Mularkey is a better motivator than Whiz, but taking the penalty instead of the 4th down was the wrong choice.

No it wasn't. The chances of stopping cam on 3rd and 7 are far greater then stopping him on a 4th and 2 run. Right call they didn't execute.

IIRC, we were still in the 1st half, right? Our defense was playing pretty poorly to that point.

Either way, it didn't matter as they converted anyway. At least on 4th down, they might have kicked a FG instead of getting the eventual TD.

Some credit also has to be given to Ron Rivera.Ā  He is a terrific coach.Ā  He outcoached Mularkey today pretty badly.

Rivera is a rare example in today's NFL.

Panthers ownership has let him develop. Ā Most teams today would of fired him after 2012. Ā Which as a result probably sends Cam elsewhere and slows his progress.....and we basically become the Browns. Ā Ā

Ron Rivera goes for it on 4th and short more than anyone in football.Ā  I'm sure that Mularkey knew that.Ā  It was an impossible spot.Ā  Pretty much an automatic first down.

2 chances to get a 1st down, or 1 chance?

I would've declined, but then again, I'm not a head coach.Ā

They were 1-3 to begin 2013.Ā  I wonder what it would have taken to fire Rivera.Ā  1-4?

He's improved as a HC though.Ā  I love his aggressive nature in short yardage situations.Ā  He wasn't always like that.Ā  There was a game against Atlanta, either in Newton's first or 2nd year at Atlanta where he punted on some 4th and incredibly short situation in decent field position late in the game and Atlanta came down the field and won.Ā  He'd never do that today.

Doubt Ron would have been fired before the end of the season, that's just not how our owner operates. Ron has grown by leaps and bounds, my biggest problem is his refusal to make necessary staff changes, ie ST coach.

Lol, now you're ragging on Tolbert who signed a team friendly deal to be a do everything FB with 16 TD's in 3.5 seasons?

You're a wealth of idiocy.

No. Ā I'm not ragging on Tolbert at all. Ā I just think your GM needs to make it a bigger priority to get Cam some WR's instead of 19 RB's.
