I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

[csx]

That game came down to 4 plays. Not some master strategy.

2 fumbles an interception and 1 Cotchery call.

To the OP's credit, Ron Rivera, imo, used Cam at times like a fullback.  The fact that he never had back-to-back winning seasons with a stud QB says a lot.  The OL was an afterthought.  Cam saved RR's job many times.  RR was NFC coach of the year twice during that time, but he never earned it.  I wish we had kept Fox.  He got it.  Never had a great QB and won more.

Cam wanted the ball on the Goal line. Yet somehow Rivera gets the blame. 

Sorry- that gets old. 

I knew from the moment we drafted Cam he was going to have a short career.  It's his playing style and willingness to put his body on the line.

I held a similar opinion, ie he was gonna play how he wanted to play. So that’s the offense you end up with. 

Even if you would rather take a more traditional approach it would hard because, he was going to play how he wanted to play. 
 

 I thought he saw himself as the number one weapon. Did I want a more diverse attack with more pocket passes and less running and option type plays? Yep. 
 

Chudzinski’s 2nd year here I thought he was getting too cute and chasing a HC job, which he got, but I would like to have seen him committed to running an offense he built around Cam. 
 

I think we missed out on that type of opportunity, getting Shula.  But one thing about him, Ron didn’t have to worry about losing his OC every couple of years to a HC job. Lol.
