Not sure he's PS eligible . . . depends on how the NFL views last season.  He definitely has two accrued seasons in '15 and '16.  Last season he has three games on the active roster, but I'm not sure whether he was on the 53 for the whole season or just those three games.

I’d rather it be Jacobs if he’s on the 53. I can’t recall but I see Norris on STs making nice plays. 

I'm not so sure it shouldn't be Mayo. Damn, he has looked like straight trash. The Amini of the defense. He spends half his time on the field flat on his back just like Amini.

We're not cutting Mayo.  We tried him at outside LB, and he's not very good there.  Not sure we should be surprised.  He was never intended to be the backup there.  He's a decent backup in the middle.

 

Jermaine Carter should've been starting. He was outstanding in preseason.

Perhaps, but that's not how Ron rolls, and even though I hate it, I can't say that he's wrong. Say what you will, but Rivera has had some success doing things his way. Call it dumb luck or whatever, but when guys like Norwell, Moton, Funchess, and even Samuel (on an extremely limited sample size) come in and produce after riding the pine, then it's hard to argue with Rivera's modus operandi. I still hate it though. 

Now I will argue that if a player looks like poo for several games that Ron needs to sit their ass down and give guys with upside that are likely motivated to play an opportunity. I can't say that about Mayo. Now Torrey Smith, it's getting to that point.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
