too many drops bench him

I know its sarcasm, but I dont understand why they wouldn't keep forcing him the ball when he can make catches like he did between the best two defenders the seahawks had.

He drops the easy ones, but catches the holy poo ones. How about you throw some more holy poo passes at him and let kb do his thing...

One thing I am beginning to realize as a new fan is that Rivera seems risk averse to a fault. He won't even consider doing anything outside of the box unless he's desperate.

I think it's petty and stupid to judge Ron for sitting the rookie out ONE play. It comes off like you are trying to protect your BFF. Kelvin can handle it.

 

I think the problem many of the people speaking out about this have is not the fact that he "benched" Kelvin, but the fact that this sort of thing has been an all too much recurring theme with Rivera as a head coach and how he handles accountability. It's time for him to accept blame.

I have no idea what Kelvin was benched for. Do you?

He is risk adverse when he is not feeling pressure.  Starting to feel pressure now and his alter ego "Riverboat Ron'' will come save the day.

That is a terrible way to coach. But how many years can this happen before he gets a boot?

 

Depends on how successful we are when he turns back into Riverboat

 

If we are deep playoff run /championship game level.. he can do it for a long time.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.
