How are you enjoying Mark with a "C" James....or has he been ran out of A town too?

Can't stand him. I remembered him from when I lived in CLT. He was the one hoping Cam and KB would get hurt before the last atl game

Can't wait for tomorrow.

Ok.. The Bobcats had a crap ass corny name, crap ass colors, crap ass mascot and terrribly branded. Thats why they have been a joke these last several years, its going to take more than one season for the Hornets to go back to first in attendance and oh btw, they had a record set in the mid-late 90s of best attendance record in the league, the fact they went from 25 to 15 in just a matter of months from simply rebranding as the Hornets is good.

JR never brings in outside big money FAs to help this team aside from Keyshawn Johnson, he signed Rivera to an extension after just one good, fluke of a year. BTW, I heard people say "It wouldnt be good for Rivera to enter the season without an extension." Why not?! Seems cut and dry to me, have a winning record two consecutive years, you get your extension, if not then we let you walk.

The way he caved on the Hardy situation. The way he refuses to adapt to the NFL and brings in conservative, anti offense HCs oh and how he hired a GM that is 200 years old, seriously, who the fug hires anyone for any job when they are in their late 50s/early 60s?! Like seriously, nice long term plan there JR.

Dont even get me started on his spending spree in 2011 on guys like Captain, CJ, Beason, D Will just to name a few. The guy is so lazy to do actual research on quality FAs he basicially just signed all of our "core players" core players of which where all part of that garbage of 2-14 season we had.

You are kidding yourself if you really think JR gives anything close to a damn about winning

 

Do you actually believe the crap that spews out of your keyboard?

 

You can't really believe it, I refuse to believe that someone could actually be that stupid. You have to be trolling just to get a response. You have to be.

 

Keyshawn Johnson, a big name free agent that helped the team? To an 8-8 record and no playoffs? 

 

If you were going to say that, why not use Stephen Davis, who helped us to a Superbowl?

1. Wtf are the Panthers going to do? Mike Smith record > Rivera

2. Do you think the Falcons will still ball out knowing they're probably playing for a lame duck and it'll take a deep playoff run to keep Mike? If they lose today, and we win they'll be eliminated. Will they let up a little?

1. If we win today and get into the play offs, then in four seasons Rivera would have two consecutive play off appearances and division titles, something no other Panthers head coach has done. Granted a 7-8-1 record is disappointing, but consecutive play off appearances will keep him in a job.

2. I don't think the Falcons will let up. They will play hard to try and get into the play offs. They'll want to beat us regardless of what might happen to their head coach. Plus, I suspect some of them will be playing for their futures under the current or new coaching regime.

As for Mike Smith potentially getting fired, it isn't surprising, but unless they land a top tier coach (or coordinator), they may end up regretting their decision. Two bad seasons might be worth being fired for, but considering their lacklustre defense, o-line and running game, they haven't really been a legit contender these past two seasons, more of a team in denial that they need to rebuild.
