Mike Greenberg has Cam's back more than Ron Rivera


Cookie Lyon

Recommended Posts

Ron Rivera was on Mike&Mike this morning and they discussed the lack of calls Cam receives. Instead of Ron defending Cam, he brought up the old tired argument about Cam's size (comparing him to Shaq once again) and that the refs have a hard time officiating him. Mike Greenberg said that it doesn't matter what size Cam is since he keeps getting hit in the head and that other quarterbacks do get those calls. It's sad when your own coach doesn't have your back in a situation like this. That's why NOTHING will change.

Here are some reactions to the interview:

I wondered if anyone would catch this. I should have known. LOL.

Greeny was trying to bait Ron into speaking out more definitely and forcefully against the refs. Ron parroted the company line, and Greeny didn't stand down, and basically told Ron that the refs/NFL had no excuse. Ron stayed on message by saying another ref is needed to watch the QB.

Each guy was politically correct in their position. Greeny kind of skirted the edge of political correctness by saying "No, it's not alright," when Ron was being slightly mealymouthed, but the exchange was very civil.

 For the record, I believe that Rivera is almost assuredly parroting a position from on high. Jerry Richardson is the person who should have stepped in and said something.

Fug this politically correct coaching staff and franchise. As some point, you gotta nut up and protect your own godamn players and say the hell with the league. Weak Rivera, can we get a fuggin coach with a backbone? For a great LB and a military background, Ron sure is a pussy tbh

I don't think that Greeny was trying to bait Rivera into saying anything. Rivera just needs to stop trying to excuse the lack of calls on Cam due to his size.That's what annoys me the most about the situation.

I do agree that JR needs to step up and say something. He should've stepped up publicly a long time ago.

I kinda would agree with you, but I don't think there is any way that Greeny didn't know about Rivera's response to the issue earlier this season. The story was rightfully a big talking point. No way Greeny didn't know Ron's stated position!

Rivera should not try to defend the refs.  It may be due to his size that the refs are not calling the penalties, but it is not his job to defend the refs.His job is to defend his QB who is not being subjected to the same calls for all other QBs.  I think that Ron is saying those things because he as a player or ref would do the same thing..in all honesty he sees why these things are happening because he is somewhat co siding with the refs just like he did when Cam got the concussion. I am not a believer in Rivera. That is why when we need 1 yd  to ice a game Rivera will not choose Cam ...I don't think he truly believes in Cam...At some point you have to stand for something you can not play both sides and in many ways Rivera has already showed us who he sides with.

Cam will never show his full potential with this team as long as he has Rivera as a coach.

    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
