Most Rivera thing ever

"But but Rivera is a good head coach"

 

Get TF outta here. He never was and never will be. He has Cam and Luke to thank for the longevity of his career. Without them, his head coaching career wouldve ended in 2013 or 2014.

There is being unintelligent and making an egregious error, but then it takes a special kind of stupid to blatantly call yourself out on it.

 

Ron is a great guy all around, but has always lacked the head coach gene, but got by on an immensely talented roster and being gifted a #1 overall generational QB specimen as his welcome to Carolina gift.

 

With that roster....damn, what could have been, with competence from the GM down to the coaching staff

Wanted Howell over the other guys when they started falling in the draft...

And again, love Ron the man, but the coach?  That is the kind of poo that ultimately ran Cam into the ground.  It's just like zero awareness and so inefficient...  it's like he spends ZERO energy and effort scouting his own offense and if he finds something that is passable he just rides it until the wheels fall off.  And that admitting he didn't know they were still in playoff contention theough that last game last season - I was legit surprised they brought him back.  I was sure he was gonna get canned for that.

Ron is good coach but his propensity to refuse to play younger players is his ultimate downfall. His old school mentality of "making the young guys earn it' while playing an obviously less talented veteran or by not bringing outside help when a key piece of the team goes down but instead insist always that "the answers on the roster" is why he'll never build a sustain winner. Ron's teams will never be outright bad, they'll hang around being average to sometimes maybe good but never great unless he's being caried by the players.

I’ve never seen an NFL head coach not know his team’s playoff status heading into the final week.

I’ve never seen an NFL head coach come out in public kicking himself because he didn’t know the QB he drafted was actually good.

That said, I’ve also never seen an NFL head coach make the playoffs with a losing record.

And he did it twice.  With two different franchises. /facepalm

Howell's scrambling ability and Ron's hot seat status combine to make me nervous. God knows Ron will run a QB into the ground. Washington has a much better receiver corps than Cam ever did but that OL has some serious questions.

I REALLY wanted Howell in the draft (Don't care anything about UNC and never have been a fan). He just seemed like one of those guys who would put it all together and be very good if given the chance. I am going in and saying Howell passes for 3500 yards this season and thrown 22-29 touchdowns which keeping the ints low then next season breaks 4000 yards and 30+ touchdowns. Hard to believe we could have drafted him instead of Corral and im no Corral hater at all. Hopefully Ron doesnt screw Sam Howell up.

    • Things like this happen everyday. We live in a social media driven society where loyalty is a foreign concept.
    • If you draft a guy who is healthy and has no concerns about that whatsoever and he goes out and tears his ACL in his first few games in the regular season on a physical play that's a freak accident. But when you trade up to draft an RB who is already rehabbing from a recent ACL tear and he spends the next several months continuing his rehab only to tear the same ACL again after less than a handful of regular season carries in a non contact circumstance that is no freak accident. That is a textbook example of why you do not do what we did. Particularly for what is now a plug and play position. And when you have the highest paid OL in the league over the next two years. None of that makes any logical sense. Legitimately it is and was some Scott Fitterer type foolishness. Now as for XL. The guy has not been committed to his craft. I think anyone with eyes on the situation can and would recognize that. However the warning signs were there. One season of legit production raw prospect that we knew would take time to develop etc. But Morgan and Bryce Young's own father were very high on him. I think in some capacity the reality of our limitation at QB is entering into the equation. Even TMac got a lot of flak over the course of his rookie season for not being able to haul in all of Bryce's passes. At the end of the day our fourth year QB also needs to do his part to maximize the talent we have available. As far as this year. Again. WR round 1 boils down to where are we going to get the touches for the rookie? That would require eating into not only our 8th overall picks touches but also our #2 WR whom oh yeah by the way was UNDRAFTED. I am happy to discuss WR prospects here. I was thrilled we invested what we did last year in TMac because it needed to be done and it made sense from all angles. But nowhere is it written in stone that you cannot draft a good or great WR outside of the first round. Except in the Panthers building apparently. That is not a good reflection on our scouts and front office let me tell ya. Because there's no way on this earth we are going to get back to relevancy and legitimate contender status if we can't pick some gems in the later rounds. Simple and plain.
