Extend Coach Rivera for 10 years!

As said on other threads: the team was prepared...they look like they actually practiced.

The defensive scheme was agressive and the offense had plays that took advantage of the players strengths. (this all seems so logical but we been held hostage to Fox ball so long!)

Also of note...last season: Goodson fumble-Fox clapping saying its okay chomping gum with fingers crossed for a win.

This season: Goodson fumbled and Rivera sits him down and has a personal one on one with him..COACHING!!

At the end of this game it felt like Andy Dufresne breaking out of Shawshank prison! Sweet freedom!!!!

Salvation lies within Rivera and staff.

/signed.

I'm also on the Rivera bandwagon, loved the guys intensity, from his first interview after landing the job to how he absolutely tore Brown a new one in that one TC vid, to the Goodson shellacking tonight. Exactly what this team needs.

Exactly. Fox has always been too much of a brother/friend to the players. Rivera giving Goodie the business on the bench yesterday is a perfect demonstration on how you coach, and demand respect.

Gotta love that 85' Bears branch of coaches.

He did not say go get em next time...you were who you were..

My apologies: Foxisms are just stale and have lost all sense of funny...

Fox was a step up from Siefert and who we needed at the time..just as Rivera is what we need at this time.

Everyone will run their course..even Rivera, but I Love the guy and Chud, Micky D.

Rivera and gang equals: Legitimate team... Even if its a 5 win season...teams will come out of the games beat up...and sweating bullets.

There was much of the same sentiment after Fox turned the franchise around.

Let's not put the apples before the cart.

This.

Half of you clowns will be saying the same thing about Rivera that you said about Fox after a few years. People are fickle, simple minded creatures. Football fans are even more so.

I love what i see from Rivera, but im not ready to call the guy Lombardi yet. Stoked for what this season holds though.

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
