Ron Rivera on Bryce Young Benching

[CPcavedweller]

Why are people so afraid to hurt Bryce’s feelings? I don’t get it. He is the same guy he was at Alabama. We tried training that out of him and it hasn’t worked, and that falls on his own preparation away from the facility and during the offseason, which he admittedly spent watching Netflix. 
 

It’s Bryce Young’s decision to get better or to not get better. The issue isn’t that he has changed since he left Alabama, the problem is that he has not changed since he left Alabama.

both fox and rivera could go 0-16, and still not put bryce on the field.

Hell, we saw Fox go get some dope sitting on the couch instead, and then get snappy about it.

True. That 2011 draft class was loaded and rivera and hurney took Cam. They did extensive homework as well...way more than they did on bryce.

How he never got it done or at the minumum back to back winning seasons with Cam, Stewart, Olsen, Khalil, TD, Kuechly, Johnson will forever haunt me

Had a HOF QB, HOF TE, HOF LB,  All-Pro RB should have been a dynasty easy lol

Might be more concerning in my old age than wrestling with the Cotchery SB catch

Because as a society mental health is a big deal and everyone wins a participation award

I think Cam had a great year in 2015 but I do think, in hindsight, that he wasn’t as good as we all thought he was. He may have been a Top 15 QB most of his tenure but he had limitations in reading defenses and precision throws (different from accuracy).

Canales didn't either.

That was Gettleman according to Cam himself. And he didn't get benched. He missed 1 series 

God, between Gettleman and Fitterer we just wasted so many good players.

If Gettleman hadn't cut all our wide receivers and then all our cornerbacks, maybe.

As a society, our mental health is what we say it is now.

Look at all the totally sane people out there doing totally sane poo, you have your proof.
