"That's a disappointing play,'' Rivera said. "I'm pretty adamant about it. It happened to me when I played. I actually fractured my leg and sprained my interior cruciate. Whenever I see one of those, it really disappoints me.

"I know the league is aware of it, mostly because everybody in America saw it last night, so the league will handle that situation. It's a personal thing for me.''

Asked if he thought it was a dirty play, Rivera said, "I'll let the league make that decision.'' He gave the same answer when asked whether Cannon should be fined.

 

Don't blame him one bit. I like how he kept it classy though. A punk like Harbaugh or Schwartz would've started a beef through the media. 

 

 

Johnson returned for the final series after much debate on whether he could play.

 

"I went up to him and said, 'What do you think? Can you give it to us?'" Rivera said. "He said, 'I can give you everything I've got.' He went out there and he sure did. One of the first two plays, he was part of that pressure that got to the quarterback. He reached deep down and did some good things for us.''

 

I love his trust in the players.

Well judging by how those in the media  and how they are treating the endzone no call over all the other calls, I will just say, if you're not part of a chosen teams, your grievances don't matter.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
