So... anybody here still think Ron will eventually lead us to a Super Bowl?

Did the Seahawks win the Superbowl because they had better coaching than the Broncos? No. Coaching is important, but talent comes first.

I think that he could with more talent, but nobody could lead this team to a Superbowl without legitimate tackles, competent secondary and Hardy.

Bruce Arians marched in to SEA and beat them there. The 49ers almost had them beat until Kaep threw that INT.

Again look at our game on Sunday. We should have beaten them soundly with the way we were moving the ball. Coaching comes first otherwise you'll have all the talent in the world and not be able to use it.

Ron is a good coach.

 

That's the problem. His general coaching abilities really aren't in question.

 

It's whether or not he is ever going to be a great head coach. Some guys just make great coordinators. I really hope Ron works out here. But if that is going to happen, he needs to change, and stick with it. Stop reverting back to this play not to lose mentality when things get tough.

How he responds and how well the team is prepared Thursday will tell us all we need to know.

 

If we come out and fall flat on our faces again at home with the stakes where they are, I think you generally have your answer.

 

Ron Rivera's Carolina coaching career has absolutely nothing to do with this one game. This season may depend on the game in the eyes of a lot of Huddlers but in reality this team does not have the talent to be a playoff team this year. The fact that we aren't doing worse than we are right now is credit to Rivera. Rivera's not the problem and all this talk about "losing the locker room" is bullshit. If we had the same players as last year we'd have a shot at the Super Bowl this year. Gettleman didn't keep everybody and we weren't able to bring in many quality replacements. I'm not saying to blame Gettleman because the NFL Salary Cap is a damn fuging hard thing to understand and work. We couldn't pay guys like Mitchell and Captain what they ended up getting on the open market. Nobody ever could've foreseen the Hardy situation. With him back our team would instantly be upgraded hugely. With him or his salary back next season and some other contracts off the books we'll have room to improve. Now we won't make the playoffs this year (if we do it'll be a miracle and we should fuging bow down to Ron Rivera and Dave Gettleman), but we are set up to succeed in the long run. Many huddlers are too stupid to look at the big picture and panic at any losing record or bad play. Rivera can't help that he has 4 UDFAs starting on the o-line, that Hardy's out or that key guys have been injured.

No, the fact we aren't doing worse than we are right now is because the rest of the division is crumbling around us.

What does that have to with anything so far this year? We've only played one divisional game and that was week 1 with our backup QB.

The fact that we've managed to back into the division lead at this point  is pure luck if anything. What happens from this point forward is ultimately up to the team and coaches. As I talked about in the post above, if Rivera continues to play not to lose, we are in for a long 8 weeks.

I'm not talking about where we're ranked in the division, I'm talking about our record. With our talent I'm shocked we aren't 1-7 or 2-6 right now. To come out of the toughest stretch of our schedule and be 3-4-1 is not horrible.

If you can hang your hat on 3-4-1 with 3 blowout losses in that span then hey good for you man.

 

I'm damn sure not. We are much better than that bullshit.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
