This is the end, my lonely friend, the end.

I believed Ron also left a press conference a few years ago when peppered about Luke Kuechly injury questions. Ron's very patient with the media but injury matters are a quick way to really get on his nerves.

The presser lasted less than two minutes. He told reporters to talk about Arizona and reporters continued to ask about Cam Newton and he left.

Wait...

All these years this place has been screaming about the reporters asking lay up like questions and get mad when the reporters don’t press. Now they press and people side with Ron...?

Can’t make this stuff up. Pick a damn side and stay on it people 

 

Redundancy is not "pressing."

He warned them, and Person keeps doing person stuff.  He's got better things to do.

Ol' Riverboat seems like he's feeling the heat a little bit to me....

I don't think Ron has gotten enough heat in the media for being a lame duck coach for the last 8 years.  I hope they rip his sorry ass apart.

For sure, like mismanaging and blaming his star player for everything on the mounting losses.

I mean...he said he will cut it short if there is one more Cam question after Cam question after Cam question.

He kept his promise.

There is nothing wrong with that, either. David Newton is a dickhead.

Ron is more than generous with the media. He’s been that way since 2011. Sometimes too generous. This was more than warranted. And I’ve spent time in these pressers, so I’m usually on the side of the media getting as much USEFUL info as possible. But this is just redundant nonsense

Tbqh Ron Rivera has had it pretty nice over the years in terms of fielding tough questions from the media. Take one look at NY. This isn't that bad at all.

The walking out doesn't matter. That's not really going to alter my view of him as a coach in any way. But doing so staring down a potential 0-3 start after how we finished last season? He's going to get flack for that. It comes with the territory of being a head coach.

You’d like to think so but the results say otherwise
