Thats pretty obviously all on Cam at this point... its no secret Cam does/did things his own way.

Rivera enabled that.

We've heard that Rivera  never allowed Newton to have "hard coaching" from Dorsey (or much of anyone). He basically made Dorsey Cam's buddy / sounding board.

I have criticisms of Ken Dorsey, but none of them relate to his performance in Carolina.

The same Rivera that suspended Cam for not wearing a suit? I find it hard to believe that RR was on the "be soft on Cam" train....

In his later seasons, yeah, especially post 2015.

And let's be real: that "suspension" was for one play.

Point being that you need to look for more than just a profile similar to McVay.

Dont let perfect be the enemy of good enough.


The only "perfect" candidate is Sean Payton and its not happening until 2024 when his contract expires in N.O. 
 

i think Ken Dorsey checks every checkbox with the information available to us.

I’ve never seen idiotic billionaires, you may not like him because he’s made some ownership mistakes but idiot lol

plenty of rich and educated fools out there. some clumsily and luckily stumble into success and some just get lucky while some are near savants in one area of expertise, but idiots in just about any other. 

it depends on the realm of knowledge. being an expert in the world of hedge funds doesn't necessarily mean you'd be an expert in running a football team anymore than fixing a lawn mower or directing a high school musical.

There's actually still quite a bit of season to go, but I'm on the "young offensive minds" subset, I'd be more interested in Ben Johnson than Dorsey.

I need to see more from Ben Johnson before jumping on that train. Still plenty of season to go. At least with Steichen he has a resume for building offenses and coaching young QBs.

    • Ill just be happy if Tepper doesnt make another locker room appearance the rest of the season. 
    • The question I wonder involves putting the cost behind us.      At this point he's here, so does the premium paid even matter anymore? It set expectations no doubt, and they weren't met.  He's been bench-worthy bad, but he's come back and looked first average, above-average to maybe great, and then downright bad again.  Now we're back on a good trend again.  Absolute rollercoaster.   So what level of performance deems him a viable option to hold?  He's looked absolutely incapable of moving an offense at times, and others like a guy you can "Purdy" with some dimes sprinkled in.     So, if he continues on this 2 game trend and shows consistent average to above-average play, we're treading into tricky territory.  Such a big investment but he tops out as a top-15/20 QB option.  It's Alex Smith KC type vibes. Are we going to be sitting at 7-10 come end of season and feel kind of meh? It's right at that fringe of what is worth it.  If he doesn't re-sh*t the bed, we may be best suited to go BPA next draft and see the 2026 progression.  And that will be the final make/break year.  What I can see if he doesn't fall apart and things look manageable: He may end up being the average precursor to finding the great talent that you can build the team around.  How Alex Smith was in KC.  They built that with him (not around him) until they eventually got Mahomes.  Heck, think back to Trent Green/Warner.  So, BY can manage, we may get some success, but if a stud comes along, we bail and roll with the new gun.    
    • We win 2 games largely due to historic rushing from our backup RB we signed in free agency and now the huddle is regarded as the most toxic place on the internet because not everyone shares the same opinion that Bryce Young has proven himself to actually be a long term starting QB yet. This place was just as ugly through the prime Cam years. People complained about him even when he was producing and we were winning the division. Things were just as ugly through the Jake years. Sometimes people would get so irate and fed up with him they would literally be calling for his head. How about we just give eviscerating one another a breather and see how this team and Bryce look on the road. Nothing anyone can say is going to make a difference until then.
