Dearest Ron Rivera,

Dear Ron,

If I were to circle one game the rest of the season that would piss off Big Cat more than any other to lose, it would be this week at home against John Fox.

Considering the strained relationship between these two during Fox's final year here, I think it is safe to say this is a must win game for you personally.

If you win, you just might buy yourself another year with more improvement this season.

If you lose, don't unpack anything else. Its a waste of energy.

Love,

Zod

Dear God. If Denver beats us or even worse blows us up big time, Rivera may be fired that night.

Lots of Panther fans are going to be in reality check mode a week from today.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the win yesterday but we beat a bad team and we have a legitimate SB contender and Peyton Manning rolling in here next week. Oh, and I almost forgot, a former coach who probably wants to score as many points as possible out of spite.

I don't think that you can assume that anyone would blow us out. After all the two supposed hottest teams in the NFL right now, the Falcons and Bears both escaped with a gift game handed to them at the end. Otherwise we pretty much controlled them throughout and beat both of them for 58 minutes. We can play close with anyone this year. Whether we can pull it out in the end is another matter.

We've already taken two "SB contenders" down to the wire this season. I'd say we're more than capable of beating Denver.

EDIT: looks like panthers55 beat me to it.

    • We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.   
    • I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible. 
    • Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
