Probability of the Panthers winning at least 4 games this season...

Well, that just isn't accurate. Now whether that approach means anything is perfectly fine argument.

heck, just look at the NFCS.....every head coach in our division get worked up routinely. Smith, Payton, and the new guy all get very animated.

Animated, yes. Grab a facemask and yell, not so much. That kind of stuff just doesn't happen anymore in todays NFL.

Personally, I think Rivera is still trying to find his footing. He may turn out to be a great coach, or he may never figure it out. There is just no way to tell after 20 games. Or at least that is how I see it. Some folks can't wait for Rivera to figure it out cuz they want their victories now. I am wlling to give him some time, but I know I am in the minority.

Eh, all 3 NFCS guys get pretty intense and on players in game fairly consistant......and on refs.

this is exactly how i feel. if we win 6 or 7 games again there is a 0% chance Hurney or the coaching staff get let go of. however if we finish 3-13 or 4-12 he has no other choice. the fan base would fuging riot if he didn't do something about it

dang it sir we just ruined my day. I am now torn between watching wine a cheese guys riot (picture it if you can) and the good of the team

Head coaches have too much to do to babysit millionaire players. Players nowadays cannot handle a coach ripping on them. They are just like the majority of Huddlers. They would fap unmercifully should a coach grab their facemask.

I don't think you understand what people are referring to when they use the term "fap", unless you think all players and Huddlers are masochists.

I think if the Panthers lose to the Cowboys, you can blow Taps on them and they will be lucky to win 2 more games, so 3-13.

Quite a tumble from the 'playoff' hopes.

For it to have any chance of getting better:

1. Newton, no turn-overs and findng is second and 3 rd options.

2. the oline suddenly learns how to block...what a difference changing 2 guards and losing Shockey has made

3. the secondary suddenly needs to learn how to cover

4. Mcdermott has to give up the soft zone

5. Chudzinksi has to become a bit more traditional

6. Rivera, suddenly gets his head out of his ass, gets engaged in the game, and lets best players (Keek) play his natural position and injured players (beason) sit

7. Tolbert needs to remember he is a football player.

Odds of these things happening, very low.

Odds of fans and PSL holders staying interested in the team if things don't improve, very low.

For a man who 'wants to win' JR certainly seems to either have no luck or puts the worng people in charge of making the football decisions.

The reality of that SuperBowl run is it was also partly on the talent of Steve Smith, Morgan, Jenkins from the Siefert era which ironically is the reason Hurney got the job anyway and Muhammed and a few holders from Capers.

The Panthers have not had a decent DT or WR since.

Oh yea. I want my head coach yelling at everyone all game. That is just as bad as being a statue. Getting on the refs, sure. Being intense, sure. I want my head coach to coach the game, not spend his time do other things.

You cannot have it both ways. A head coach has too much on his plate to spend too much time getting on his players.

The original post was for a head coach that is a physical, grab the facemask, kind of coach. Those days are over.

No, but Gholston from MSU can. Not sure why a DE is such a high priortiy? Although I am all for getting talented players. You can't go wrong with talent. Well, if they don't all play the same position that is.

Probably bc DL play is as important as ever. Plus multiple DEs start and can play every down.

But DT, CB, and most importantly S rank ahead. WR probably does to. We probably need a more diverse TE as well. G too. We have lots of needs

I don't want my HC yelling all game or wearing his emotions on his sleeve.....

It all depends on which team shows up on game days... Good panthers or bad panthers.

My guess is that we'll win a game or two we "should" lose and lose a game or two we "should" win.

I'll also say that if the offense that played against the Giants and Seahawks shows up the rest of the season, we will finish 1-15.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
