The Official "Eat Your Riverboat Ron Crow Here" Thread


TylerDurden

Recommended Posts

I'll take the first bite. Perhaps it should be the "eat Ron Rivera crow" thread, because this new coach is completely unrecognizable. I didn't think he had it in him and I was one of his biggest detractors, so gimme my plate. I'd like some hot sauce and some honey mustard sauce please. Thanks.

I'll eat the crow raw.  I wanted his ass canned and he's proven me wrong and grown into a helluva coach recently.  Props to Ron and the whole team for never quitting at any moment during this new Panther era.  They have learned from mistakes and gotten better and better.

By the way I am glad that I was wrong.  I was wrong about many things.  We are emotional fans who have invested more years in this team than many of the players have.  I was wrong for also saying that this team was unprofessional after the Arizona game.  So glad to be wrong and I will gladly admit that I was wrong on 2 fronts.

I've been one of biggest supporters but even so, I am still not quite sure he's there yet. Having said that, I am not at all surprised and really do not think he's that much different than in the past. He's just a little more aggressive offensively.

I ain't eating poo. If Rivera would have used common sense coaching earlier we would be in an even better spot.

You have trouble letting go of things don't you?

I am thrilled he had an epiphany after the Buffalo game and turned into Riverboat Ron, but I'm not gonna forget the terrible coaching prior to the transformation.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
