Supposing we do hire McDaniels, Caserio or both

How are you going to feel about bringing in people from"The Patriot Way" when we've bashed them as cheaters for years and years?

(heck, McDaniels was reportedly caught doing some shenanigans in Denver)

Related: Does the revelation that David Tepper is close to the Kraft family affect your opinion of him in any way?

If you're not cheating, you're not trying

There was an anecdote on Robert Mays podcast yesterday, where he said he spoke to Rivera about using technology on the sidelines, and Rivera told him he wouldn't use it, not because it wasn't effective, but because he felt it was unfair to the opposing coach and lacked integrity

Literally, Rivera refused to use technology because it was 'unfair'.  Big reason Denver knew all of our plays in the Superbowl was how naive Rivera was.

In case you dont believe it, here's the podcast

Even if we start winning like crazy?

I will leave the puppies be. 

I just can’t stomach that guy. Maybe I’m being unfair but to me everything about him screams douchebag par egg say lontz.

On top of everything else he drafted The Golden Calf of Bristol in the first. I just don’t think I’m at a meaningful risk of confronting that reality.

Yikes!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure a lot of other coaches aren't really that concerned about being fair to the opponent. The Patriots sure as hell aren't.

The general read from people is that McDaniel's was given way too much power too soon when he should have been concentrating only on coaching.

Is that true? Don't know, but if he's hired here I certainly hope it is.

You would be hard pressed to type something I disagreed with more strongly when it comes to sports. I have always found this to be a rationalization of cheaters to attempt to excuse their behavior. 

True champions do not cheat.

Period.

Having said that, I don’t disagree that if Rivera refused to use technology on the sideline that wasn’t specifically forbidden by the league, he was being naive and probably just rationalizing his own dislike of technology.

Realistically speaking, there is a certain amount of hypocrisy that comes with being a sports fan.  Your opinion of certain players and actions frequently has a lot to do with who they play for.

I suspect if this happens, we'll get the chance to see just how deep our own sports hypocrisy goes.

Well I think the pile of trophies in Foxboro disagrees with you......

The truth is, professional and revenue college sports are rife with cheating. It's no surprise, because millions and billions of dollars are at stake. It is no different than insider trading or some of the financial industry misconduct that has been exposed over the past 20 years. When that much money is involved, people will take short cuts. It is human nature.

It doesn't make it right, it just makes it what it is.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By frankw · Posted

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
