Will we have the balls to cut Rivera midseason in 2013?

I say it's worth hanging onto him at this point mainly b/c the players support him and believe in him. Chud still needs to go this year, and i say bring in Norv. Norv can fully focus on offense, and can coach the QB position. Rivera and McDouchebag can focus on the D and making it a top 10 D. However, if we faulter out of the gate to say 1-5, he needs to be canned immediately to try and salvage the year. As a fan we've been down this road too many times to generate hype for the next year only to come out and lose to the Bills on opening weekend.

JR isn't going to fire anyone midseason. We need to hope he has the balls to fire him after this year. 7-9 gets it done around here after a previous 6-10 season? I really hope not. It's different to be between 7-9 and 9-7 when you are battling all season for a playoff spot. We were essentially eliminated from the playoffs after 10 games this year...

It begs the question that all sane Panther fans are asking themselves...Why expect anything different after two years of essentially the exact same season (suck at the beginning...turn it on for meaningless games at the end)? My answer is that there will be no difference. None. At. All.

All that JR needs to realize that Ron Rivera is in over his head. He is not a head coach. PERIOD.

You sure about that?

It took JR how many years to get rid of that clown?

Maybe I'm being too optimistic (especially considering our owner) but I really hope he doesn't think that a bunch of worthless wins over the Eagles, Raiders, Chargers, and Saints are worth keeping a coach. We beat two teams this year who are going to the playoffs. Maybe if his piss-poor coaching didn't crap away wins against the Bears, Bucs (TWICE), and Chiefs we'd be fighting for a wild card spot at 9-6 instead of winning meaningless games that are only costing us draft position.

So...really hoping that JR sees through this BS that is happening at this point in the season when it is too late.

6-10, 7-9, 8-8?

anything less than stellar preformance by rivera in the first 25% of the season, at least 2-2 and that is all the time I would give him. I think JR will give him more like half or more of the season.

But at that point, if that happens its another season of Cam's & every other young player wasted in effect. Lets not let it get to that point

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
