I honestly don't expect the Rivera regime to be around next season at this point. Its not just the record of 1-4, but its the regression of the team as a whole from last season. Throw in the lack of a total team identity and its not hard to figure out that Rivera is not head coaching material. If his players were playing hard, executing well, and seemed to have bought into his system I would say he has more time... but....

So anyways, there are three rookies I am extremely excited about that should contribute to making a great defensive nucleus for years to come.

Kuechly, Alexander, Norman

Kuechly is a monster. We all know that. That kid will have us cheering for many, many years. No, he isn't flashy. He doesn't celebrate after a tackle. He doesn't have some corny dance coming out of the tunnel in intros, but what he does on the field is all you need to know about him.

Alexander might be the best DE prospect we have had since Peppers. That kid is all motor and in his limited play is getting pressure against more experienced tackles. Big, Big upside.

Norman. Man I love this kid. I was standing in the end zone while he was jawing Edwards. I don't mean he was talking trash. The kid was getting personal with him. I can't repeat what he was saying on here...

He is the Smitty of the defense. If he is this aggressive in both his attitude and play.

This team still has a very bright future. Cam is having the typical sophomore season slump, but he is still going to turn out and be one of the best QBs in this league. I loved what I saw out of Kuechly in his natural spot. I love Norman as well, and Alexander. The thing we need to do is get some coaches in that will fire the team up. Ticked me off how Carroll was jumping around on the sidelines yesterday and it seems his players play fired up all the time. Ours doesnt.

Too many variables to say this. He has a 4 year deal and is quickly tanking in year 2. If JR has any respect for the fans and the organization the absolute minimum number of wins this season should be 5. That would even be pretty terrible and worse than last year.

Rivera won't be fired.

He will work out his contract.

Hurney will be given a chance for his "plan" to work.

Sadly this is true.

The Giants game showed me what this team is about and the last two weeks have confirmed it. I've released any emotional investment in this team for this year. I'm just going to see how it plays out.

Ill still watch all the games and root for this team, but im a realist the season is over. I hate looking to the future becuase I'm a cubs fan, thats all they have. Even the tarheels will suck this year in BBall. All my teams suck this year! Well im not bandwagon and they are my teams Go Panthers, Tarheels, and Cubs...On to the Future sigh!

The interesting thing is that we've been in every game except the Giants. Not only in, but winning late. With good, veteran leadership, this team would be 4-1. RR doesn't know how to pull that out yet, and I dont want to say he'll never figure it out, but I doubt if he'll be given enough rope to do so here. This is a team that is good enough, they're just disorganized and a bit of a mess. Bummer to see a playoff calibre team wasted.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
