I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

To the OP's credit, Ron Rivera, imo, used Cam at times like a fullback.  The fact that he never had back-to-back winning seasons with a stud QB says a lot.  The OL was an afterthought.  Cam saved RR's job many times.  RR was NFC coach of the year twice during that time, but he never earned it.  I wish we had kept Fox.  He got it.  Never had a great QB and won more.

Cam wanted the ball on the Goal line. Yet somehow Rivera gets the blame. 

Sorry- that gets old. 

I knew from the moment we drafted Cam he was going to have a short career.  It's his playing style and willingness to put his body on the line.

I held a similar opinion, ie he was gonna play how he wanted to play. So that’s the offense you end up with. 

Even if you would rather take a more traditional approach it would hard because, he was going to play how he wanted to play. 
 

 I thought he saw himself as the number one weapon. Did I want a more diverse attack with more pocket passes and less running and option type plays? Yep. 
 

Chudzinski’s 2nd year here I thought he was getting too cute and chasing a HC job, which he got, but I would like to have seen him committed to running an offense he built around Cam. 
 

I think we missed out on that type of opportunity, getting Shula.  But one thing about him, Ron didn’t have to worry about losing his OC every couple of years to a HC job. Lol.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
