by Steve Reed - Rivera understands why Newton takes losing so hard

QB Cam Newton is taking each Panthers loss pretty hard, which doesn't bother coach Ron Rivera. "You don’t ever want to accept losing," Rivera said. "And unfortunately when you do begin to accept losing, it is what it is. And we can’t have that. We just cannot. So I would rather take that any day of the week." Panthers RapidReports

When Fox first came to Carolina people liked him for his open and honest comments too. Compared to Seifert it was a breath of fresh air. Over time though I think these guys just get tired of answering stupid questions from our less than thought provoking journalists. I wouldn't be surprised if he tightens up over time and I wouldn't blame him for it.

i think he was making fun of fox. lets not over react.

I don't, but like I said above I can see how it could be taken that way.

Rivera doesn't strike me as the type to cut on another head coach in a presser.

What I get from the context is that Rivera also isn't the type to just accept that certain things can't be changed. He's always struck me as way more proactive than that.

      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.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
