Rivera Not Happy About "The Way It All Happened," Regarding Smitty

What was misleading about "Rivera not happy about Smitty's departure"?

The quote says he hated how it all happened. LOL. Am I the only one capable of reading comprehension? What is he referring to then? Smitty's bojangles endorsement ending when Jake was released? LOL.

The Huddle wants blood now and can no longer read or think for themselves.

"RAWR! Me want entire story in title!!!arrrrghhhhhh!"

 

Smitty your first cousin or something?  You seem WAAAAAY too invested

There is a gigantic difference between "i'm sad the way this went down" and "I'm sad this went down."

 

I said "not happy about his departure," in the original title.  The departure including the entire ordeal...  If that was misunderstood, then it wasn't by design.  If I hadn't typed it and was reading it, I wouldn't find that to be a discrepancy from title to quote.  "The way it all happened," kind of seems all inclusive when referring to the situation.  I figured it would be understood that "departure" was synonymous with "IT ALL," in this instance.  I really think the huddle is unstable and that is all semantics.

 

But, I apologize if anyone sincerely didn't interpret it that way for the entire minute the original title was up.

I'm just trying to explain the difference. If you want to read into it, feel free, but it's just best not to misquote, or pose as a question, or the huddle police will get you. ;)

 

It'd be a much bigger deal if Rivera had said he was "not happy about his departure" as opposed to "the way it all happened." One requires you to read into it, the other pretty much doesn't.  One signifies a pretty big divide between the coach and the FO, while the other could just be a coach lamenting how one of his players was treated.  While you can read into it to mean the same, it's a huge deal if it was actually said one way or the other, because of the divide it could signify.  Hopefully that explains my stance on it.

edit: There's a good chance Rivera signed off on or helped cause Smitty's departure.  But, that doesn't mean he likes that Smitty found out about it basically through leaked media reports and never had anyone from the FO consult him etc.

 

Given the way our front office runs, he pretty much had to be in agreement with it.

 

Yeah he may not have liked the way it happened, but I don't see him getting vetoed.

I I for one hate the way it happened and am not happy about Smitty's departure.   All the semantics and misquotes etc... aside, I do have to wonder what Rivera and the rest of the coaching staff must be thinking at this point.

I question this though...  Didn't Rivera make a statement after the combine flap somewhere that Smitty would be a part of the team going forward?  On a video on the site or in an Observer interview?

Sometimes when you go to the dentist you hate how it all happens with all those needles and drills and blood and poo.

That doesn't mean you're UNHAPPY with the final result.

Ron had no say so in this matter if he did steve would still be here.  Ron didnt want to get rid of steve if he did he would have already done so with old management or at least make ao comment. IMO this was all on DG and it looks like this is how he does things and Ron wasnt happy about it period.  Ron is a players type coach and DG is well he is what he is and players are jumping ship faster than I have seen in years past.  Now I have a sense that free agents will want to avoid dealing with DG. 

 

IF we continue to be good and have many many years in a row when we make the playoffs, then players will want to come here regardless of how DG would treat them... Look at Revis going to New England. He went to win, only, not to make a lot of dough or to have a good relationship with the management. Whether DG will bring us that success or not, I don't know, and as of right now I don't believe he will... But we will see.

Interesting that he finally comments. Especially since I just mentioned this last night in another thread. I guarantee you that he's sick over all of this! He still hasn't made an official comment, instead he made a comment in front if a kid and fans. RR has lost sleep over this. Guarantee it

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
