Joe Person ‏@josephperson

Rivera did say rookie CB Josh Norman played soft vs Giants, and S Haruki Nakamura was playing too deep, more like how he aligned w/ Ravens.

Ron Rivera a little chippy when asked about defense. Said he thinks pass rush has been good, thought it doesn't show up in sack totals.

Sounds like the honeymoon period is over between Rivera and the local media. Last year, he was refreshing and engaging with his responses. Almost like he was giving more detail than the question asked for.

Now, it seems win or loss, he's more abrupt and definitely more salty.

I remember when Fox was the same way. First time coaches learn there is no benefit from giving out any info.

How long did you play QB in the NFL for?

I can only assume you took it that I was saying having a "mind coach" or anything like that is a negative or bad thing. It's a great thing if it's needed.

I was commenting on how those that denied there was a need will quickly change their tone about it when they find out Newton himself thought it was worth going that route.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Icege · Posted

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
