Yeah, definitely has ears on whats happening behind closed doors. I would not post it if I didn't think it was fairly reliable. There really is no upside of me posting it. If its right people will say I was lucky, if not they will say I was full of crap. I just post for the handful of people who find it interesting.

I don't doubt you and it's an interesting tidbit, regardless. It just seems if you add everything up, there's too much smoke for there not to be fire. The look on Rivera's face in Mondays press conference, Rivera's comment about getting over the hump seemed more urgent than the norm, and there's more I just can't think of them at the moment. I have hard time believing that the DG/Rivera meeting earlier this week was strictly about personnel moves.

Lost season if Rivera is fired. At least if he's retained we will probably go on a late season run to keep things interesting. I hate losing with a passion and would prefer screwing up draft position and firing Rivera during the offseason when you can get someone who isn't a low level position coach to run things.

 

Not sure about that. It would signify a house cleaning is coming and players would be on notice.

 

And really, could someone do worse that Rivera at game management?

Gettleman is in his first year and making a first impression on Richardson. He doesn't strike me as a guy willing to let his reputation be dragged down by someone else's incompetence.

Only thing I think hurts....is he schemes well around our defensive weaknesses. We have some big ones.....and he smoke and mirrored us to a top 10 D last year.

I think that is Rivera not McD

Makes sense if it was going to be a mid-season firing, would give the new guy a couple weeks before the next game. 

 

I don't recall where I read that JR wasn't a big Rivera fan but ultimately went the recommendation of Hurney and his staff. 

 

If we lose on Sunday and this is true, it will make for an interesting couple weeks before traveling to Arizona.

From what I hear, defensive players really like and respect McD. They don't hesitate to say he is legit even when off the record. Compared to how they talked about Ron Meeks, its night and day.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
