Interesting link RE: Rivera

Another note Id like to know, people talk about the points per game, how many were actually given up by the D, and how many were given up per special teams???

...and not just points, but how many times did the Charges special teams put the defense in poor position.

Eh. People are overrating him here. He was good, but he had our LB/DL/DB coaches to work with. Chargers weren't exactly that good on D when Cottrell was on board and Rivera was LB coach.

Come on people, get a grip. He's not as good as everyone make him out to be. Let's see how he fares with Carolina. Fox couldn't do it and to them, he was a defensive genius.

Fox is a defensive genius?

ya know man, its not in the grammar either. It's the ideals of most of them, whether its making up their own ideas of what a player is like or if so and so is a bust. It's frustrating and Im guessing most of the more rational just remain quiet.

right on point.. but I'm must not be all too rational...

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.
    • So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?
    • OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
