Rivera did say rookie CB Josh Norman played soft vs Giants, and S Haruki Nakamura was playing too deep, more like how he aligned w/ Ravens.

Ron Rivera a little chippy when asked about defense. Said he thinks pass rush has been good, thought it doesn't show up in sack totals.

Sounds like the honeymoon period is over between Rivera and the local media. Last year, he was refreshing and engaging with his responses. Almost like he was giving more detail than the question asked for.

Now, it seems win or loss, he's more abrupt and definitely more salty.

I remember when Fox was the same way. First time coaches learn there is no benefit from giving out any info.

How long did you play QB in the NFL for?

I can only assume you took it that I was saying having a "mind coach" or anything like that is a negative or bad thing. It's a great thing if it's needed.

I was commenting on how those that denied there was a need will quickly change their tone about it when they find out Newton himself thought it was worth going that route.

    • it's pretty simple IMO.  The Tepper Panthers are the most unsuccessful professional sports in all of sports.  The problem isn't the posters here have changed.  The product dictates the atmosphere more than anything.  In reality, the daily convos about THE worst team in all of pro sports on a fanatics site....is going to feature harsh and critical convo.  Only one entity can actually change that.  It's the Carolina Panthers football team. 
    • Yes message boards will always include that sort of stuff… However, this place has been a cess pool since the team took Bryce Young over CJ Stroud. It becomes a problem when it is accepted and promoted, which it has been here (even by at least one mod). Many posters sole purpose on this board is to try to dunk on others for having different opinions. We just had one write a novella on how talking about Bryce Young’s game winning drives “needs to stop”…after a win. They don’t want real conversation. It “needs to stop”. There are many posters here who literally only show up after losses to dead thread and try to dunk on others about the QB (MRenshaw is an easy example). I really don’t see much of that happening the other way around. There’s too many people that would rather the team be bad so they can feel justified for constant doom and gloom and negative opinions. It’s been pointed out by many over the past couple years. This just isn’t a place to have football discussions anymore because of the constant hyperbole. If you don’t subscribe to “Bryce Young is the worst QB ever who can’t throw the ball further than 5 yards and is the reason why we lose any game we lose and doesn’t help in any game we win”, then you are labeled a Bryce Young Stan. 
    • if you believe he is watching every NFL game.....every week.....go right ahead.  I get it, he said something you like.  But that's like believing the talking heads on the ESPN shows are watching all the games.  You think Stephen A is watching the Panthers every Sunday too?  If Stephen A needs to go on First Take he certainly can pretend like he has watched every snap any player on the roster has taken lol.   No one is that isn't a Panther fan has been watching the 9-25 career go down every Sunday.  Or even a lot of Sunday's.  You know who knows more about Bryce Young than Long? The collective huddle.  What they are reviewing is stat sheets, highlights and in summaries.  It's an old formula lol.
