Why is everyone jumping on the Rivera Bandwagon?

I've started to go the JR route, wanting to see progress more so than W/L record at this point.

My biggest fear is giving Cam Alex Smith Syndrome where he has a new coach/coordinator every year, basically ruining his development. With the salary cap problems and huge contracts we have, if a new GM and coach come in they won't win for a couple years anyway in all likelihood, and then we'll be calling for their head too.

I've been vocal at times while pissed at Rivera after a loss wanting him to be fired, but on the flip side, if he fixes his own problems, and makes Chud run a more balanced offense, maybe instead of being 1-13 in 7-point games, he could be 11-3 and all of a sudden we've got a contender.

I'm waiting to see what happens the next three games.

Week 4 against Atl is when I got out of my seat. Week 5 against Sea I was headed to the exit. 6 was the bye, and then Dallas and Chicago. So I haven't been on the so called wagon since mid-season, and it's going to take more than this one win to get me back on. He has to many stupid decisions to make up for.

yeah....i'm not seeing it.

a few people saying just wait and see what he does the rest of the year and a few more who believed he should be given 3 years to see what he can do doesn't exactly make a bandwagon but if you've got to think in terms of extreme positions to make a thread, have at it.

I had to stop reading the huddle for a few days it was making me sick.... People like JOAT talking about giving him one more year to get things figured out... Id rather drink Drain'o

i think he's held that position all along. understandable, imo.

i usually feel like that, but in this case i don't think he's shown enough for the new GM to not go out and find his own HC.

i haven't seen the progress that i'd like, but i'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt the rest of this season. it all depends on how well he coaches, if they win out, etc. he has to look really good the last three games and that's to even warrant really being considered for the 2013 season and on.

i've only seen one or two really advocating for rivera. others are just trying to keep an open mind for the rest of this season. some just like giving a coach three years. like i said, not exactly a bandwagon but whatever.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
