Don't expect any big coaching news from the Panthers on Monday

If the combo of RR and BB are put into effect for 2013 my Sundays will be allocated to yard work and tinkering on one of my project cars. I will get my football "fix" on Saturdays. I cant take the frustration anymore...

Agreed, keep Rivera fine but hiring Beane on top of it is a big middle finger to Panther fans and i will turn in my fan card until we make the playoffs

This, unless they start the season 2-0 or something. If that happens you'll be on the bandwagon with the rest of us.

Ummm... not really,,, to be honest this season kinda took something out of me. I guess finally having something to be excited about again and them being let down AGAIN finally got to me. If i see the game, great, if I miss it, Ill catch the highlights... Nowadays a win seems like a pleasant suprise than an expectation regardless of the opponent. Its tough being proud of your city and both sports franchises are the laughing stocks of their respective leagues.

I guess its because i took a step back and took a hard look at JR and his approach to running this team and I have concluded that as long as we fans keep buying tix and merchandise and arent about to riot, he is OK with giving us the least we will tolerate. I think JR knows that he fans will accept a minimum of 7-9 to keep the pitch forks and paper bags from showing up at BofA stadium. Anything better is just gravy to keep the following year's "hope and dream" machine going...

If no decision on Monday then that doesn't go well for Rivera. If you ask me, I would feel like they are thinking about letting him go. Why? Because if JR wanted him back that would be a clear cut decision.

If Richardson wanted him gone, that'd be a clear cut decision too.

What I take from it is that there's a good chance he'll leave the decision to the new GM.

Yeah but you don't want to have knee jerk reactions . It's a great chance that the new GM might make the decision on that front. But I think JR will make his decision at least by Wednesday or Thursday and Rivera will be let go.

I think it ought to be up to the GM.

Let that be his first official decision.

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
