Just Remember JR was the one that wanted to keep Rivera.

We might have been the ones with Chip Kelly if not for JRs move to keep Rivera under all circumstances even if he was part of the old Hurney system that did not work. Now we are setting out yet another season lookng to the draft and hoping at some point the nightmare of Rivera's coach career to be over. There was a reason no one wanted him as a HC and there is a reason we are still sub .500 most seasons. JR needs to let DG take control with his own plan and see where it leads us because we are going no where like we are.

Dave has taken control.....

Gross, 89, the over emphasis on DL while neglecting the rest.........Dave is in control.

 

It could be a ploy to tank the season and fire Rivera. Who knows? All I know is Rivera does not help himself out much on game day.

Gettleman did not have any input on the decision to retain Rivera. In fact, the two men never met until last week.

 

It was on Gettleman for extending him, but we had just won 12 games.  Couldn't have seemed like such a bad idea at the time.

Gettleman was the GM for an entire year before Rivera signed his 3 year extension was he not?

Well like I said, that year we won 12 games.  He obviously didn't want to have another Fox scenario of the "lame duck coach".  I'm not saying it was the right move, especially in hindsight, but it's not a decision I would hold against him.  The logic is there.  He didn't have a choice initially.  Ron should have been fired after the same year Hurney was and Gettleman should have been allowed to choose a coach.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
