This was the hire that I did not want. It leaves me questioning the entire FO. I would have thought, with a 2-14 season, and half empty stadiums, during some losses home games for the opposing team, we would be looking for a hire to get people back into the stadium. Now we get another cast off from the Giants, and an it is what is is guy. Is there no one else? Come on man. Prob pass on Luck and draft a OT/DT first. Sweet.

He always was a serious candidate.

I personally don't think he's ready for it, but as I recall we hired Fox after a year when his defense wasn't as hot as it had been. This would be history repeating itself in some rather unfortunate ways.

Would much rather hire Rivera coming off a year when his defense was tops.

Some coaches make better Head Coaches then coordinators, some are better at coordinating..I honestly don't know where Fewell fits in that forumla..he didn't do enough in Buffalo to stay past the interim.

How his defense is performing isn't less as relevant since we will prolly have a d-coordinator; and let's be honest we always blame our defense success/failure on the coordinators.

Me too. I guess staying in a 4-3 was an issue.

Rivera's overall best defenses were in Chicago running the 4-3. He had a great year this year running a 3-4 but he has tons of experience doing it all defensively.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
