If you were going to fire Hurney why not give control to Rivera to see if he's got what it takes to be Head Coach/GM. You're not going to get a new GM and start over until next year anyway.

Who knows? What if it works and we pull off 7-8 wins to finish out the year. It wasn't so long ago that people where saying fire Riveria and make Chud the head coach to keep from losing him.

I'm not giving up on Rivera yet as the defense has improved and I don't see him enough of a hand on offense and let's Chud handle that (to a fault as we've seen now). He'll either rain Chud in or replace him.

They've played better. BUT we've had the lead in the fourth qtr in all but one game. And it seems that when we need a defensive stop to seal the W the defense gives it away.

They are usually on the field the entire 4th quarter. Normally when we get the lead, we will do a couple of Read options, A cam sack, punt.

Doesn't change the fact that when they HAVE TO make a stop,they're not capable. We've given up the lead in all those games with around 5 min to go.

What the hell do you expect? We're almost dead last in TOP in the NFL. You can't have players out on the field constantly & expect them to not be tired, haven't you ever played?

No different than our offense having the ball with a few minutes left and needing one FG/TD or even to run out the game....and not delivering either.

We have been in this situation numerous times over the past two seasons....and the offense has failed to deliver even once.

Neither side of the ball have been clutch performers.

they held Dallas to one TD and 4 field goals....what the defense needs is for the offense to avg more than 18 points a game.

This is true. Both sides need to come together. That's why its a team sport. Just don't think the. O should take all the blame.

      NFL Free Agency

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Absolutely. He just turned 27 a few days ago, so quite young. He and Moehrig would be quite the pairing.  I know we say this every year, but this FA period has A LOT of talent that will be switching uniforms. We were aggressive last year and have no doubt this time next week will have some studs on defense.

      DJ Moore traded again

      By Dingo_ate_Babies · Posted

      DJ Moore has always been a bit of an enigma. He came here young, flashed a ton of potential, but never truly grew into a real #1. He’s had a few good reasons, but yet to have a real monster season (outside of his first year with Chicago) We’re still waiting for him to blossom, but he will be 29 next season. I fear that it is too late for him at this point.

      Dane Brugler from The Athletic 2-round cock draft

      I have considered free agency.  LT?  Either not good enough or too expensive.  Besides, this is a good OT draft.  (I would rather have a free agent, mind you, but the Panthers' reality suggests we can't do it without neglecting other positions).  What LTs are available in free agency, and what do you expect to pay?  Any Ickey-level OT is going to cost over $20m.   How much do we already have invested in our OL?  I get your point, but I do not think you can spend over $100m per on your OL. We have 2 guards and a right T who pull in about $75m per season.  We don't have a center yet.  Teams just don't let good LTs hit free agency, and when one does on rare occasion, he is expensive.  If you want a third of the Panther cap going to 5 Offensive Linemen, free agency is the way to go.  We still need S, ILB, Edge, WR, etc. I think we'd need more than Nijman--and I would understand if we went free agent for a T--but that is putting a TON of your cap at OL--so considering our situation, I do not see that option as preferable.  You may disagree. If I was not talking LT on our line and thinking about the cap, I would agree 100%.
