Winners and Losers from the Lions Game

Recommended Posts

Here are the winners and losers as I see it yesterday....

TLDR

Winners - Cam and DJ Moore

Losers - Funchess, Gano, Ron Rivera

 

 

I am no longer throwing Washington in the mix. At this point it is Ron Rivera's fault for not taking over as Washington is obviously not up to the task.

 

Who would you add to these lists?

Next week - and every week thereafter - is the season for us.  We can still win out and be fine.  However, it's long been bandied about that Ron Rivera teams are at their best late in the season.  If this team bucks that trend, then I think Tepper will be more than justified in making a change this off season.

It's beginning to look like Rivera has lost the team.

Maybe Ron will have enough sense to play Moore/Curtis over Funchess after this disaster.    Gano could be just streaky, made so many in a row including the improbable game winner, then he got into a slump somehow.     What pisses me off is how depleted was Detroit and we played them with one hand tied the whole game just giving the thing away.

Loser: Cam Newton

Because putting the team on your back and delivering a MVP worthy performance only to be let down by your coach and “N1” WR and then be thrown under the bus by said coach and ridiculed by the teams fan base. 

Yep

    • There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring. 
    • I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
