If Rivera is as good as a defense coach as everyone says he was when he got here, he should be the one making the most out of nothing instead of Cam. Every off season we make moves to insure the defense is tops in the league. Rivera should be able to take players with low value and coach them up in to solid contributers for us. That should be his contribution to this team, he if anything Luke really masks how overrated this defense has been for a while. Im started really question what Rivera really even does for this team outside of being a Players/motivational coach.

I somewhat agree. The problem with the defense this year, in my opinion was Wilks. Wilks is a helluva coach however his own pride was his downfall in many situations this year including this game today. 

Wilks coached the secondary last year. A group of guys he took pride in growing and molding. Unfortunately, his overconfidence in that group really hurt as a total defense this year. The amount of blitzing he did this year was due to an inflated (and off base) confidence in a group he made. 

I think Wilks will be a good Coach if given the chance and honestly I’d like to see him back with Bradberry and Worley going into year three and hopefully a revamped safety position. If he could garner better play out of his secondary, I think he can lead this defense to a top ten finish.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
