I mean, Ron Rivera is basically Vince Lombardi compared to the Tepper era folks.  Not really the time or place for Ron bashing given what Rhule, Frank and now Dave have done. 

 

Ron Rivera without Cam Newton would have been fired by his third season. He only became Riverboat because Cam kept prodding him.

alternative argument.  Cam Newton was really only Cam Newton because Ron Rivera drafted him....and created a world where a unicorn would thrive vs bust out.  Majority of NFL head coaches weren't going to create the world that existed in Carolina for Cam.   They would have stuck with their systems, not green lighted a college O and a world for Cam's personality to take over the game. 

Thomas Davis and Luke Kuechly both became GOATS under the LB/Def savy Ron too.  He gets credit for nothing that occurred.  All painted as things that fell into his lap. 

Ron was flawed. Ron doesn't get enough credit either.

He looked good when they went to an NFL system...then the hit happened. I always wanted Ron to force it way earlier.

he stat sheet looked good to open up a season.  That was basically the transition and birth of checking down too much to CMC though IMO.  Which birthed the 1k/1k season the next year.

Drafting a unicorn at QB changed everything. Ron had his moments and overall I liked the man and respected him aside from the moments of frustration with his gameday management at times. And his penchant for being comically loyal to his vet players.

Although ultimately all of it boiled down to that fateful Super Bowl. Cam let us down. And Ron Rivera with his usual stubbornness damn sure did.

He looked like he was getting comfortable in it but yeah it's not like it was amazing from the get go. Still it looked promising. Those checkdowns opened up stuff he could take shots at vs always checking down to CMC after him.

John Fox and Ron Rivera were solid NFL coaches.  I just can't get down with folks saying the Tepper era is comparable coach wise.

Canales job is to win games .   If he keeps Young at QB he will lose not only games but the locker room as well .    He needs to light a fire under some asses and give Bryce only the next game by halftime .  If he looks bad pull him and put in Dalton ,  We will also lose the fanbase and every game will be a home game for the other team .

Until there is a Qb change, nothing will change for the Panthers 

young has been coddled, and continues to be

he has shown absolutely nothing that makes him fit for the NFL

it will not change 

as the old engineering saying goes ‘you can’t fix a bad design’ and Young is not designed for the NFL    

in a grown man’s league, with teammates looking to get paid for their own performance plus for incentives and playoffs, the locker room will do what the Panthers owner, GM and coaching staff won’t.   As will the Panthers fans who will not turn out for a nfl QB who can’t complete a pass.  Tepper can enjoy being the home field for visitors.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd edited to be more clear where he was ahead of league average, but realize it was easily missed, sorry.  I do hope he falls off a cliff production wise because if he actually continues at this pace it's highly likely the TDs come and then he'll be a real problem. Anyway, to the stats... Shough is substantially better than the average in completion percentage, YPG, and INT% (68% vs 64.4% and 237 vs 215 and 1.7 vs 2.2). He is pretty close to the average in Y/A (7.14 vs 7.1) and rating (91.63 vs 91.8). He is a bit below the average in TDs per game (1.3 vs ~1.5, which is hard to average exactly due to the number of players that are part of this stat), QBR (51.54 vs 54.7) and quite a bit below in TD% (3% vs 4.7%). In advanced stats, he's above the league average in intended air yards/attempt (8.1 v 7.7) and on target % (76.8 vs 74.6), while barely below is in bad throw % (16.1 vs 16.0). This jives with what I've seen - decent young player, playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter, on a bad team. I've always said (and this is true of Bryce too, I even mentioned it this year) that I am less concerned with 30+ yard bombs than consistency at 15+ yards, because you need to be able to threaten past the sticks. Shough is doing that. Vs us in week 15 he had ~one third of his passes 15ish or more yards and he was money on them, and that wasn't really an exception, he has had some nice throws outside of that.  All that said, dude is just super new to the league, and once film gets out, if he does have limitations they will be exploited. No way he can get OROTY. And thanks for the kind words - I am prone to hyperbole at times, but I'm also just impressed by Shough. We'll see if he can keep it up (I hope not, unless the Saints randomly trade him lol)

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      To be fair, going from 2 wins, to 5 wins, to 8 wins at least is a pretty big positive no matter how insufferably miserable a select handful in this group want to make everything.

      Yeah Moore is definitely going to be a problem.  I remember he was the favorite for our job at one point in time.
