The point I make is aligned with yours--the fans and the media will remember those comments and the player will be reminded of these expectations through twitter, interviews. etc.  I understand what he means, but he needs to understand the potential consequences of his illustrations. 

 

He called AJ Klein "Luke Kuechly 2.0" or something.  This team needs focus--not pressure and distractions. 

I think if players can't handle this kind of pressure, then they'll never be able to be anything more than average.  And if we start winning, nobody will care at all about some random comparison Rivera made.

I think it's pretty obvious the leaker is the "1 candidate [that] knows"

 

Distinct possibility, especially given that it's counterproductive for the team to leak it.

 

 

This is always like Peyton Place with this team.

 

I'm probably one of the few people old enough to get that reference.

 

Young bucks probably think you're talking about Manning :lol:

I don't know about you guys, but in the real adult world of employment- regardless of profession- one does not hold anothers job over their head as motivation. Nor does the notion of the carrot on a stick (playoffs=job retention). If I worked for a boss who thought that was an effective form of motivation and basically told me they were beginning to look for my replacement, I'd assume my tenure was coming to an end. And even if I achieved whatever measure of success he hinted at to ensure my future, I'm not sure I'd want to continue working under those conditions.

 

I, for one, do not believe reaching the playoffs are necessarily a component of coaching. I think Rivera should be gone regardless, and had it not been for the time it took to bring in Gettelman, Rivera might have been replaced before this season. The GM knows who he wants to coach this team, and Gettelman is no different, except he wasn't given that opportunity this season because the FO took their time in hiring him.

Hard to say without knowing what our owner is thinking. But at this point it's looking more and more like lame duck though.

 

Information like this getting out so early in the season after a blowout win doesn't exactly instill confidence in Rivera.

I think the problem with things like this is that we don't how or why this information got out...or how serious it is.  It can just as easily be that Gettleman doesn't think he will need to look elsewhere and is only starting the process as a fallback option...or maybe he has already made up his mind.  But as you said, we can't really know without knowing what the owner and FO are thinking, we can only speculate. 

 

Regardless, like CRA said, this isn't a lame duck situation like it was with Fox.  There's at least the perception that Rivera can keep his job if we get to the playoffs.  So there's still a reason for the players to stay focused and working hard, unlike with Fox when they knew he was gone no matter what.

      That argument could be used for actual trolls. “If you don’t like it find somewhere else to post” is just silly. Some of us are just letting you know, you are sounding like a broken record on these threads. It’s just some constructive criticism. You don’t have to change your ways. I doubt you will. Just wanted to make sure you were aware. Feel free to deflect and use one of those GIFs again.

      It went from he has to jump to he has to bend his hips. That’s changing it. I showed you clips of him throwing deep without jumping which means he doesn’t always have to. I liked and like Stroud better so I’m not really a Bryce defender. Just think you don’t have to make up things when critiquing our QB like he has to jump to throw it deep. There is plenty of ammo there without those exaggerations. Oh yeah the “you don’t know ball” argument. Classic.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By strato · Posted

      I get the rookie QB formula and fully expected to see it implemented. Oh well. For the run game there was no or very little under center stuff until a good ways into the year. At least that is how I am remembering it. And no deep throwing - so stacked boxes which you can say chicken or egg on why.  Hard to run like that.  The QB that people said was so great was pulled for a designated Hail Mary thrower. That’s pretty unusual. And may speak to why we saw few deep balls in some part, along with the OL. To ignore that stuff means you aren’t working with all of the information when you try to mentally model or project what it might be like on the field.  Me, I have a slice of hope that he could maybe be NFL average but getting him to be a plus type of QB is a huge job. It depends on designing the playbook with certain values at the foundation that have to be adhered to first . You have to integrate the other pieces around this one guy’s skill set because he is a real outlier. And he has to learn the under center skill set. Maybe put that Only Positive thread back up people can go there if they don’t want to deal with rightly frustrated fans.
