Rivera to Players: Jobs On the line

He needs to step up his coaching, can't blame it all on the players! Some terrible play calling out there. He should be careful, his job might be on the line...

Lol no, Panthers won't get rid of a coach who inherited a 2-14 team with injuries. He has also doubled our win total from last year.

nope. and it didn't yesterday either when he said it and everyone started talking about it.

i've felt all along that he would be doing this. so far its been about learning what we need and what the guys we have in house can do and how we can make it work.

it's also been about seeing who wants it or not.

everything that should have been done given a full offseason they are doing now.

we are finding holes that need to be filled. if you aren't giving it everything you've got now or you just aren't playing up the the level you should be, then you're going to be shown the door and replaced with someone who can/will be what we want and need.

btw...i seriously doubt that this was the first the team had heard this. i'm sure they were called out in team meetings already.

Once Cam has a full off season to learn his craft, and our defense is back healthy with some added pieces, the Panthers should take over the league.

Cam going to be a problem next year once he gets a offseason and better at ready defenses

I swear I think about drafting Blackmon so he can rain down terror and thunder on everybody. We wont even need a defense

Rivera said his coaches and himself were being evaluated. He said he has gone back and reviewed his performance.....said he has seen things he needs to change.

All Rivera needs is 1 actual offseason, a healthy D, and a couple moves. Dude will be AWESOME.

Really hard to argue against that logic...

Imagine coming out in 4 wides... Smitty, Blackmon, Gettis, and LaFell...

EEEEWWWWW!!!

With all that said, it'd be hard to imagine anything other than a 100% Defensive draft... Outside of maybe 1 OL

    • This is why they'll lose. The draft pick value is substantial vs. minimal cap impact.
    • You keep mentioning the impact on the salary cap, but that's literally not the point with all these 2nd Rounders, it's all about precedent and it being a slippery slope that would lead to more fully guaranteed contracts for veterans. That's what the teams are making sure this doesn't get to, because yes, you're right, the guarantees for a 2nd rounder won't have significant cap implications if the player doesn't work out.  But you give that fully guaranteed 3-4 year contract to a FA who then shits the bed in year 1 and never regains the form that got them the contract, then yes, it's going to screw up your cap management and won't be a rounding error. And you can say it's a big leap to go from guaranteeing a 2nd round pick's contract to a big FA signing, but it's really not.  Once teams start giving them out, it's only going to keep growing and be insisted upon by agents in other situations and once the ball starts rolling down the hill, it's going to be impossible to stop it's momentum. Also, the only reason a 2nd rounder's contract would be a rounding error, is explicitly because contracts aren't guaranteed and teams can finagle the cap hits with various tactics.  Once contracts become more and more guaranteed, that won't be as easy to do, if even possible at all, and those individual rounding errors become serious problems in totality.
