Did Rivera try and trade the Panthers first round pick last year for Trent Williams?

Does Ron know this because he was the one offering the first round pick? 

It also means Washington turned down a first rounder only to later settle for a 4th and future 3rd. 

Ron Rivera and Dan Snyder are a match made in heaven.

What an idiot. Why would you admit to this after being forced to trade the guy for peanuts in comparison to that?

Because Rivera gonna Rivera. I really wish he would trade next years 1st for Marty Hurney.

It's possible, but it's also likely that he, now being the head coach, was informed of past recent history of the team he's coaching.

That might be the last time that happens. The last thing decision makers need is for their new coach to make them look like even bigger dumbasses by unnecessarily highlighting previous mistakes.

So glad we fired him. My god what a horrible coach.

I wouldn't go so far as to say Rivera was a horrible coach, but it's clear Tepper made the correct call in giving Riverboat his walking papers. The more I'm seeing and hearing, Rivera was more of problem here than Hurney.

My exact sentiment, which is why I figured he must have been the one who offered the 1st rounder.

If team executives tell you, "hey we turned down a killer deal for a player we just traded for peanuts", i'd imagine they would want to keep that kind of stuff in house.

The trade for Okung also proves the Panthers were in the market for a LT but didn't want to give up draft capital.

This means Hurney offered it. Stfu

That decision maker isn’t there. Allen was already fired. Pretty sure there is no GM there now so he’s not pissing anyone off.

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.

      I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
