The Official "Eat Your Riverboat Ron Crow Here" Thread

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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
