You guys ready for another 2-8 start?

hey, but come december our guys will light it up and save their coaches job and be home for christmas! whoo hoo! as long as the players are happy with their coach that's all that matters, right? screw playoffs. feeling comfortable is what it's all about.

that's rivera's legacy thus far. underachieving until it's too late. it's up to him and that team of his to change it.

If a GM is only willing to enter a situation with no coach, then they're limiting themselves to the Cardinals or Chargers. Rivera isn't going to effect the GM search much at all.

only if they're able to move on from rivera if he fails again...which is all he's pretty much done so far.

We turned the cream of the crop away by forcing a coach on any incoming GM. At that point, you're picking between a guy you know and a bunch of other second-tier guys not in consideration elsewhere. Add to that the fact that we're just starting our interview process next week after other teams are already on their second and third interviews. Richardson knows him and he's not going to get uppity with JR as he continues his bad decision making.

Beane is a very real possibility at this point. Right up our alley.

I doubt we're turning anyone away with this decision since it looks like all the other GM jobs are about to be filled.

Gettleman is only talking to us. Ross doesn't seem to be the leading candidate anywhere.

U losers talking about jumping ship - do us a favor and find another team to pull for ASAP.

Go root for the steelers or cowboys like the rest of the trashy/ghetto people do

Do me a favor and suck it, you don't control how I root for teams or not.

One thing to consider is maybe Beane & Rivera will share the responsibilities.

Beane handles the cap, business operations, etc

Rivera handles the football players and football decisions.

Might work.

They gotta get better scouting though or it won't matter.

make me.

i can't honestly believe so many just accept or even defend a losing status quo.

"if you don't love our losing team, go find some other team"

meh....

    • 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
