Ok, you've taken possession of Jerry's soul for the meeting tomorrow...

Let's take the most recent reports as the most credible. That is, Jerry has not fully made up his mind on Rivera's fate and much will depend on the outcome of their meeting tomorrow.

You're Jerry Richardson for the day...what do you ask Rivera? What do you want to hear to convince you to let him stick around?

I want to hear what the difference was in the beginning and end of this season. Why were we improved down the stretch? If Rivera can convince me that he knows the reason for the difference in the play of the team, then I keep him. If he stutters and stammers and it appears it was just good fortune, (I don't think that's the case.) then I let him go.

This is the first question I ask him. I want to know what went wrong with the offense. If he basically just says "Chud fuged up" then I would send him packing unless Ron has already made plans to replace Chud. Rivera has to take responsibility for both sides of the ball, period.

I would also ask what we could do differently in our training camp/preseason preparation to get off to a faster start.

I won't ask him anything. I will tell him this

I got good news for you Ron - I am keeping you for another year

I got bad news for you Ron - You don't make a deep playoff run next year, you're gone at the end of next season

You fall 3 games below .500 by the end of september, you're gone the Monday after gameday

You fall 5 games below .500 by the end of october, you're gone the monday after gameday

How is the family Ron :-)

    • Given that the immediate impact we need at edge. We almost certainly address that in Free agency, not in the draft. Same with Linebacker, unless Styles or Allen is still there at 19. I think the same for OT.  What is the position that we could draft in the 1st round and get immediate help in the first is how im approaching their decision-making  I know ill get dragged for this, but im thinking they go DT in the first. A guy that can play right away and be a complement to D.Brown to wreak havoc at the LOS.   So unless a top tier LB is there, I think DT will be the move. 
    • I think people forget that by his last season Steve Smith had the ass and he played like it - and for no really good reason other than that other stars were emerging on the team and he didn't want to share the spot light.  He was more of a locker room distraction than he was worth. He went on to have great performances with the Ravens' but G-man made the right move allowing him to move on from here.  I personally think it was addition by subtraction and we don't have a super bowl run with Smith on the roster. Steve Smith remains a narcissist who I've never seen internalize his own culpability when it comes to his relationships with others - it's always somebody else's fault as to why he was forced to act like an asshole. This video is a product ad.  I'm cringed that either of these two Panther greats are party to it.
    • I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.
