As my screen name suggest, me being a native of Charlotte and my love of Football means I'm not going anywhere so spare me the bandwagon poo. Seems like all of a sudden I have become a villain for pointing out some uncomfortng things about Rivera.

I made this revelation earlier and posted it in another thread but wanted to make sure everyone was aware of it. fug me..I have been one of his biggest supporters and won't throw in towel this early but motherfuger Rivera...get your poo together!

We beat 5 unique teams last year. The buc's(fired Raheem Morris). The Colt's(fired Jim Caldwell) The Jag's(fired Del Rio)

We did manage to beat Shannahan(started John Beck who went 0-4 last year). and Kubiak(T.J Yates started) last year.

Then this year we beat the saints with their third string coach.

I come here to talk football and hear other views. Anybody have a more positive outlook on him than I currently do (without making personnel excuses)??

first, people are emotional. The "which coaches did they beat" bit is an anecdote.

Second, people think that being some slobbering, spitting, out of control jackass is going to make things better when things aren't going right. It's not. Rivera may be too stoic, but that's about the least relevant thing about coaching, and it's the one that people focus on the most.

I like how this team is built. Maybe it does or doesn't work out, but this is the way I'd build my team with their O and D schemes. I like the design of this team. It's another place that fans, and the teams, can over-react - giving you a worse fit in coaching because the philosophy is different.

Right now, I have a couple concerns - his game management (positive spin, he's young at this), his strength being defense I'd want to see major improvement from where things are right now.

More than anything, this is week 3 and it's awful to demand change right now or give up on a season just because people bought into Kalil and determined that this was clearly a contender. Guarantee that people that are currently devaluing the win against the Saints because it was Aaron Kromer weren't upset about it last week when they were buying in.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By MHS831 · Posted

      If we don't go OT, we will regret it.  What bothers me?  Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19?  I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him.   I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard.  After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2.  In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game.  Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game.   If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early.   I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone.  There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there.  Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.

      I understand that some people want WR. I am solidly against using yet another high pick there. Coker is pretty good and we used No picks on him.  What I think we really need at WR is a little bit of a Smitty lite. It is ridiculous to say let’s get a Smitty because you just can’t do that, but someone not tall and long striding but more in his mold. I think we’d have a pretty well rounded group.    Looking at tackle, with replacing Moton looming, it just seems like the no brainer.  You fill in Icky short term. Depending on how he recovers, and how the new guy plays, you go from there. A tackle at 19 is most likely either a LOT, a ROT, or a big talented guard, at worst. We will need all three in the next couple of years.  I would love to have a stud ILB be there at 19 but the OL is the responsible thing to do I believe.
