Ron Rivera Should be Given a 3rd Year

I will remain undecided until the year's end.

We all know he has a hard time managing close games but its not like we have a totally incompetent coach on our hands. Also, the way the team teases us with greatness is eerily similar to the Chargers before half the staff and team got up and left for Charlotte. I just don't know, but it's obvious he's struggled and is more of a great defensive coach.

The thing is, if we keep him, I think that should pretty much mandate a playoff year in 2013 or he's definitely gone. There would be absolutely no excuses. That gives him and the team that still is quite behind the guy a lot of juice next year. So it's either we kick ass in 2013 like we've done the past 2 games or he's gone. The risk of keeping him is around the same as getting a guy with NFL HC experience imo to come in and implement a brand new system. I'm not saying "yay! keep him" but its a toss up right now. I just hate how much like the Chargers we feel like haha.

Not trying to sound snobby, but I work in a college football office so I do have a pretty good idea of what it takes to run a football team.

"working in a college football office" is a pretty ambiguous way of saying you vacuum the floors after hours at a college football office

Thus far he's done a fairly good job, and to be honest I wouldn't be surprised if J.R. gave him the job because he would definitely be cheaper than most and definitely cheaper than Ross.

Well I have to agree that as the price goes down the quality generally goes up.

Quality Control Coach, you know like Scott Turner.

Regardless, Rivera has actually shown some improvements this year.

I feel like people forget this is Rivera's FIRST ever job as a head coach, it will/should take him at least three years to understand all of what a head coaching job entails.

so basically you're in an entry level position and you think that makes your opinion hold more weight

next time I go to a restaurant I'm going to ask the bus boy where i can find the best food in Manhattan then

      Wanting that type of play and being okay with paying $55 million a season for it are two entirely different things. If Bryce were to become the same player Purdy has been, then he would surpass my expectations of him and I'd be okay with him as our QB of the future (and again, I've long been one of the bigger anti Bryce people here who doesn't think he is capable of being our long term solution). But in no world would I be okay with paying him THAT kind of money, paying an average starter elite money is just a terrible decision.

      I don't think they can overcome that mistake. Hell Lance was a hiccup compared to this. He isn't going to be able to carry that price tag and now he is going to have to do just that. Lol. The NFL is so dumb sometimes.

      So, one could say that T-Mac is quicker than someone of his size should be and while he might not be quite as fast as Evans in the 40, he's more athletic than Evans. If only someone, anyone, could have seen that in his tape and mentioned that on here, hmmmmmmm In all seriousness, hearing he tested in the 89th percentile in that drill at his size is crazy impressive.  Just tried to look up the times of the top WRs in the league right now, most don't show at time for that, but I did see Chase ran his in 7 seconds flat. I honestly don't know how true this is, but I do remember seeing one breakdown of his tape and the person said he has quiet and efficient feet.  That he's really good at using the minimal steps possible to make his cuts and because of that, it actually makes him look slower to the human eye because you don't see all the quick chop steps that the guys like Tyreek would use in their running. I'm still in a state of disbelief that he's a Panther and it might not fully hit me until week 1 and I see him out there making plays for us, still feels like Goodell is going to just be like, "YOU GOT PUNKED!!!  hahaha, he's a Cowboy now, suck it"
