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.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
