What will it take for Rivera to Save his Job?

I think there are multiple objectives:

 

1.  We have to make the playoffs.   I don't believe there is any flexibility in this one

2.  Cam must show growth/improvement of his already good play.  If Cam regresses but we still make the playoffs I don't think Rivera will be the coach unless we go really deep.  (scenario) Our defense carries us but Cam has a poor year and we go out in the first round.

3.  We must close out games.  I can't place blame on Rivera totally on this.  A fumble here, a drop pass there, a safety letting a ball fly over his head .. these things were all that stood between us and playoffs the last few years.  However if it happens again this year, Rivera will get the blame regardless.

10-6 and playoff's, it might actually take a division title for him to stay. 

 

I agree 10-6 and playoffs. Rivera has to show dominance this year. I think he is capable of it. No more BS losses.

 

10-6 and no playoffs might actually happen because how tough the NFC is, in that case I he could stay as well.

it needs to be playoffs, but i wouldn't be a bit surprised to see him stay if we get 8 wins. you know...because that's forward progress and all. i just hope that gettleman has higher standards and has the power to do something about it.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
