Reasons Why Rivera Is Out (But Hasn't Been Let Go Yet)

What scares me is that Rivera continues to insist that he and JR are going to sit down and decide his future. I don't like that unless that conversation consists of Jerry telling him that his fate rests in the hands of the new GM.

All I know, is we have to start making some moves like NOW. Other openings are popping up all over the place and the longer we sit and wait, the worse our options will be. I'd rather just keep Rivera for another year than fire him a week from now likely after the top candidates are either signed or at least narrowed down their list of choices.

No different than the method used to find free agents every year....

We need to just accept we will not be good as long as JR is owner. We are not a professionally ran organization and cannot compete with those franchises that are. We might luck into a winning season every now and then, but we will not compete at a remotely high level on a consistent basis. We just have too many self-imposed handicaps.

I'd like it if the conversation goes like this:

JR: "Either you fire Chud or I fire you AND Chud. The man is a stubborn idiot who is going to get MY star quarterback injured beyond repair within 3 years."

Rivera: *sits and stares with that empty lost puppy look in his eyes*

      Qbs aren't defined by physical abilities. Brady, Brees, Manning, Montana, Warner,.....doesn't seem to correlate.

      Corbett might not be gone

      By MHS831 · Posted

      If we are going to spend the money anyway, maybe the signing is not as bad as it seems.  Mays outperformed Corbett (before his injury and if you go back to last year, Corbett has been below average) and then Christensen took the job and Mays quickly took it from him and never looked back.  He could use improvement reaching to the next level (LBs) but picking up stunts and blitzes---he was surprisingly good.  Run blocking needs some work, but he is 25.  Corbett, in my view, should be G/C depth and if Mays steps back, he is there.  Mays should start because this team is building for the future and 30 year old players are not building blocks.  We shall see.  That is how I think about it, but there are many factors we do not know. Having said that, I like what Zavala is doing, and I do not want to bring in someone who would take opportunities away from him.  Zavala was really good at RG down the stretch, and in limited duty, was awesome. In fact, we have a guard from the PS who played briefly and did well, but he only played a few plays.  He is 25 and I recall that fans of his former team were upset when we signed him.   Maybe as the backup center only (Corbett).  You need 2 centers to run practices efficiently.  I cannot say enough about the OL coaches on this staff.  What they have done is overshadowed by the Lewis / Hunt signing.  Mays, Ekwonu, Zavala--impressive growth.
