Why do you still support Ron?


Recommended Posts

I think Rivera is a genuinely good person. 

However, after 2014 it was obvious that he would waste the best years of one of the most talented athletes in professional sports. 

Andy Reid, Sean McVay and a few others I don't really want to name would have Cam Newton as the face of the NFL.

Ever since he sat Cam before a nationally televised game for not wearing a tie I have thought Ron had lost this team. 

Every offseason since I have hoped we would make a change. 

Last year everyone claimed shula was the problem, and while Norv has been pretty damn good I tried to warn you all. Shula was a symptom, Ron is the disease. He's outdated, stubborn, and horribly inconsistent with things like timeout management, team fundamentals, and frankly how prepared this team is week to week.

Ron's loyalty to both veterans and coaches has cost us years of Cam's prime. 

I like Ron Rivera as a person. But he's pretty much a slighter better John Fox at this point.

    • 3 years 81.25m with 45m guaranteed (20m in 2018 hits March 15th of 2027)  Will either be cut or extended in the 2028 off-season. 
    • Reveal- Until three weeks before his draft, I wanted Simmons >> Brown. I hate to say I didn't see his greatest flaw the first time, upon reviewing more clips and lucky listening to better scout. Simmons was shown not to enjoy contact/hitting. WHich is crazy given he played a joker type of LB and had tons of tacks and big plays. But it was there hidden in the slow mo and people that played the game, he didn't enjoy hitting. Given that's a huge part of defenders job, I dropped him from want/need list and lucky for everyone dbrown was there to be picked.  Seems he's found a role or lane he's comfy in and willing to do and it does fit him once you disregard his draft status. Who knows, he maybe the NB for evero this year. He can still become a legit starter.  
    • Joly has the one thing our current TE groups does not, really, really good hands.  Tremble has gotten better at catching, but will never have 'natural' hands.  Evans is a blocking TE that has okay hands. A passing game threat is what we thought we were getting when drafting Sanders, but have found out otherwise.  With all the TEs we have drafted over the recent years, none of them have been considered a true weapon.  That needs to change. Blocking TEs are a dime a dozen and can be had on the cheap.  The miscalculation of the front office, folly if you will, is the idea of the Swiss Army knife TE, the guy that can do everything.  It takes a real gem to find a TE that does everything and do it well, so our jack of all trades ends up elite at nothing especially the one area where we (the fans) think the weak link is--a receiving threat.
