Seminal Sunday

Recommended Posts

Time for Rivera to earn his stripes, same should be said for Cam Newton. If the Panthers are going to take the next step then Sunday in Atlanta is an absolute must! Should they lose it places them 3 full games in the rear. And let's face it people, we have been there before and it is just too deep of a hole to dig out of. History supports the claim. All of that aside, if Cam and Rivera truly possess the star power that we all hope for them, then this needs to be the signature event for the both of them. Both men need each other but they are paid lots of money to be difference makers in their profession. If Cam goes home and lays an egg, or Rivera's men are slow out of the gate enroute to another "grave digging" loss, they should not be spared their warranted criticism. Win the game and breathe life into a team of players that are awaiting leadership from both of these men and have not received it to this point in of the season.

PS....Cam, act like a friggin man and cease with the antics on the sideline and endzone. Be a determined general and play with an edge and focus that is infectious throughout the team.

SCP, you ask how can I single out Cam....because I hold him to the highest standard. That is how...every man has a job to do, but Rivera put the ball in Cams hands and Richardson put the fate of the Panthers in Riveras. Let's put it this way and it takes the speculation out of the equation....Rivera and Newton know very well what a loss this week means. There is not a single other coach or player any more important to our product on Sunday than these 2 men.

Rivera needs a signature game as does Newton- to pretend anything less is being a homer. We need to beat these mother fugers down and good in their own house.

Lets friggin do it!

I havent seen chud establish a running game in the face of any sort of adversity - I guess thats where I lose where his offensive philosophy makes sense - sometimes you have to keep pounding the rock even when youre down by a few points - and, cant believe Im saying it, but, a punt isnt always a bad play

We need to ditch the option as being our base. It ain't getting the job done

Run an I form. Play action. Let cam scramble wild out of that

    • Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
    • Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
