Does Rivera seem happier?

Seriously doubt you can find the prior Draft press conferences online anymore, but just from what you can remember about the two prior years compared to today, did Ron Rivera seem happier sitting next to Dave Gettleman talking about the picks they made than he did with Marty Hurney?

I felt like he was a few things I hadn't seen  him be.  I would call one of them happy, sure.  I also think he was a little more confident and certainly a little more content.  It's not like I see a lot of them together but from hearing Rivera and Gettleman speak I get the distinct impressing Rivera is more comfortable with Gettleman than he ever was with Hurney as well.

 

Maybe I'm just reading too much into things to make myself feel better though.

Ron seems about the same to me..

Maybe we are just use "in season Ron", the guy who almost wins each week, and is out of the hunt by week 10. In season Ron deals with almost weekly disappointment until the games haven't mattered. I have always thought he was very positive heading in

if you were a coach and had two losing seasons in a row in your first two years of coaching and still managed to not get fired you'd be happy as well.

 

Uhhhh aren't most coaches taking over bottom feeder teams given 3-4 years?  I mean the expectations for Rivera are quite higher than most new coaches simply because he drafted Cam Newton.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
