It's time for all the negativity, back-handed compliments (i.e., he is just a nice guy) and insults, and outright stupidity to stop. Rivera is our guy going into next season. He hasn't been all good, but he hasn't been as bad a coach as some of you are trying to make him out to be. Rivera got J-Rich's blessing, so deal with it! We missed the playoffs. Deal with it! Go have a drink! Jump on another bandwagon! Go worship Bob 3! Do something more productive than continuing to insult the coach.

I never believed in the power of negative thinking, and I still don't. If that's what floats your boat, then make sure you don't forget your life preservers. Once you get fished out of the sea of negativity a year from now, you can liken your experience to a baptism. It will be a baptism by Ron Rivera. Once we get you all dry and warmed up in front of the fire, top dawg will have a nice slow-cooked pot of crow stew waiting on the stove for you.

God bless the Panthers, and God bless Chico!

I was somewhat on the fence about keeping him but what I thought was the most convincing was the locker room support. Those guys had nothing to play for but it looked like everyone sacked up and played out the season. Maybe they didn't all play for Rivera but it is clear he has the ear of the locker room. Despite the emotion on the board, I think starting over would have been a set back.

I was as disappointed as anyone when we kept him. I was a high on Kelly as anyone. I really still do think keeping Rivera will turn out to be a bad idea.

But I know enough to know I'm not always right and I hope I'm wrong. I'm not going into the season spouting "Damnit I hope they lose every game just so I can tell people I was right". I'll give this team, and Rivera as the coach, as much support next season as I do every season. If he turns the corner and shows he has the goods this season I will be more than happy to eat mounds and mounds of crow. I certainly won't cheer for losses or mistakes.

If we secure a playoff berth next year I will fully support him remaining our coach. But if we fail to make the playoffs next year, barring cataclysmic event like Cam going down to season ending injury, I will be right back on my fire Rivera and hire someone worth a poo bandwagon the moment the last game of 2013 is over.

People crying about others complaining is always more annoying than people complaining.

Why do you think nobody likes brooklyn bully?

Well, actually I am not crying about others complaining, I am telling them to shut the hell up. It's time to move on, plain and simple. Don't know brooklyn bully that well, but brooklyn bully is not top dawg. If you like me, that's fine. If you don't, that's fine also. I am just saying what needs to be said at the moment.

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.

      Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
