Post your reasons for optimism from a coaching standpoint here.

As my screen name suggest, me being a native of Charlotte and my love of Football means I'm not going anywhere so spare me the bandwagon poo. Seems like all of a sudden I have become a villain for pointing out some uncomfortng things about Rivera.

I made this revelation earlier and posted it in another thread but wanted to make sure everyone was aware of it. fug me..I have been one of his biggest supporters and won't throw in towel this early but motherfuger Rivera...get your poo together!

We beat 5 unique teams last year. The buc's(fired Raheem Morris). The Colt's(fired Jim Caldwell) The Jag's(fired Del Rio)

We did manage to beat Shannahan(started John Beck who went 0-4 last year). and Kubiak(T.J Yates started) last year.

Then this year we beat the saints with their third string coach.

I come here to talk football and hear other views. Anybody have a more positive outlook on him than I currently do (without making personnel excuses)??

first, people are emotional. The "which coaches did they beat" bit is an anecdote.

Second, people think that being some slobbering, spitting, out of control jackass is going to make things better when things aren't going right. It's not. Rivera may be too stoic, but that's about the least relevant thing about coaching, and it's the one that people focus on the most.

I like how this team is built. Maybe it does or doesn't work out, but this is the way I'd build my team with their O and D schemes. I like the design of this team. It's another place that fans, and the teams, can over-react - giving you a worse fit in coaching because the philosophy is different.

Right now, I have a couple concerns - his game management (positive spin, he's young at this), his strength being defense I'd want to see major improvement from where things are right now.

More than anything, this is week 3 and it's awful to demand change right now or give up on a season just because people bought into Kalil and determined that this was clearly a contender. Guarantee that people that are currently devaluing the win against the Saints because it was Aaron Kromer weren't upset about it last week when they were buying in.

    • I think his football IQ is well below average. I do not think he can read defenses at all. He is not the long term answer. I'm getting worried about DC. I think he has problems seeing the big picture for each game. Some people can't accept it, but this game is greatly affected by momentum. It's hard to explain but you can just feel his decisions break it at least two or three times a game (I think he is pretty solid when it comes to 4th down decisions). My biggest concern is this. You have seen these coaches time and time again. For some reason you have these coaches that absolutely will not go with what is working. We need a name for these coaches, what is it? If something is working great, they just do not have the intelligence to comprehend that something working is actually good for their team. They cannot understand this. AND REPORTERS NEED TO CALL THIS OUT. Rushing was insane for the past two games...ok let's take half his carries away and have Bryce air it out (look at the attempts he had). The reporters need to freaking ask "((this)) was working, you didn't do ((this)), do you consider that bad coaching? If so, why? If not, why do you defend doing the opposite of what it best?" Anyone knows you keep doing something until they stop it. But you have these coaches that think the are going to pull a fast one on them and do the thing that is not working. Dave is starting to remind me of that guy in the movie Kung Pow. I think his name was Weeblow or something, he had those squeaky shoes when he ran around. The Kung Fu masters trained him wrong as a joke, so he did things to get the crap beat out of him instead of winning the fight. I am going to start calling Dave Canales WEEBLOW if he keeps doing the opposite of what would win. But seriously, if he is going to be that type of coach, I would honestly get rid of him after this season. You 100% do not want a coach with this flaw...they may have one good fluke season but it will be years of terrible teams.
    • I mean the Bronco's only won by 1, but no one there is complaining.
    • A QB who can't consistently throw the ball 20 yards downfield has no business being a starting QB in this league. That is a backup QB who you put in there to manage a game when your starter goes down.
