Voth: Rivera is Staying

This isn't news. "next week" on the GM hire is just hilarious though.

Richardsons plan on the GM hire:

Step 1) Wait.

Step 2) Keep waiting until there are no viable prospects left for the position

Step 3) Hire Beane, have him do exactly as I say

Step 4) Tell fans they can't say anything, there weren't any other candidates available!

Step 5) make more money!! Huzzahh!!

I hope fans sell their PSLs en masse if Beane were to become GM of this team.

If Cam continues to play as well as he is and we simply can't "win", he'll bolt when his rookie contract is up. I hope Richardson knows what he's doing because he has only has two seasons left to figure this out.

There is a 5th year team option and after that the f tag.. He is not going anywere.

Now we still need to win though:)

Jesus christ if JR is as much of a severe tightwad with his money like most of this fanbase so often says, why the hell would he waste good money in hiring an evaluator like Ernie Acorsi just to go with the cheap alternative which he could have made the permanent GM a long ass fugging time ago. Do you guys actually listen to yourselves?

As much as I wanted Rivera gone, I understand the decision. Hell, if I were a coach, I would want 3 years to implement my plan. Next year will remove all doubts and answer all the questions. The new GM will probably be told that he will either have a successfull Rivera or he gets to pick his own guy for 2014.

I guess we are risking another wasted season instead of a total reboot. We can always reboot in 2014 if need be. I think JR is thinking more long term than knee jerk (like most successful businessmen do,) rather than immediately handing they keys to the kingdom to an unproven college coach.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
