I prefer Rivera by a lot.  

Which is more of an indictment of Fox. 

 

These other guys could have been our coach too. Woof.

Rivera was one of four defensive coordinators to be interviewed by general manager Marty Hurney and team president Danny Morrison last week. The others -- Perry Fewell of the New York Giants, San Francisco's Greg Manusky and Rob Ryan of Cleveland -- were not asked in for second interviews.

Fox 3 playoff appearances, Super Bowl appearance. Super Bowl blown by botched kickoff,... no back to back playoffs, last playoff blowout blamed on quarterback but Arizona spoke of failures for us to adjust on offense and defense. Kept it vanilla.

Ron 3 playoff appearances, Super Bowl appearance. Super Bowl blown because of failure to adjust to opposing teams defense. 

That's tough,... good enough to motivate team to playoffs occasionally,... but screws the pooch and goes Marty Ball when it matters?

Elway hit the button because Fox couldn't get there with a top 5 HoF quarterback on his last season or 2 and star defense,..

Rivera,.... hummm we have no Elway at the helm,... what if Elway was here, would Rivera be?

Right now I've got no love for either.

Fox was stale. Rivera scared. Both results in lack of success.

I think to a large degree they are indentical. 

Rivera just has a Riverboat switch which takes a painful amount of time to hit.  Ron also is willing to embrace things Fox wouldn’t IMO.  

But their game management is nearly indentical until Riverboat is forced to come out

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
