I just cant quite put my finger on it but after seeing Rivera in several interviews over the last few months, he just seems.. different. Its just so hard to explain and I cant pin point it. Here is a good example. For my fellow Godfather fans, its as though the last two seasons Rivera was college boy, naive Michael Corleone. This season he seems to be more Don Michael Corleone. Catch my drift?

Just something about him changed. Not neccesairly in a bad way. He seems more focused and less skittish now and more mature? Like the last two seasons he was a guy you want to hang out with for a beer and shoot the poo, but this season its almost as though he has adopted a "id rather be feared than liked attitude".

Its nothing he has said or done in particular. Go watch some interview vids of him from early last year, then go watch some from the last few weeks and you will just sense the same vibe I am.

He's most likely still riding the high of saving his job late last season when it was almost seemed to be a foregone conclusion that he would be fired.  You might see the old Rivera you are used to this season depending on how things fall.

Maybe that he got 2 top DT and he has 2 years of experience........his players fought to save his job.....maybe he feel that this team is  finally in position to make a good run for the playoffs!! :cool:

 

I think this pictures speak volume for the players and the coaches..... looking forward to a great season

I think comfortable is the word. It seems like having Gettleman in has really taken the pressure off of him. It's almost like, having either a real direction in the team or a real say-so in the team has made him feel more at ease. It really makes you think how much of a burden Hurney was, even other than being a cap idiot.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes I to account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as a treading water year. I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked.

      think these smaller Qb's are going to have a much harder time convincing an NFL team to draft them. not saying a smaller Qb under 6 feet tall will not make an NFL roster .it will most likely be a UDFA contract more or less prove it deal.NFL teams have been burnt time & time again investing in these small NFL Qbs & i think  teams are now finally starting to realize that investing in these smaller Qb's under 6 feet tall is simply a bad idea  ...just saying
