Rivera deserves a ton of praise.  I've been very critical of him, but something has clicked with him the last four-five weeks.  It was evident to me in watching him absolutely hammer the officiating crew under the 2 minute warning up 31-13.  If you go back and watch him as he is going off, take a look at the players watching his every move on the sideline.  His attitude and passion is bleeding through to the team and they are responding.

 

The players have rallied behind the gutsy calls.

 

I'm still not 100% sold on him (I need to see him make these calls in a close game), but I really appreciate a head coach being as candid as he is and also recognizing weaknesses and putting forth effort to fix them.

I feel that we should keep Ron. I believe he has finally learned his lesson. He has grown tremendously and it would be foolish to part ways. There was a time I wanted him fired but not now. It would do more harm to our team to get rid of him now or after the season then to keep him and allow him to grow and improve.

Really good coaches have an intuition about the game (including 4th downs, substitutions, etc.). Ron tried to work too much out the book in the past. Any dolt can make decisions based off percentages. The really good coaches have a FEEL for the moment, the game, and their team!!

 

Hopefully, Rivera is getting there/this, or almost there!!??

Ron is growing as a coach.

 

Shula really seems to be a flexible playcaller that wants to get the ball to his playmakers the way the want it.

 

But I don't think I've seen many posts creditting Ken Dorsey. Cam has really gotten better in his short to medium passes, and he's finally making back shoulder throws when the defender has their back turned. I have to think Dorsey had something to do with all of those improvements. He should get more credit than he's getting.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      with arm strength people often get stuck on the distance  arm strength in the NFL is moreso measured in speed / velocity .which of course is how long does it take for  the ball to travel from the time of release until it reaches its target ? & u beat world class speed with more speed on the ball...just saying

      No GM hits 100%. I'm well aware. But what a GM has to do is look at the roster, what's available, and future contracts and go from there. XL was a one season wonder in college. He has speed. Who cares. He body catches and his hands are bricks. Speed doesn't matter when you don't actually have the ball. There were other receivers available with better resumes. XL was a project. Fitts loved projects. You don't have the luxury of projects when you just traded away DJ for a QB. 1st round WRs need to contribute now.  Brooks was a luxury RB pick we didn't have the luxury to make. Who cares if Dallas was going to pick him. We had holes all over our defense. Chuba was coming off a fresh contract. We just inked 150m interior line and then centered it by moving a guard to center that had suffered 2 season ending injuries. The most critical area on our line was being held together by a bandaid and a prayer. No surprise when it didn't work.   Wallace is getting better but Wilson was sitting there waiting to be taken. DPOY for college football right there for the taking. That was a gimme pick. If you're going to take a risk on an injured player, the 3rd round for Wilson made a whole lot more sense at a position we were rest stop TP thin at.  4th round and on aren't going to be heavy contributors unless you're lucky.  He did well on the trade for Jackson. Coker, I believe he offered the largest guarantee. He actually got more than some late round picks make.  Those 1st 3 picks, IMO, were straight up whiffs.  Looking back at Fitterer's picks, I think he tried to plug holes because we had a ton of them. Problem was, he wasn't very good at it and he loved RAS scores and developmental players with a coach that couldn't develop a Polaroid. He tried to do too much. He was impatient. His other problem was he panicked during the draft and couldn't read or understand the flow of how drafts tend to go. DJ Johnson was the prime example. We needed an edge rusher and he jumped in at the end of the run instead of starting it.  Morgan's first year looked exactly like Fitts to me. Lots of projects.  2nd year looks better.  We'll see how 3rd year goes. FA also plays into all of this as well but that's a whole different topic of how it played out and planning with regard to drafting.

      I judge how good our players are by the way a defense covers them. XL draws no special coverage. Coker on the other hand always has a man over the top. It still doesn’t matter. You be the judge.
