“Riverboat” Ron Rivera plays it safe yet again.

It is truly time to stop calling Ron Rivera “Riverboat Ron”. He is by nature not a risk taker, as we all knew from day 1. He constantly played it safe and bet against himself on game day time and time again. Until his job was on the line, then he started taking risks. What a surprise.

Then he lost his job. And what does he turn around and do? He takes the only other open job at the time, on a team in the worst division in the NFL, in one of the closest cities to where he coached the last decade. Classic Ron. Plays it safe yet again. Could have waited and seen if there was a better team, in a more challenging division, but this was too comfortable and easy to pass up.

Washington can have him. Ron is a good man, but a thoroughly average coach. He couldn’t win a Super Bowl with Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly quarterbacking his team. He is not going to win one in Washington either. Happy Trails Ron.

Seemed like Rivera and Gettleman worked well together so I was expecting him to take that job. 

They were a classic good cop bad cop setup. Probably why they hated each other. Would make for a great sitcom.

    • Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.  
    • I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.  
    • Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
