AP Article Sounds like Major Desention among the team

[davos]

The mood in the locker room on a team that's won 9 games in the past 3 years isn't the best.

I have to say, I'm gonna need some time to take all this in.

17-38 since the Delhomme implosion with more than half of those wins coming from Tommy John Jake and Matt Moore

That's where it all began spiraling and when we should have cleaned house to begin with.

There's no use in looking to the past like this but damnn

So we need to make a game out of this. Like a lottery for what time the news comes out that chud is fired then antother for riveria.

(i would rather make fun of this than cry about it)

It was about this time last year if I remember right, that once it became apparent that the season would not result in playoffs, and was for the most part over, Rivera mentioned how the remaining games would be "evaluations" for who wants to be here next year.

We still have basically the same team from last year with a few changes, and guys should really be worried that they're really going to be evaluated this year?

Double secret evaluation this time!

The read option is a good play and should not be removed from our offense, but come on. Seems like every time we ran the ball it was the read option. It is a slow developing play. Teams are clogging it up and it is easy to stop. There is a reason why this type of running game is not a typical running style in the NFL.

Put us in the "I" and run it. Play action off it. Throw the read option in there just to keep them honest.

We have the talent.

Honestly, I think it would be more effective if we had more quick passes out of the read option. Essentially, a play action read option. I wonder if Cams decision making isn't as quick as it needs to be.. he does hang on to the ball too long on many occasions.

Yeah the locker room is perfectly fine. They all love Chud and his playcalling and think the world of Rivera. All is fine in Panther Land.

The next few weeks will be interesting

There was some improvement last week. I saw a couple of quick passes out of the read option and Cam seemed to be getting the ball out quicker.

[raleigh-panther]

Yes, the slant pass I have been screaming for 2 years finally arrived.

amazing, simply amazing.

[FastNFurious]

Guess we will see how "disfunctional"the team is when they travel to Chicago and play a very good Bears team....

Like Washington? Like we did more often last year?

Henwas given shorter routes against Dallas and if his WRs held up their end of the bargain Cam would have had a nice day

Maybe you should work on learning how to spell the word "dissention" , before you go public with your feelings. No wonder people think Panther fans are a bunch of stupid hicks.

Rivera: More changes could be coming in Carolina

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/Rivera-More-changes-could-be-coming-in-Carolina-30765716

Rivera said Carolina's final 10 games are ''an evaluation process'' and he hasn't ruled out firing assistant coaches or cutting players for underperforming.

''In a situation like this is, when action is being taken, it doesn't mean the action has stopped,'' Rivera said. ''By no means is it over.''

Rivera knows the evaluation process applies to him as well.

Rivera's seat got a little hotter Monday when Hurney, the man who hired him in 2011, was fired. New general managers tend to like to hire their own coaches and in some cases that person is one in the same.

The underachieving Panthers are 1-5 this season entering Sunday's game at Chicago and just 7-22 in two years under Rivera. The 50-year-old Rivera is in the second year of a four-year contract.

When asked about the running game, quarterback Cam Newton said ''I'm not the offensive coordinator. ...

''We haven't had it exciting like we want it to be but we still have to call the plays. It's kind of put a strangle on our passing game. We have to be more balanced.''

As for his own future with the Panthers, Rivera views every day as a fight to keep his job.

Doesn't sound like "alls well" within the team. When the owner says that his team lacks a clear leader..... Players start calling out coaches.... Head Coach telling coaches and players they could be cut any day.......In fact, if I read between the lines at what Cam said, I'd almost think that he's written off the year!

Shh.. first rule of Double Secret Evaluation is.. not to talk about Double Secret Evaluation.
