I've been thinking of this and imagine Rivera with a competent GM, he never really had one here. The closest was Gettleman and that's a stretch but he still basically won with him as the GM. 

Eh, Rivera had plenty of weaknesses. He's like an Alex Smith of coaches, decent enough to maybe get you somewhere with absolute perfection around him (a la Ron in 2013 and 2015) but not good enough to win many games on his own/elevate a team.

He is better in every aspect than Rhule, but his time here was done. I wish Tepper would hire someone competent to run football operations and let him run it. 

I whish we still had RON RIVERA. He is way way way better than this Clown circus we have NOW.

I think that this is the year that he and Rhule both have to make things happen or they'll both find themselves looking for another job. Year three is a crucial "prove it" year for coaches. (Actually in it is for players too) Rivera is ahead of Rhule, but he's also got a poo ton more experience so he should be.

I'm beginning to think of the trio, Tepper was the worst.

Never let yourself forget the atrocity that is Marty Hurney.

No one person has had more influence over the quality of this team than Marty.  Most every bonehead decision prior to Tepper can be traced to Marty.

Hes the worst, was always the worst, will always be the worst.

There's a part of me that's always going to wonder how things would have played out if Tepper had done the right thing and fired Marty first.

(I know we're already talking in another thread haha)

But Rivera with Fitterer would've been pretty damn great now that you mention it.

my guess is Ron still gets fired and good chance we still end up with Rhule.

What do you think would have happened?

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
