I know everyone wants Ron gone but what advantages are really gained by doing it quickly? 

It’s not like we are going to hire his replacement anytime soon.

Who would be the interim coach? Turner?

What if he goes on a winning streak and the players start to campaign to keep him? 
 

What’s  our best chance for good draft picks? 
 

Ddon’t get me wrong, I’m ready for a change also.  I’m just not sure there are real advantages to making a move now as opposed to the end of the season.

None. Beleive it or not, Rivera is highly respected in this league and will one day be a hall of famer. Firing him now would show disrespect and has zero benefit anyway because all of the good prospects will be with their current teams through the playoffs anyway. Why would a respected prospect want to coach for us if we fired a respected man 5 games early for no reason. Of course i dont expect logic from the huddle though, especially after a loss. Lol

Just curious about the future hall of fame comment. Are you saying Ron Rivera is going into the NFL pro football hall of fame as a coach?

The peace of mind it would give the entire fanbase to know there's not the miracle million-to-one chance that "Super Genius" Tepper will keep his good buddy Ron for another year.

THAT'S the advantage.

Its a firm statement that the organization is tired of moving backwards so they feel like they have to take an immediate step to stop the "bleeding".

Hall of Famer? For what? 

To be fair, he probably could be in the HOF of wasting generational talents.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
