So... I know I don't do this often, but you should know you can trust me. I was the one who told you Pep didn't "respect" the "coaches"... and he's no longer here. I was the one who first told you Otah would not be a Panther this year... and he is not. My family knows someone on the staff that talks to players daily. Since the players give their trust to this person, I will not name names. Hell, I shouldn't even make this thread. But screw it.

Anyway, this person gave someone in my family an interesting nuggest recently. They said that one of Rivera's approaches toward the players is going poorly. Why? According to the players themselves, Rivera chews them out with an insane amount of profanity all the time. And the players are starting to "tune him out". That ain't good, folks.

It looks like Rivera is doing things behind closed doors, while he's robotic on the field, but he can't seem to do it in a positive way yet.

Actually, im as critical of Rivera as anyone on here but I have to defend him here. Our players are pussies of this is true. Rex Ryan and Bellicheck both do the same thing. I actually have a little more respect for Rivera if thats true, our players deserve it. Not all of them but a lot of them, boo hoo. They get paid millions and they complain about profanity? Really?

i could always tell he was hiding his inner ditka with that staredown. And sounds like the players don't like getting ripped on behind close doors. They better get used to it or take it to heart because there aren't many coaches out there that won't go off on crappy playing. Or maybe it just shows the kind of attitude that sits(steve smith would call it lackadaisical) in some of the members of the team..

Uhh every coach at every level does this. Players only tune it out if they don't respect the coach. If they don't respect him thats his fault.

Due to the hierarchy he's going to have artificial respect but he needs to do better at his own job if he want's any one to follow and believe in him.

I still stand by my thought this team needed to be gutted and the "core" redefined when Fox left. Hurney pretty much drafted Cam and maintained the core was the same.

I think the entire team could of used a different vibe. Team overall has always come across to nice and soft. Smith excluded. D especially. OL as well.

Here's the difference though (assuming the story is true)...Ryan and Bellicheck are always like that. They are rough in their public personas and rough behind closed doors.

One of the worst things a manager can do is be inconsistent. If Rivera is Mr. Good Guy when the cameras are around, and a raving maniac when they're off, that is not a formula for successful leadership.

However, no offense to the OP, but I'm taking this with a grain of salt until we know for sure.

      Possibly so but that doesn't really change what I said.

      Rough Depth Chart (with position analyses)

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Per Mike Kaye: Here are the Panthers’ biggest remaining needs as the team enters free agency: Safety: The Panthers have just two players at the position entering the middle of the week: Moehrig and second-year DB Demani Richardson. While Moehrig, based on his contract, is the crown jewel of the Panthers’ free-agent haul, Richardson is still a bit of a mystery. At best, the Panthers need at least three more players at safety, with at least one of them being good enough to compete with Richardson for a starting job. It’s pretty likely the Panthers add another external free agent at the position before the NFL Draft. Outside linebacker: The Panthers brought in Jones to raise the oor of the depth chart on the edge. Jones, D.J. Wonnum and Jadeveon Clowney are currently the Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen (19) celebrates after scoring a touchdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the rst quarter at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fl. on Sunday Dec 29, 2024 Nathan Ray Seebeck Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images top three players on the depth chart. From there, the unit has D.J. Johnson and not much else. And one could argue that Johnson will need to have a very strong summer to stick around for a third year. The Panthers need to get better here, whether in free agency or the draft. Running back: Carolina cut veteran running back Miles Sanders on Tuesday. While Sanders was a disappointment during his two years in Charlotte, his release leaves the depth chart pretty light behind Chuba Hubbard. The Panthers only have Hubbard, Jonathon Brooks (coming o a second ACL surgery in as many oseasons) and Emani Bailey on the depth chart. There are plenty of options available in free agency at the running back position. Wide receiver: The Panthers like the trio of Adam Thielen, Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker, but they simply aren’t good enough to contend as a starting group. The Panthers need to raise the ceiling and the oor at the position, similar to the way they double dipped on defensive linemen on Monday. The options were somewhat limited in free agency at the position, but Carolina might have some hope coming in the draft or the trade market down the line. Tight end: While Tremble is back in the mix, the Panthers have him, Ja’Tavion Sanders and Jordan Matthews as players of note at the position. Matthews, by the way, hasn’t caught a regular-season pass in several years. So, the Panthers might want to look at the free-agent or trade markets to add depth before the draft. That said, the rookie class at tight end is considered to be major strength of the incoming NFL talent. Cornerback: Jackson and Jaycee Horn make up a strong pair of starters for the secondary. However, the nickel position is a bit of a mystery with second-year DB Chau Smith-Wade currently penciled into it. The rest of the group is lled with unknowns, and the Panthers could aord to bring in a proven commodity on a one-year deal to expand the experience in the room. Insurance, especially with Horn, is necessary Inside linebacker: There isn’t much to write home about behind starters Josey Jewell and Trevin Wallace. Claudin Cherelus, last year’s third inside linebacker for much of the season, is coming o toe surgery. Special teams ace Jon Rhattigan, while strong in his role, was rarely used on defense last year. Upgrades are necessary at this position, whether in the draft or in free agency. (Update: The Panthers agreed to terms with LB Christian Rozeboom on Wednesday.) Kicker: The team signed Matthew Wright to compete this summer. But with Eddy Piñeiro likely headed elsewhere, the Panthers need to push Wright with a talented specialist. Kick/punt returner
