So if other dude wanted to remain the coordinator he would have, nice. Rivera continues to show he is always ok with status quo.

 

Come on man. DeHaven didn't say "Rivera only wanted to promote me if Rodgers was okay with it" he said HE would only take it if Rodgers was okay with it. Got nothing to do with Rivera. Why don't you and CRA go join a damn book club together.

Rivera has proven time and time again that he is ok with being status quo that part is not a lie or anything new. Maybe he would have been replaced anyways still it all goes back to "not wanting to hurt anyones feelings" which is something that has been a.problem with this organization for awhile. G-Man is the only exception.

Please show me some evidence that would PROVE that he is okay with the status quo.

Ok let's start with Byron Bell. Byron was garbage on the right side but was then placed on the left side because he's left handed and started the entire season at LT. Haruki Nakamura was our starting safety for WAY to long in 2011. It was obvious Chud was running the read option into the ground in 2012 yet there were no changes made until the season was already lost. I mean come on dude there is a ton of evidence which is why his teams always suck to start the the year off (only exception was last year when we started 2-0 then proceeded to suck for 2 months straight) he waits to long to make adjustments resulting in him being ok with "status quo."

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
