I am wondering if Gettlemen is more involved than we think.  The guy is a football guy, he knows football in and out.  I wonder if he is actually behind the scenes helping with game planning etc.  I wouldn't be surprised if he had a big hand in helping Rivera plan as well as making the guy a better coach.  He said "If we do this right", JR would be holding up the trophy.  I cant help but to think he has laid out some master plan for this season to do just that.

ROFL.  Just refuse to give Rivera his props eh?  GM helping game plan?  Really? 

 

 

Maybe just maybe Rivera is a good coach.

 

Maybe just maybe he is learning to be better just like players get better after playing a few years.

 

Maybe just maybe the team is executing better thus ending up with better results

 

Maybe just maybe we are winning games with a dominant defense because that just so happens to be Rivera's specialty.

Actually, in Gettleman's old role with the Giants, opponent scouting was part of what he did.

 

He was, in fact, part of the group that built the game plan the Giants used to beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

 

That experience is helpful for a GM.

um no, I have gave Rivera is props in many threads, read the rest of the forum before making dumb comments. kthx.

 

So I should read the all of your forum post to get context for your original post?   Ahhh makes about as much sense as the OP.

 

You basically stated that Rivera has improved because we are winning and maybe it's because the GM helped him?  Is there any other coach someone would even insinuate something like that?  GM helping with week to week game planning?  That's just disrespectful.

I think GM is just better at picking up FA's and drafting players that fit our team. And in turn I think that's helped Rivera. He is what is new to the team as well as Shula moving to OC. But, all these new guys have made a big impact maybe even larger then our prior guys have.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
