The brother of someone I work with works for the Panthers, has for several years. (That's how I got the autograophed football for Christmas last year from my staff). He told his sister that he really likes Rivera, thinks he will be a very good coach. He said that Rivera works with the players a lot more than John Fox ever did.

Just wondering if those of you who have been to practice have noticed. Does Rivera seem more involved-hands on?

i've seen several people comment on the fact that rivera roams during practices and will pull a player aside during drills/practice and coach them up right then and there

i like the hands on approach, personally... i think it'll definitely help our young team

I am just soo happy to have an aggressive offense that is willing and geared to passing the rock. It is way to easy to stop the run, passing is alot more lethal.

Nothing I hate more than some conservative old school pound the rock vanilla offense that runs the ball on 3rd and 15 lol

You will still see a lot of running on 3rd and 15 this season, our QB's and WR's aren't quite ready for too many wild blitzes.

When they hired him, and he addressed the media for the first time................the man had my respect. You can sense his intensity and passion for the game just by seeing him speak. I hope I am not proven wrong, but as of now, I truly believe he will be the best coach we have ever had!!! Coach is a word, who's true meaning remains oblivious to way too many people, that obtain the title.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
