Respect to Rivera

Nah, Cam wouldn’t of been special on a lot of teams.  They wouldn’t of ran him like we did. They wouldn’t of brought in the college scheme. 

GM was a bigger problem than HC IMO.  Ron was a good HC.   Roster around Cam was the biggest sin. 

The GM argument doesn't hold weight because he literally chose the same GM to go with him lol.  If it was the case, we are still talking about Ron is too clueless to realize how bad of a GM Hurney is because he still brought him which still makes him a mediocre coach.   Ron seems like a good dude and a stable coach like others pointed out but he doesn't get you where you need to go.  Cam did carry that offense and carry us to red zone success after success especially in 2015.   Ron's defense was usually respectable but he kept playing guys like Fua and Nakamara and refused to put in the hot hand young guys.   Combined with almost no adjustments during half time, etc, it just led to mediocrity.  So yes Hurney did suck but Ron seemed to think he was pretty good, so it wouldn't matter, both are mediocre.

Ron had a winning record here.    And he still has an overall winning record despite losing in Washington to date. 

Ron gets too much hate.   His window here simply closed.  That's coaching.   

 

Apologies. I meant he had three years here with a winning record out of 9 seasons.

Lol I like how I mentioned football aside and showed a touching video about his emotions just two weeks after his mother passing and people are hating on no back to back winning seasons.

This site has lots of douche holes and the internet as a whole if you have never noticed before. Lots of double chinned couch GM's and smart asses who think they have every answer from their living room. It's almost like being an obese pie eating loud mouth on a message board somehow qualifies some people as being experts and legends in their own living rooms.

FYI Hurney is not GM in Washington. Martin Mayhew is. Hurney is executive vice president of football/player personnel. 

Eh he's still involved and was still brought there with Ron.  If Ron felt like Hurney impeded his progress at all that would make no sense.

Say what you want but he coached us to the best season we have ever had, and is an amazing person…football aside. I am happy to see moments like this, he has been in a terrible situation in Washington and in his personal life with the loss of his mother and cancer. He has always had the respect of his team and the locker room everywhere he has been.

And that's why I wanted Wilks. People say that Wilks being similar to Rivera in demeanor is a bad thing. His guys play for him and truly love and respect him as a human being. Wilks has brought this team together more than admirablely.

Ron loved Hurney lol. Ron's best years were with DG, the years that got him over .500. He would have been a stellar HC in the 70s. He is a sub .500 HC without Cam and that is a fact from his time in DC. 

Rivera is presently only 5 games under .500 as a NFL coach without Cam Newton as his starting QB.  

Yeah, Ron is an old school defensive coach.  It's not my preferred coaching style in the modern NFL.  But Ron was still a good coach.  Two different things.

We'd be hating on Ron constantly if it wasn't for Cam.  Ron was gifted the #1 overall pick with a very obvious choice in that draft.  His  players are a who's who of the greatest Panthers of all time, and he couldn't get it done

The Broncos said that we made absolutely no adjustments in the SB.  We did exactly what they had on tape.  The loss was on Ron as much as anybody.
 

He constantly blamed the players with their "missed opportunities."  He punted in field goal range.   He overplayed old vets to a fault.

Ron COMPLETELY ignored the OL.

He used Cam as a battering ram, depleted our roster and then left us a  shlt show for the next coach to figure out.

Cam Newton wasn’t Andrew Luck.  He wasn’t the consensus easy pick or obvious.   He was considered a risky gamble.  Especially at #1 overall. 

Players have made just about every good coach the NFL has ever seen. 

and Fox had more Panther greats than Ron.

I call BS.

Choosing a QB is always a risky gamble.  College doesn't always translate to the pros. 

The questions is, what did we need and what was available. 

We clearly needed a QB and no one mocked Locker to us.   Cam Newton was the Heisman Trophy winner who carried Auburn on his back to the national championship.  The next QB (Locker ) wasn't taken until 8.  Nobody traded up for Locker .   ESPN, SI, BR, SBNation, Walter all mocked Cam to us.

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
