Barring another injury this year, you fuckers aren’t getting off the hook with Brees for at least another year.

There’s enough QB-starved teams out there that Teddy’s not coming back.

I assume he's going to want to outlast Brady because if I were him, I would want to go to whatever age Brady goes to, and Brady is a couple of years older than Brees. Brees doesn't have all the rings Brady has, so if he wants to be the GOAT, he'll need to have a year or two without Brady to claim all the records for himself.

ANIME IS FOR ADULTS
Cam has a year left on his deal. Why would we cut him? He is cheap to keep and should be 100% healthy next year. Do we think he is soured on the team? Panthers have really worked hard to get him protection and weapons the past few years. They haven’t all worked out (Matt Kalil), but CMC, Samuel, Moton, DJ Moore, and Greg Little were all 1st and 2nd rounders, and Paradis was our big free agent signing this past year. Norv’s offense also was meant to get the ball out faster and let playmakers make plays instead of relying on Cam. So it isn’t like the Panthers have continued to gently caress with Cam’s career.

But probably too little too late at this point since he hasn’t been healthy since 2016.

If you're rebuilding, do it with a new HC.

Ron Rivera is the coach that coaches to consistently beat bad to average teams, and can't beat anyone competent that actually prepares for the Panthers. He got a couple of Ws over good teams thanks to Cam in spite of coaching.

I hope the Saints are still fighting for playoff seeding so Payton can embarass him and force Teppers hand at end of season.

Ron Rivera ain't a bad HC. Is it time to move on? Maybe, I dunno, but he deserves another job if he wants it.

Rivera's baby is the defense, and every single thing I've ever read about him complements how insanely well the team executes his defense. It is a completely boring, unimaginative defense that relies on winning one on one battles and having one of the three best linebackers in nfl history, but it's incredibly well coached and executed.

The problem with Rivera is how he approaches the game from the other side of the ball. He sees the offense as a compliment to the defense and a way to keep his defenders off the field and rested. he wants to control the clock, be in third and manageable, etc. The offensive game has passed him by and he refuses to adjust to it.

There are several examples of this. When Ron was a player, a two TD lead in the third quarter was basically game over. QBs weren't good enough yet and defenses could just murder people and it made throwing the ball to come back just not worth it. There was a gentleman's agreement in this era where if you got up like that, both teams would just run out the clock and that would be it. Ron still approaches football like this and it's infuriating. Every single Panther fan will tell you Ron refuses to put teams away. He is fine with a three and out and a punt if it takes 2:00 off the clock in the third quarter. He wants his defenses to win games in the late third and fourth quarter, instead of just playing keep away with his offense.

And I don't need to tell you guys that the nfl has been nerfing defense for over a decade, and all the power now rests with the offense. He's just incredibly resistant to change in this regard.

I don't trust Ron rivera to build another offensive philosophy. He doesn't understand the other side of the ball and has proven he never will. It has nothing to do with the individual players. It's just Ron's approach to the game that infects the offensive side of the ball and poisons everything.

Is it fair to say that the only real difference between John Fox and Rivera is that Rivera has had better talent than Fox did? My memory may be leaving out details, but thinking back to the Fox years, it doesn't seem THAT different from now. I even feel like I get frustrated at Rivera's Panthers in almost the same way I did with Fox's.

If Brady retires this year (I assume in shame after getting blown out by the Saints in the Super Bowl), and Brees plays another couple years, he'll have like all the good QB records to himself for a while.

Ron has his issues for sure, but he's not as bad as Fox when it comes to playing conservative and nursing a lead and refusing to start young players. I know it's become a bit of a joke but Riverboat Ron became a thing for a reason.

Records are good but I think your average person is swayed by championships especially for a marquee, team face player.

That said of course I want Drew to be in contention for GOAT and ideally if he could have a 9 touchdown game on the seahawks so it becomes impossible to play the beastmode game without that queued up with it thatd be great.

If we're exorcising some bad-loss demons, the best playoff run would be Brees dominating the Seahawks, 49ers, Vikings and then Jags in the Super Bowl.

Riverboat Ron came from a sarcastic name because the Panthers had a ton of games where they punted from the 45, refused to go for it in fourth and goal from the 1, etc and writers like Bill Barnwell kept mocking them for it. Someone on Rivera's staff showed him the articles and he listened and went for it and had great success because Cam Newton is pretty good at rushing for 1 yard and they started sarcastically referring to him by that name.

And when Ron would sit on a lead but go down late in the 4th, Cam got to run a no-huddle offense and he was pretty dang good at it.

Thats like half of Drew's seasons, though. Also Paytons coaching record is basically do three years getting either 11 or 13 wins, slam back to 7-9 for a few seasons, repeat.

I think Ron does a pretty okay job at finding decent people to work for him and letting them do their thing. I definitely would not put him in the lower tier of coaches, just comfortably in the middle, maybe a bit above average.

The bigger issue is having a new owner and that new owner wanting to take a more actively involved role with the team. Pretty much the first step of that would be bringing in your own people, which is why the decision could already be made at this moment. The whole missing the playoffs thing is a good rationale but it's more about the future of the team

He is, but still less so than Fox who would have punted in pretty much every one of those situations, and continued doing so, forever, no matter how much evidence he was presented.
