What are some positives to come out of the Tepper era?

Check back in another 20 years, it may take that long to see any positives at this rate beyond his early pandering to the fans with the logo at mid field and the practice bubble.

 

i'll be in my 70's by then. i'm guessing i won't care too much at that point. hopefully there will have been a owner change by then and we've won a championship or two.

We didn’t wait 7 years too late to fire Ron. Ron had a decent run.   Then it came to a close.  Like Foxy.  

Disagree. I wanted him gone after his second year. With a decent coach (and OC) I’m confident we not only would have won the ‘15 Super Bowl, but would have had a run of competitive years instead of just once every two or three years.

This I agree with.

I'd take Rivera over Rhule 100 out of 100 times.

Sure, but Rivera was a bum that wouldn’t have won poo without Cam. We saw what he was capable of once Cam got hurt and what he’s doing in Washington. I’m not glad we got Rhule, but I’m glad we got rid of Rivera. Tepper took a swing and missed. Hopefully his next swing will be more informed and work out better.

He then went on to the playoffs 4 out of 5 seasons.  3 straight NFCS titles and had a Super Bowl team.  

what are the odds you fire Ron after 2 seasons and someone does better than that? 

Ron at least drafted a raw and unique QB and the team did stuff no one was doing.   So we took some lumps early and finished strong each year. Which is why he deserved to stay unlike Rhule 

I’ll gladly take another Ron run.   To win a Super Bowl requires the ball bouncing your way.  Getting calls.  Etc.   But Ron had a good run.   Best team in the NFL in 2015.  Just didn’t get the one that matters most. 

Ron was a Cam guy.  Only NFL coach who has been.  I don’t think you can say a new coach would have had the same type 2015 Ron did.  Doesn’t work that way.  Ron let Cam be Cam.   Which had its flaws.  But Ron let him be special and welcomed it.

Rivera worked well with Gettleman. Once Hurney was back in, it all went downhill.

He had a ceiling as a coach that he wasn't likely to get past. I don't doubt that parting ways with him was the right move.

I also don't doubt that if I had to choose between him and Matt Rhule, I'd take Rivera every time.

For whatever his limitations, Ron Rivera was at least an NFL coach.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
