Well, get ready for another year of Ron Rivera..

So if the Panthers beat the Bucs, (which looks like will happen.) We will go on and "finish strong" again against weaker teams, probably finish 7-9 or 8-8 and Rivera saves his job again. Then the same crap will happen next year. We will play ourselves out of playoff position but "finish strong" against bad teams. Wrinse and repeat.

If we finish 7-9 or 8-8 you can rest assured he gets another year. Then what happens? We will lose and move out of playoff contention next year and "Finish strong" pathetic

In a year and a half we have beat one team with a winning record. I don't care how we finish, unless JR truly is happy with losing there is no way he keeps Rivera.

The end of this game is exactly why Rivera doesn't deserve another year...we have our best receiver matched up on a guy who can't cover him, Cam is FINALLY in a rhythm, and we call 3 straight runs in order to let them have one last shot with 1 minute left. No matter if they win or not...its just a stupid decision not to try to close out the game yourself.

    • Yeah but at least that QB would be not short.  I keep going back to the fact other than Wilson no other short QB has ever won a Super Bowl. The success rate of short QBs is very, very low. Like count on one hand low.  Yeah some people would include Brees too but I don’t consider a 6 foot tall QB short, imo. 
    • I just rewatched all the highlights from after Bryce being benched. The Bryce hate needs to calm down a little bit. He showed a ton of potential the back half of the year. Same with Legette. They both made great plays when it mattered and a few mistakes when it counted. If we didn’t have a historically awful defense last year we could have ended even a bit better. Going into a brand new season we should be optimistic at least before game one. 2015 no one expected to go anywhere and the team steam rolled the league. I’m not saying that will happen, but hopefully we made strides to improve on the end of last year. Bryce put both Super Bowl teams in a battle last year and if we had a better D we could have taken them both. So at least look forward to the season and not past the season until it at least begins. 
    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
