Maybe it took him being canned in Carolina, or the buck basically stopping with him in our nation's capital, but Ron Rivera seems to be admitting the fault that some of us complained about for years! I have said many times that Rivera's definition of competition was essentially a rhetorical exercise born of old school status quo notions of not rocking the boat and detrimentally catering to aging vets! Well, he may be realizing some of the errors of his ways!

 

It's fair to wonder if Washington might have fared better had Rivera given his other quarterbacks a better shot in training camp. Rivera wishes he'd done so.

"Yeah, I would have. I would have. The biggest thing I would have done is I would have created a few more opportunities mixing everybody around," Rivera said during an appearance on 106.7 The Fan. "As opposed to saying okay I'm going to stick with just the one guy and do that. I think now in retrospect, and again, hindsight in 2020, I would.

"What I'm saying is I made a mistake and I'm owning up to it and that's the truth. To put it as simple as that, that's what I'm saying. I'm just being honest."

He says that if he has an opportunity to do things differently in the future, he's going to do things differently! As the man in control, he will get that opportunity! Too bad that he didn't have this epiphany while he was here a few years back! But the past is the past. All we can do is learn from experiences in our own time.

We do actually have a thread about this, FWIW.
