I don't think for one second Amini will start over Van Roten after the way the latter performed this entire preseason. Ron is a good coach and smarter than some of you guys credit him to be.

I hope you're right.

I don't think Ron is dumb by a longshot. He's a damn good football coach, but he has definitely shown some blind loyalty to vets in his depth chart choices in the past and that blind loyalty has been exposed several times by way of injuries forcing younger backups onto the field where they immediately showed they were simply better football players than the vets in front of them.

Richardson is gone now, if there is anybody left thats gonna hold this team back its Ron Rivera hands down.

In pass protection almost every play it looks like it’s his first time ever playing football. He seriously looks like he has no idea what  to do or who to block. And god forbid if the other team runs a stunt.

Amini can’t handle a DT that bull rushes  he just gets run over and considering he’s 300+ That’s pretty pitiful  dude has no balance or leverage    If he just wouldn’t get decleated and laid at cams feet it would be a positive play on his behalf 

How he continues to start is amazing. Van Roten looked like the next white buffalo. And RRs gonna bench him. Smdh 

 

    We all know Aminis' skill set. No need to rehash all that. It is depressing enough.

 

    Also, you have no proof that Coach is going to start Amini when he comes back. I wish folks would stop projecting there fears into this situation.

 

    Van Rotten looked good. There is every chance he starts.

    Now to be fair. Most Coaches are the same way. Kids make more mistakes than vets. Coaches hate mistakes. Ergo. most Coaches play their vets. 

 

    Van Rotten has looked good. Here's to hoping the universe sees it that way as well. 39 or so more hours until we find out.

Even the best coaches have flaws (Belichick often does things out of spite, which is dumb).  Unfortunately, this is one of Rivera's.

Flaws can be overcome.  Whether or not this one will be remains to be seen.

Take a few days break from here and when you return its noticable dumber. It's quite impressive. 

Stupid is popular....go figure.

 

    You have that passive aggressive shtick down as well. You sure are multi talented. You go boy.

Lol....hey, i wanna say Ron is great and is truly a top coach in this league.....But after 7 seasons i just dont see it and its plenty of more reasons outside of choosing to play shitty vets over more talented players.

To be fair, it's true.  Might actually say more about his interviewing skills than his coaching.

Rivera's biggest flaws to me don't revolve around Xs and Os.  It's people related judgments, i.e. player evaluation, depth chart setting, assistant coach choices (and unfortunate loyalty), etc.

As mentioned previously though, I couldn't name a flawless NFL coach.  They all have their strengths and weaknesses.  And just like it isn't "hateful" to accept there are things Newton needs to work on, you can acknowledge Rivera's flaws without it being personal.

    The tone in your comments would suggest otherwise. If you would have used this post first. I probably would have not even responded.

Additional context: What Rivera was asked when he gave the answer about Silatlu and Van Roten.

    There is a difference between your post. Where you at least qualified your stance. And @CPF4LIFE throwing out his hot takes.

 

    Explain your point of view, and we can debate it. Throwing out hot takes, does not lend itself to discussion. To wit. I explained myself you you. But I hot taked his hot take.
