Can we ever become a great team with Rivera at the helm

Having a great coach I believe is just as important as having a great QB to attaining consistent success (save someone like Peyton Manning who could win with me at HC). The teams that are consistently good all have outstanding coaches, guys like the Harbaugh brothers, Pete Carroll, Bill Belicheck. And while all these guys have very good or even great QB's you just feel different about them, like they have their poo together. I've never had that feeling with Rivera even last year. Obviously there is also a lot of extenuating circumstances given the cap hell Marty Hurney left us in and the roster not being up to snuff in a lot of areas, but I don't think I ever remember us getting blown out that bad this many times in a season under John Foxx (who is also just a guy). And I think I have to attribute a lot of that to the coaching staff and their inability to adapt.

I am beginning to doubt. We can't use that talent excuse. I mean GB took us apart basically with Rodgers, Nelson and Cobb. What talent does NE have? No team is going to have probowlers are every position. Having Cam, Olsen and KB should be enought to give us an opportuinty to win.

 

In any case, the coaches also pick the talent that make the team so there's that.

Who knows.

 

I really like Ron, but the biggest thing I was worried about with him after the extension was him getting too comfortable again. About the only time we see Riverboat Ron anymore is when he is wasting a timeout on a stupid challenge that we clearly aren't going to win anyway.

No!

 

Rivera's too loose a coach in so many ways.

 

He's bad at time management. He's usually not aggressive enough. Plays for FG too much, even when he shouldn't. Team seems undisciplined this year. Though he's a defensive coach, his teams have had way too many game losing lapses; if not outright bad, such as 2011 and 2014. He usually doesn't make the tough decisions with staff. And it goes on and on.

 

Once again; no!

Look at the Cowboys. They aren't that much more talented than they were last year when their defense was horrendous. Obviously they got a new coordinator in there and Garrett doesn't have his hands on his defense, but it shows you don't need top flight talent everywhere to succeed. Defense is suppose to be Riveras bread and better and I would like to think we have more talent on defense than Dallas (obviously their run game helps in terms of defense), yet we can't even be average. Hardy is a great player, but one guy doesn't suddenly make you a bottom 5 defense.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
