Just watching the video of Ron discussing Stephen Hill and other topics.

What stood out to me in the interview was talking about the Preseason game with New England.  Missing opportunities was such a key element and he was saying those were correctable mistakes.   But what makes Rivera stand out more than any other coach and what I believe makes this team great.  Was the statement that it falls on the Coaches to put the players in the right spot to succeed.  NEVER throws a player under the bus and puts part of the problem on the coaches.  This feeds into the team atmosphere that we have in Carolina.  It is what makes the locker room one of the best in the business.  Two great players  Peanut Tillman and Jared Allen both confirm this. 

It took a couple of years but Rivera, the two time Coach of the year, has made Carolina a place players want to come.

If he were ever to be fired.  He would be scooped up so fast our heads would spin.

I am glad he is OUR Head Coach.

Just think, some of us wanted (me included) Jim Harbaugh. If that had happened, we would already have another coach.I know, who knows, different timelines...

But I also was not disappointed when we got Rivera either. So it has worked out for everyone.

I remember the conversations that if we hired Harbaugh then Luck would leave Stanford and join Jim in Carolina.

LUCK ily for us.  He went to San Fran and they Got the sleeper of the Draft Colin Kaepernick.

I thought Rivera should have had a chance after Chicago went to the Super Bowl.  When he went to San Diego and turned their defense around I knew he was right up there with Harbaugh, for me at least.

I am glad Hurney signed him.

And to think, sooooo many people were calling for his head.  J-Rich knew what he had, and he made sure to put Getty in a position to discover that Ron "Chico" Rivera was the best guy for the job as well. Patience and belief were the keys, the proper way to build upon a capstone of raw talent, as necessary as water to seeds in a garden.

True story I started a Madden Franchise John Fox's last year as head coach here. The next year the team randomly chose Ron Rivera as head coach. With me leading as a tall athletic quarterback needless to say the Panthers got a lot of winning done. I'm taking 0% of the credit for the Panthers success of course I just find it coincidental.

Maybe Hurney saw your team and the rest is history. 

Thanks for all you have done for our wonderful Panthers.

      When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.

      This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))

      I’m hoping SMU messes it all up and wins out. Imagine the SEC & BI0 would crap themselves trying to “fix” the problem.
