Looked, but didn't see it.

Pretty clear this isn't John Fox's team anymore, isn't it?

Yeah, but for the fact that we don't have a respected WR2 to take pressure off Smitty after all these years.

Edit: Oh, sorry, don't want to get off subject.

absolutely. no more bar being set low. if he bar is set low results are going to be low as well. aiming for mediocrity usually results in mediocrity. rivera's no going to setle for "just good enough" and i love it.

I have been saying this for the longest, this team has the talent. You give us at MOST game managing QB play and we are a top 3 team in the NFC easily. Ron Rivera is a smart dude, he knows football and he knows talent when he sees it im behind him 110%. Just get the team and the fans to believe and sit back and watch the show.

Perhaps realizing he'd just went to a place he didn't want to go, Rivera quickly qualified that remark by adding, "I think we can win 10, 11, nine, eight, I’m not sure. To put a number out would be unfair to our guys. But I will say the one thing I want more than anything else is to play hard because I think that gives you chance to win.”

:cool:

In fairness, backtracking like that is generally about as effective as "the jury will please disregard that statement." It's out there now.

Not sure what I think of this right now, honestly. Rex Ryan is a bit much sometimes, but nobody really wants a "say nothing" coach like John Fox either.

Kinda hoping Rivera will be somewhere in-between.

Bold talk can be motivating, but it can backfire if you don't back it up.

Ten games this season?

we can win 10 games. pretty reasonable considering the schedule (not as bad as people say). that's different than saying we wil win 10 games.

nothing wrong with saying you can do anything. saying you will do something is different.

the other thread kind of overlooked that as well. we are pretty bad about taking things out of context. focusing on just one part of a statement rather than the statement in it's entirety will often lead you to being wrong.

When asked after Thursday morning’s walkthrough practice what his realistic expectations are for the Panthers this season, Rivera first emphasized he wants his team to compete and play hard, but went on to say, “I’m optimistic about who we are and who we can become. Would I like to win them all? Absolutely. Do I think we can win 10? Yes. I think we can win 10."

Perhaps realizing he'd just went to a place he didn't want to go, Rivera quickly qualified that remark by adding, "I think we can win 10, 11, nine, eight, I’m not sure. To put a number out would be unfair to our guys. But I will say the one thing I want more than anything else is to play hard because I think that gives you chance to win.”

Just a rookie Head Coach showing his inexperience a bit but he quickly tap danced his way out of it.

Nothing to see here, move along.

10-6 is reasonable? what would be unreasonable?

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
