..It just lacks the right leadership to guide it. We've seen it all season long. Honestly it's frustrating to see. 

Clearly Rivera is just not the long term answer. You get a Coach that can lead these men and bring the right system and bring out the best in them, you got a contender for years to come. 

 

The Rivera Era is over.

I can agree with this and I've been one of Ron's supporters but I think it's time

Not sure I agree. We have 1 starting caliber WR, a 50 year old TE, and a horrendous OL. 
 

Now to the Defense....

-Both safeties can’t cover

- Jackson is questionable as a starter in this league

-Luke is getting older

-Shaq is not worth what he will cost

- The ENTIRE DL can’t stop the run or get to the QB

 

What coach can do anything with that?

Olsen and Boston have had a good season.

Jackson is inconsistent, but more good than bad.

Guess who came up with the design and placement of those players?  

ooo ooo and who calls the plays?

Who readies the team for opponents?

Who gets the team mentally prepared?

Who evaluates on field play and is in charge of making adjustments?

When your coach fails at all that, what player can succeed?  Its not like Luke looks human or anything?

    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
    • Theilen is about to retire. I dont care about him sticking around. Lets say you did and he retires at the end of the year. Now that connection is gone next year and it's just another excuse for regression that was just held off. 
    • Short term is the key point. Those first two games without him where pretty bad. They still aren't back to where they were offensively but they are getting better. Hopefully Tet continues to improve and Coker eventually returns - and stays healthy.
