Who's the villain in the story?

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

You really think you could make any sort of argument for Gettleman here?

I included both Gettleman and Hurney to be thorough, but I think the arguments against either one are pretty weak.

Yes for dismantling the team that went to the superbowl

To answer your question its Rivera for sticking with Shula so long

I like this answer---but I give Rivera blame for other reasons.

Everyone on the list had a hand in Newton's demise (including Newton himself) except for the new staff.  They inherited this mess.  

How does Matt Rhule and Joe Brady fit in this. They just had gotten here so these 2 can't possibly be part of the list.

Hurney/Gettleman/Rivera get the most blame

Tepper some

Cam a little (the hiding injuries, etc.)

 

It's been a clusterfug ever since the Chargers interception and Kelvin Benjamin's lazy ass.

Allowing the likes of Remmers, Bell, and Kalil to protect Newton's blindside seems like a reason to me.  I think he's got as good of an argument as anyone on that list not named Ron Rivera.

As a matter of fact where is Mike Shula?  He's the #1 culprit now that I think about it.  Crappy scheme, asking our QB to hold the ball for years behind a shoddy offensive line.

I blame Obama.

And I don't even know why Richardson is included.

Same reason Hurney and Gettleman were, to be thorough.

I don't think any of those three could really be held responsible but some probably will.

Everyone and no one is the villain

Blaming Shula is ultimately blaming Rivera.

I said except for the new staff!  They are part of the new staff.

[WOW!!]

Yeah Gettelmen catches some blame for trying 2 position group rebuilds after successful seasons..

2014 let the whole WR group go and his faith with (Bell and Chandler) OT combo ..

2016 Egoed himself into having to rebuild the secondary after a Superbowl run...

Needing to name a villain is a dramatized view of something that doesn't need to be.
