If we miss the playoffs at 9-7 or 10-6 and still fire Rivera.. We deserve to be bottom dwellers.

Our D is elite, Cam is playing like Peyton Manning. Rivera inherited a 2-14 team with Jimmy Clausen and a joke of a D. Under him we would have gone 6-10, 7-9 and either 9-7 or 10-6 (assuming that will be our record this year). Not to mention back to back OROY and DROY on his watch. You know what kind of teams fire HCs after winning seasons? Terrible teams that never get ahead.

Rivera is like a brand new HC in recent weeks and he now finally gets it. I hate the NFL's playoff structure that punishes success and Rivera is too good of a man and turning into too good of a HC to get "Lovied" and fall victim to a flawed, unfair NFL playoff structure. You just dont fire a HC that oversees a top 3 D and a QB that is having a MVP season. The reason I make this thread today is because the NFC is looking harder and harder to get in at 9-7 or 10-6. Yes I know many of you have your "'line drawn in the sand" and say its playoffs or else but think about it, you really want to risk breaking up a MVP like QB and a top 3 elite D and our first winning record in ages?

Can you all stop with this retarded talk about playoff positioning? It's Week 8. Eight. Ocho. Octo. We're miles away from having to be concerned about that stuff.

 

If Rivera deserves to be back he will make his case by keeping this team playing at the level it's shown it can play at and we'll be playoffs-bound.

I mean, there are legitimate options out there to choose from.  Some coaches can rebuild the roster, but still can't win games.  If we don't make the playoffs, then the next guy will have a lot of talent to work with.  Also, don't forget Hurney completely fuged us as far as handing out big money contracts [going all the way back to Delhomme after the Arizona debacle].

There's simply too much inconsistency too warrant bringing him back without at least a playoff appearance this year.....coaching decisions could have easily resulted in a 10-6 7-9 record the past 2 years

But being 10-6 is good enough, in my book Rivera held up his end of the bargain by getting us a winning record, not his fault the NFL playoff rule makers cant hold up theirs.

Or we hire a Greg Schiano 2.0. Imagine how painful it would be having hired a Schiano disaster the year after we go 10-6. And besides, its all but confirmed that the playoffs will br extended in the next couple seasons, so 9-7 will be good enough anyway by that time.

Last time I checked the NFL is a business....ands,ifs, and buts don't count for squat....you don't see belicheck or harbaugh making excuses...they get the job done regardless

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
