Im not defending Rivera or JR i just dont think being cheap is the reason we have made terrible decisions, if this guy was so cheap why would he give away 10 million to UNCC

 

To get his name on the stadium, and give back to Charlotte after he asked them for money to put in escalators.

 

Allowing Fox to have a lame duck season is cheap, there's no number, pie chart, or quote you can post that says otherwise....

Losing NFC Championship games on the reg

 

This is and will always be terrible logic.  How often do we even MAKE the playoffs?  How many back to back playoff years?  Hardly ever, and zero on the second.

 

I wanted Andy Reid.  Too many people are buying into the "hate Reid" hype because he coached in the worst place in the universe to coach with the worst spoiled fans.  Not only did they treat Reid like crap, but McNabb also.  Andy Reid probably would have came here, and in a small market, he'd be a great coach.  But we don't touch offensive coaches and would sure as hell not pay for someone that is a proven guy that takes his teams to the playoffs.  Reid could do a lot of great things with Cam.

 

For the record, I would take a coach that gets us to the playoffs and NFC championship games more often than not over only making the playoffs like 3 times over the last decade and one super bowl run.  Getting to the playoffs at least gets you a chance.

I agree with you, my comment was more aimed at a knock on Eagles fans

I like Reid a lot as a coach, however Alex Smith is better suited for that O than Cam.

 

This isn't a knock on Cam by the way.

Always torn on the JR bashing because I love his loyalty to Charlotte but hate his football meddling. There's a good chance the Panthers would not still be here if it were any other owner and I still fear for the franchise's fate once he's gone. And obviously his UNCC contribution is just icing on the cake. I'll always respect him for his commitment to this city.

 

That said if Rivera makes it past the bye I'm deeply concerned about his footballing.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
