The logic doesn’t add up. I was done with JR a helluva long time ago. Can still be a fan without any faith in the owner/coaches/gm 

Perhaps, based upon your perspective, but the "logic" can easily add up in the other direction as well, that's why it was presented with a question mark. 

On an off note, it doesn't seem "logical" to me to give up on an owner who has barely been the owner of the Panthers for six months because he didn't make the move(s) that you desired after one failed season.

It’s not just “a move I desire”. Ron is awful. That’s a widely held belief. I’d been hoping new ownership would finally manage this franchise in a progressive direction rather than staying stuck in the past. Keeping Rivera after this abortion of a season proves otherwise.  I’m not saying I could never regain faith in him, but until Ron is gone I have no faith.

How you figure that? Cams shoulder or you think we trade Cam?

My thinking is that since Norv was a big positive this year. Tepper might give Ron another shot knowing he has the right OC for Cam Newton. Because if he fired Ron then Turner goes too. Tepper doesn’t have any attachments to these guys and I wonder if he’d be willing to see Cam with a new HC.

 

I get the Turner argument, he was good this year. But I don’t think he was so good that the sum total of his positive effect and Ron’s negative effect equals an overall positive effect.  If it’s both or neither with those two, I choose neither.

this sucks.   not building my sundays around the team again til he's gone.  f you tepper.   you're gonna have to make him get a defensive and special teams coordinators that are really good.  they have to be good enough to compensate for rr's in game decision making.    why not just do it all.

great way to put it. I’m not dropping the team but barring some radical improvement I’m not planning another sunday around rivera football

    • If I’m putting myself in a team’s shoes - you’re looking at these prospects and Warren hits most boxes for a TE with a plus on most. So yeah, he’s a great prospect, no doubt, 1st round talent as a TE. But when I look at him through the lens of that PSU offense, they were running so much through him, I’m not so sure it was beneficial to seeing how he translates.  They were getting him open in the flat, running weird trick plays, and designed a lot of ways to find him on delayed seam routes and such. So a lot was structured around getting him the ball in creative ways to advance the ball, in steady sequences, methodically down the field.  Thing is, yeah he’s catching a ton, is big, and can block, but throw him into an NFL offense in a more traditional sense, he’s gonna be stickied by speedy LBs and big nickels. I just wonder how he is in a more isolated fashion— when he’s just a piece of a greater NFL offense getting shadowed by more talented defenders. I think it could still be great but I have question marks when it’s at the TE position. Will he look no different than other very solid TEs or is he this offensive centerpiece at the position that doesn’t come along often (Bowers, Gronk, Kelce, Witten, TG, etc)? I think he brings a ton and could be one of the safer TE prospects, but what I’m unsure about is if you’re really getting this new age Witten type people are crowning him as. Even if that’s the case, is that worth it? If he wasn’t in PSU’s Franklin/Allar offense, would you be seeing the same output?  More questions than anything - I could get on board with it, but it’s hard for me to really project because of how that offense was (which was so frustrating at times). 
    • Twitter sources, but supposedly the Rams want him. He might actually go Round 1. 
    • You aren't going to ever get him out of the equation. As he has stated previously, he believes it his right to make the final call on decisions.
