low IQ bad head coach. 

It baffles me even further that people wanted to keep Steve Wilks ( MoRon coaching tree) and be mediocre for another 3-10 years. While other coaches are playing chess, these guys havent even mastered checkers.

How many games can you say we won directly because of Ron's coaching?

Rhule was a terrible HC, but I think he could have been around .400 with a prime Cam and Luke. 

Rons record with the commanders is 22-27-1, it would look very similar in Carolina without 2 generational talents.

I mean, how many can you say Fox, Capers, Seifert or Rhule did.  

and for all the poo Ron gets on Cam….I don’t think most would have allowed Cam to be special.  Ron did.  It’s was a double edged sword that allowed us to see greatness.  Ron doesn’t get credit for all the risks he did take that lead to Cam being Cam.  

all of our coaches had some great players.  Matt Rhule was clearly the worst coach though.  Not just game day either.  Universally. 

I’d argue Fox probably had the most talented rosters overall.

Yea most woud have limited Cam, durrrr.

Cam could have been so much more than he was with MoRon and Shula, which was evident in his very limited time with Chudzinski. 

Cam had to teach Shula the 2 min offense, go bark up someone else tree who does not know any better. Ron is a terrible HC.

Fox was clearly the better coach imo, Ron with Jake would have been a disaster.

Ron and Fox basically the same dude.  And it’s not a debate about Ron being good or not.  Neither belong in this era.  Good coaches though.  Game just passing them by. 

it’s a simple one of him clearly being better than Matt Rhule 

Matt Rhule is the worst coach in our history.  There is no argument that he isn’t.   And if you want to argue Ron is worse than that is just Ron hate so comical that it causes nonsensical things to be proclaimed

The nimrod who posted this thread was already way ahead of everybody on that front.

His original stick was that we were all going to be massively sorry we let go of Teddy Bridgewater (hence the dumbass screen name).

I hate to say it but he's actually right about Bridgewater. Look at the roster we trotted out after T2G. Darnold, PJ, Half a Cam, Baker. My god what was Rhule thinking? Or was he?

Rhule is one of the worst coaches the NFL has ever seen, but he probably could have lucked into a winning season with Cam and Luke.

The rosters Gettleman constructed had considerably more success than the rosters Hurney generated, with the same core players and Rivera as coach. It's not quite that simple and obviously both GMs had significant faults and Rivera has had concerns himself, but I don't think it's fair to say Gettleman "wasted" Cam and Luke.

I could argue that if Gettleman had acquired a competent LT to protect Cam, then we'd have a Super Bowl championship right now. He was solely responsible for the worst contract signing in franchise history in my book. I am not enamored in the slightest with Gentleman's roster construction. He may not have "wasted" them, but had he done his job better, Cam and Luke would be champs, and Rivera would've never had his tiny run as defacto GM.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
