I've been thinking of this and imagine Rivera with a competent GM, he never really had one here. The closest was Gettleman and that's a stretch but he still basically won with him as the GM. 

Eh, Rivera had plenty of weaknesses. He's like an Alex Smith of coaches, decent enough to maybe get you somewhere with absolute perfection around him (a la Ron in 2013 and 2015) but not good enough to win many games on his own/elevate a team.

He is better in every aspect than Rhule, but his time here was done. I wish Tepper would hire someone competent to run football operations and let him run it. 

I whish we still had RON RIVERA. He is way way way better than this Clown circus we have NOW.

I think that this is the year that he and Rhule both have to make things happen or they'll both find themselves looking for another job. Year three is a crucial "prove it" year for coaches. (Actually in it is for players too) Rivera is ahead of Rhule, but he's also got a poo ton more experience so he should be.

I'm beginning to think of the trio, Tepper was the worst.

Never let yourself forget the atrocity that is Marty Hurney.

No one person has had more influence over the quality of this team than Marty.  Most every bonehead decision prior to Tepper can be traced to Marty.

Hes the worst, was always the worst, will always be the worst.

There's a part of me that's always going to wonder how things would have played out if Tepper had done the right thing and fired Marty first.

(I know we're already talking in another thread haha)

But Rivera with Fitterer would've been pretty damn great now that you mention it.

my guess is Ron still gets fired and good chance we still end up with Rhule.

What do you think would have happened?

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
