1. Ron Rivera

2. John Fox

3. Capers 

Fox and Rivera is close.  But Rivera coached the best team in history and was more open to being more aggressive, whereas Fox always remained the same ole' conservative coach.  I'd also argue that Rivera surrounded himself with better assistant coaches than Fox did.  AND lastly, Fox tanked one of the best and probably the most underrated Panthers team ever (2009 Panthers) because of his refusal to bench Jake Delhomme.  That was a more complete version of the 2008 team and all we needed was Matt Moore to be the starter, but Fox refused.  Rivera wasn't the best at personnel changes but I don't think any decision he made was worse than Fox's that year to stick with Jake.

Capers, Fox, Rivera.

Capers had the most successful first season for any expansion team ever to that point. Never made it to the Super Bowl but the run in year 2 was one of the best we ever had.

Fox got us to within minutes of beating the most decorated QB of all time and pulled us up from the cellar pretty damn fast.

Rivera had the single best season of any coach but also squandered the most talent. Third best, but also one who underachieved in many ways.

Seifert screwed up when he thought he was Bill Walsh and could dump Beuerlein because he found Jeff Lewis and Chris Weinke as his back up. Too bad he had a real NFL QB succeeding in NFLE in Dameyune Craig who he never gave an opportunity to start and prove he could succeed in the NFL. Draft Brady in 2000 and Brees in 2001. Beuerlein, Brady, Brees, and Craig would have made for a nice QB room. Bill Walsh he was not.

I hate you for even bringing this topic up.

 

No, No, it's fine. 

 

Just pour salt in the wound of 25 years of mediocrity at best. I don't mind.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
