Pretty much, or at least having to change course due to a disruption along the OL immediately. 

Yeah, I noticed. It was slo-mo trainwreck watching it. Poor soul looked like a deer in headlights, nothing like we saw last preseason. I do not even think J-Stew could have done any better. Wegher looked like D Will just before he left the Panthers...........we need Ward the punisher again to open the lanes up like Moses staff bruh

Classic Rivera. Praise folks in public, criticize in private and see things from his players point of view. Exactly why he is so loved by his players and they work their tails off for him.

Not really. Rivera is a straight shooter. For instance, said Williams has not pushed enough to compete with Remmers today. 

You thought Wegher had plenty of room to run. Ron Rivera disagrees. No biggie.

Comments like this lend evidence against the "attempting to sneak him onto the PS" theory. One would think he would be downplaying Wegher as much as possible if that were the case. 

Not Rivera's style. He doesn't lie when asked a direct question at all like some other coaches out there. He may not bring a player up on his own if he wants him under the radar, but he won't lie if asked about him.

I never said he had room to run,  I simply said he didn't play well and when he did get a shot to run or catch a pass he didn't do anything. Rivera didn't exactly say he was fine and did a great job either. I love how you like to cast things in terms of extremes whenever someone disagrees with you. No wonder folks do that on the huddle, you are their role model like all the criticism of Shula which proved to be way off base.

Didn't say he would lie, but I don't think he'd go out of his way to make excuses (even if the excuses are completely legitimate). I'd expect him to have something like "we're going to want to see him under different circumstances" or something like that. I'm not saying I know one way or the other, just that I interpret the comment to lend evidence against the "stash him" theory.

      Bryce stats past the sticks

      That's a very incorrect statement right off the bat, coaches get fired for winning ugly all the time.  Every coach of a playoff team that then gets fired, got fired because they won ugly and didn't improve their players enough to win in the postseason. Guys like Andy Reid have been fired for "winning ugly" like you said, because they kept winning in spite of the improvement of their players. Also, "this is a fanbase starved for wins" is a statement I also don't agree with, I'm not "starved for wins", I'm "starved for a winning and contending franchise" which are two VERY different things. If the team and fans just want to win some games, then that's a loser mentality, sorry, but it is.  We should want to contend, not win a handful of games.  Every time this comes up I point back to the Lions the last 5 years or so.  They were losing games but improving every week while doing so a few years back.  THAT is how you improve as a franchise and move the needle towards contending, not winning games ugly.

      this is true.  But NFL Ss and defenses are actively taking that away and playing to take them away vs most teams.  The problem thus far in BY's career......is they are cheating and not respecting the deep game which makes the smaller/mid range game harder to pull off.  and Dallas is an anomaly game.  using those random games that run counter to vast work......doesn't really change the discussion/issues in Carolina.  Bryce Young took the shots this week because they were not just NFL open but college open.    Wide open dudes downfield that really were coverage busts/issues.
