OMFG, Rivera may be getting "it" after all this time!

[top dawg]

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.

Time to get out the ice skates. Hell has frozen over.

We do actually have a thread about this, FWIW.

[JawnyBlaze]

It also shows he’s paying attention to critics, the way he was blatantly pointing out that he was owning up to a mistake, which we all know is something he’s never done before and been called out on

But this thread title is much catchier.

Sorry! It must have been one with one of those "cute" titles!

Now that I do agree with.

Not cute, just not really clear in the thread title.

I can't believe that I was naïve enough to think that Rivera threads would disappear now that he's been gone for over a year! My bad!

[Mr. Scot]

Or is he?

 

[Ship]

Well to be fair he only had one QB in Carolina for his entire tenure soo....

[OldhamA]

Feels more like he's piling on Haskins. I interpret those comments as "I was given a 1st round QB. I gave him every opportunity to win the job. He failed me and the Washington Football Team".

Every so often a blind squirrel also finds a nut.

LOL then watch he hires Hurney I can't wait for that poo lol
