Well, a strong running game and good defense would have helped with that.
Once Falco became the starter, the OLine had a players-only meeting and vowed to try harder it appears. I think Dean believes most of this.

Wentz was supposed to be our savior per Dean. He literally said this could be one of the greatest trades we have ever made...

SMH...
There are not enough tears in Commander's nation to show how awful this has been!

i give him an overall D ,
I'm with the 25%. At 7-9, 7-9, and 8-8-1 He has met my expectations. I gave him a "D" as the HC and a "D" on personnel decisions. To paraphrase Denny Green "He is what I thought he was!

C- .... the team has been a little below .500 which is average. F for the Wentz trade. D for the Jackson signing.

Commanders Rank Last in NFLPA's Free-Agency Report Cards; Vikings, Dolphins Top List​

The grades were calculated from a 60-question confidential questionnaire that 1,300 players filled out.

Teams were graded on the following eight subjects:

  • Treatment of Families
  • Nutrition
  • Weight Room
  • Strength Staff
  • Training Room
  • Training Staff
  • Locker Room
  • Travel
The Commanders ranked last overall and received a F grade in treatment of families and an F-minus grade for training room, travel and locker room.

By comparison, the Vikings received an A, A-minus or A-plus grade in every category.

This is disgusting and reflects directly on Rivera and Company. He has been here 3 years and to have F rated facilities, travel and how families are treated?? I was fairly amped this week regarding the Bienemy hire but the Snyder news and now this just takes the wind out of the sails.

RR just isn't a very good coach

That rating is the organization, not just RR.

RR just isn't a very good coach
I would not say that he isn't a very good coach depending on what you're looking to do. Like QBs, all HCs aren't the same and must be paid accordingly. That said if your team is perpetually bad and winning 3, 4, and 5 games per season, he is a good transitional HC that you put in place to better stabilize your product on the field. His tenure should not be more than a season or two as you build your team and prepare for an eventual push toward becoming a constant entrant into the playoffs and winning SBs.

Now, the reasoning for this comes from an idea that's as old as the league and applicable to players and coaches alike... their effective time is up or in this case fast approaching! While I don't think that Rivera has reached that point in his career as an HC where retirement is staring him in the face but that oncoming train is speeding non-stop toward him. It is possible that He could get another HCing gig once he leaves here, but I don't think that there are many who would say definitely that he'll get another chance to lead a team.

1,300 players submitted questionnaires. It appears current Commander players voted this rating for the work place.
Does anyone have a link to or can post the questions from this survey?

I'll bet that there were some unasked factors that went towards their answers. An example would be winning and what it takes to win, games, playoff games, and championships. Remember players also rank themselves and when your team contributes very little to such rankings, or in this case, ranks so poorly, players know that their front offices aren't putting in the work and effort to gather as many top-end guys as they can afford for their respective teams, and it shows on the field.

I tried copying the link but to no avail. Questions related to the following:
  • Treatment of Families
  • Nutrition
  • Weight Room
  • Strength Staff
  • Training Room
  • Training Staff
  • Locker Room
  • Travel
On a side note Sty, what would it take to get Lamar in here on a fully guaranteed 3 year deal? Besides a trade of course.
I'm thinking 3 years $200m guaranteed at signing would do it. Benefits both parties as we are out after 3 and Lamar can resign another deal on the right side of 30. Thoughts?
