Coach, put it in my hands

“He’ll come up and say, ‘Coach, put it in my hands, Coach. Trust me,’” Rivera said, via Bill Voth of the team’s official website. “It goes back to a little something I learned from Michael Jordan when we were in Chicago. Michael used to say, ‘Certain guys want the ball when it’s crunch-time. Other guys just don’t seem to come off the picks the way they’re supposed to.’ I’ve told that to Cam, and Cam has always wanted the ball.” - https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/10/22/ron-rivera-sees-michael-jordan-traits-in-cam-newton/

Why is Newton having to beg the coaches to trust him? These statements seem to support the idea the coaching staff isn't putting enough trust in Newton early on in games, and only turning it over to him when all else has failed.  I don't understand this, especially with the 4th quarter results against WAS and PHI.

Simple, Because Ron coaches scared unless his seat is melting hot.

Way to take praise from Rivera about Cam and turn it into a negative against Rivera to fit a narrative.

So now the narrative is, Ron doesn't trust Cam. 

What poo are y'all going to make up next?

If we can somehow win 10-6 then Ron gets all of the credit. If we win 35-31 then everybody knows who is the hero. 

Why does one person have to get all the credit? why can't multiple people get credit? considering its a team sport and all?

Are we really insinuating that Ron Rivera trusts Heinecke over Newton?

Ugh. Huddle staaaahp.

Same thought.  Throughout the game you can always find someone(offense or defense) who made an impactful play to change the momentum or attitude.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
