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.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
