Interesting Rivera News

This team hasn't added a core player outside Cam since 2008. You could count LaFell but I'm not calling him a core player yet.

Hopefully 2012's draft can help build a new nucleus of young players for the new GM to work with. He'll need to bring in another strong class. I'm really happy that Frank Alexander is looking like he was worth the trade.

I have a feeling this team will be a very, VERY different team next year. I really do believe we will see a new GM and coaching staff. I watch Rivera's press conferences every single week, his demeanor this week is telling. You can just tell he is emotionally spent and out down, he has the demeanor of a coach who knows his time is near. I will say this though, i predict Hurney wont be fired but will instead "announce his retirement."

Theyll put Hurney into some position in the front office - he isnt going anywhere, but at least we may get a new gm.

If what the OP is saying deems true, I would have to somewhat agree. Rivera is losing the locker room and the respect of his team. I don't think it's the players being "soft" or "pussies," I think they are tired of losing and getting cussed out over what is clearly coaching issues. We should not be 7 - 14 with the talent we have, yes we still have holes, but the problems are coaching related and things are getting worse...

    • Well, as far as backups go, Kyle Allen is actually a decent one.  Better at this point than Dalton probably. That being said, Hooker apparently had an atrocious game against the Texans.  
    • i wouldn't say that yet. I also wouldn't say he's done anything that makes me think he's particularly good. i think that's about right for compensation both ways for thielen considering the state of the vikings and Panthers.  The weirdest thing is that technically the panthers should be adding veteran salary cap right now; they have a high cost first overall qb on a rookie contract; that's the best advantage in the NFL in this day and age. It hasn't worked out because, well, the qb they drafted isn't good and they've ignored other parts of the team to try to bolster him.  so what's morgan really supposed to do? Are they tanking with a rookie qb in year three that the owner probably personally wanted drafted? Are they actually trying to win games this year with 80 career catches between their top three receivers? The defense is probably going to be terrible. What kind of jump are people actually expecting from Coker, Bryce, XL, and performance from a rookie to overcome that? It's not realistic.  At the end of the day I don't think Thielen wanted to end his career here and I don't blame him. Minnesota is going to compete this year and Carolina isn't. I also think this is to toss Bryce to the wolves and be done with him one way or another. There's no way this works. This is not a move you make if you're trying to win football games. 
    • If he helps them win a super bowl the individual award is irrelevant.
