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.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
