I was wrong but moving forward

I was among those who said that Rivera should not and would not be retained, I was wrong on 1 and perhaps both points. He now has my support.

By the way, those who have said that JR is cheap....do not have a clue what they are talking about. You should stop posting.

I believe Mr. Richardson desperately wants his team to be the champion and he cannot count on a lot of years to wait. (By the way, those of you that have posted about looking forward to his death for team ownership reasons are despicable.) Mr. Richardson may very well live to be 100. My guess is that anyone who was as close to death as he was, and who now has a borrowed heart....values every day and takes nothing for granted.

I thought it was interesting that Rivera said he and Mr Richardson have met every week (since Hurney was fired) and JR tells him what he likes and doesn't like. JR must have seen some evidence that RR listened and made some changes.

I have heard the arguments for keeping Rivera and now I will embrace them. Especially because Mr. Richardson decided he deserved 1 more year. A pretty big decision considering he wasn't sold on him in the first place.

RR has made mistakes and am hoping he has learned from them and can correct. I will be positive about that going forward. It is very impressive that his players played so hard for him.

Even though I was not supporting Rivera returning, a part of me is happy for him because he seems like such a great guy. Perhaps this is where he needed to be as a HC. Maybe he was supposed to be a Panther.

I am moving forward believing.

As its been said, I don't think there are too many here who have any qualms with Rivera sticking around for one more year to see what he can do.

It's who made the decision to keep him, and the message it reveals, and the message it sends to viable GM candidates.

JR might not be cheap, but I do think he meddles too much and that's why we can't turn the corner. He's like a silent, introverted, more gentlemanly version of Jerry Jones. I just get the feeling that he has a hard time not putting his two cents in and can't get out of his own way.

i don't think that was the case until he gave fox the ultimatum of two winning seasons in a row or i tear it up and we start looking forward.

he should have let hurney go with fox and started with a truly clean slate. he didn't want to shake things up to bad, but he ended up making things out of balance.

i have a feeling that we'll be paying for that for a long time.

This is just another example of "Cam " effect. We are excited about what Cam and future hold. Some are worried JR is going to make another mistake hire, like keeping Rivera is why we won't get a quality GM.

I believe JR knows where he wants to go. He looked Rivera in the eye and decided Ron could help him get there. JR will do the same thing in his GM search. He will hire the person he believes can also assist in obtaining those goals.

JR has had a rocky track record with coaches and GMs. He is probably just as nervous as the rest of us about getting this thing done right. I am optisimstic that he will get it right this time. And if so. The future truly is bright.

My giddy is right. I just know it is.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

      Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.

      What gets this team past this?

      By frankw · Posted

      I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
