Gettlemen/Rivera/JR

Now that Rivera's staff is in shambles and the argument of "continuity for Cam" is out the window...what are the chances Gettlemen goes to JR and says we gotta scrap this staff? This has turned into a sports disaster on the scale of Lee Fowler circa 2006 looking for Herb Sendek's replacement. Are you really comfortable going into the season with Rivera/McDermott/Shula as a coaching staff? That might be the worst staff in this history of non-Oakland Raiders NFL football.

At this point unfortunately the chances are probably slim but as a GM, I think it's Gettlemen's responsibility to go to JR and say that this is a situation that can be fixed...It's why he hired an effing GM. Richardson is quickly starting to look like an incompetent owner with the prospect of losing another seasonw with a franchise QB.

I'm not worried one bit. Rivera definitely deserves blame for some of our early season struggles, but the guy has no problem benching players that us fans think should be on the field, getting competitive play out of complete scrubs and firing coaches that just don't cut it. Rivera knows he SHOULD have been fired this year, so I don't buy the argument of him firing these coaches as scapegoats. He wants to make his mark on the NFL and he's not ok with phoning it in. He knows how many coaches want his job, how this team is gushing with talent but lacking identity and discipline. This team has gotten better under Rivera, and I know because we have Cam Newton we feel we should be in the playoffs every year, but that isn't how the NFL works. Heck Brees was putting up disturbing numbers in NO for a few years and not making the playoffs.

Before Chud left many people was calling for his firing. He totaly screwed half our season on the

read option and not using our running backs. Rivera or Richardson finally told Chud to change or leave. Now that he is gone some question the move. He could not turn down a HC job ! We can now

go to a more traditional offense and use our weapons better. Gentleman knows what it takes and will have an input on the new hire. He will look at Shula to see if he is ready and then look at Turner or

someone else. Either way we will improve.

Sounds reasonable. Who the hell let you in here? ;)

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
