Rriverrrrerrra says Panthers can win 10 games this season

Looked, but didn't see it.

Pretty clear this isn't John Fox's team anymore, isn't it?

Yeah, but for the fact that we don't have a respected WR2 to take pressure off Smitty after all these years.

Edit: Oh, sorry, don't want to get off subject.

absolutely. no more bar being set low. if he bar is set low results are going to be low as well. aiming for mediocrity usually results in mediocrity. rivera's no going to setle for "just good enough" and i love it.

I have been saying this for the longest, this team has the talent. You give us at MOST game managing QB play and we are a top 3 team in the NFC easily. Ron Rivera is a smart dude, he knows football and he knows talent when he sees it im behind him 110%. Just get the team and the fans to believe and sit back and watch the show.

he also says.....

Perhaps realizing he'd just went to a place he didn't want to go, Rivera quickly qualified that remark by adding, "I think we can win 10, 11, nine, eight, I’m not sure. To put a number out would be unfair to our guys. But I will say the one thing I want more than anything else is to play hard because I think that gives you chance to win.

:cool:

In fairness, backtracking like that is generally about as effective as "the jury will please disregard that statement." It's out there now.

Not sure what I think of this right now, honestly. Rex Ryan is a bit much sometimes, but nobody really wants a "say nothing" coach like John Fox either.

Kinda hoping Rivera will be somewhere in-between.

Bold talk can be motivating, but it can backfire if you don't back it up.

Ten games this season?

we can win 10 games. pretty reasonable considering the schedule (not as bad as people say). that's different than saying we wil win 10 games.

nothing wrong with saying you can do anything. saying you will do something is different.

the other thread kind of overlooked that as well. we are pretty bad about taking things out of context. focusing on just one part of a statement rather than the statement in it's entirety will often lead you to being wrong.

When asked after Thursday morning’s walkthrough practice what his realistic expectations are for the Panthers this season, Rivera first emphasized he wants his team to compete and play hard, but went on to say, “I’m optimistic about who we are and who we can become. Would I like to win them all? Absolutely. Do I think we can win 10? Yes. I think we can win 10."

Perhaps realizing he'd just went to a place he didn't want to go, Rivera quickly qualified that remark by adding, "I think we can win 10, 11, nine, eight, I’m not sure. To put a number out would be unfair to our guys. But I will say the one thing I want more than anything else is to play hard because I think that gives you chance to win.”

Just a rookie Head Coach showing his inexperience a bit but he quickly tap danced his way out of it.

Nothing to see here, move along.

10-6 is reasonable? what would be unreasonable?

    • Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down. 
    • Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
