Nfl Head Coach Power Rankings (Rivera At #16)

Interesting read. It shows that Rivera has a lot of respect to have him rated at #16 after his rookie campaign already & a 6-10 record. They see the organization heading in the right direction...like us.

"16. Ron Rivera, Carolina Panthers: Don’t let the 6-10 record fool you. Rivera had two goals to accomplish during a 2012 regular season that saw his defense get decimated by the injury bug: develop rookie quarterback Cam Newton and show the Carolina fan base that this organization is headed in the right direction. Mission accomplished."

Shannahan needs to be lower on the list.

This list is bad btw

Some of it makes sense, some doesn't (like most things in life). My take away is the level of respect Rivera is getting already. I think people like his style & feel that he will be very good.

Everyone also needs to give credit to how much Chud's offense made Rivera look better as well.

Additionally, on Chud, Cam would not have looked like the same rookie in nearly any other offense in the league. We all have to give props to Chud & I'm glad he didn't leave for a HC job.

They put him basically where he belongs, playoffs and he should crack top 10. Deep run maybe top 5? John Fox is where he belongs, HC get all the credit and blame with Peyton Manning at QB now could stay basically where he is or better if they make a playoff push.

Why is anyone surprised at Fox being so high? He did a good job for the most part in Carolina, but the franchise got stuck in a loop of mediocrity. It's funny, now that he's gone both he and Hurney have franchise QBs, when they never did while they worked together.

I expect pretty good things out of Denver, and I hope that Hurney did as well with the Rivera pick as he did initially with Fox. So far, it looks good. :)

i wouldn't really call peyton a franchise QB in denver. he's a journeyman now. he's got maybe 2-3 years left? just not what i would call a franchise QB. probably just the way i understand a franchise QB, tho.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
