look no one is asking anyone to kiss the ring of anyone . that is just BS hyperbole . what is being said is stop panicking when guys you think we should sign dont . stop reading stuff into things that arent true and simply give the guy a chance to run the team his way . the guy had his team in a superbowl . far better then any coach we have had since 92
Ron Rivera is better than Shanahan or Joe Gibbs?
Skinsdad, you know thats not true. Shanahan actually won 2 SuperBowls and had a better record than Rivera ever has. Nobody has addressed the fact that RR only had 3 winning season in 9 freaking years! I didn't trust him the moment he accepted the job because didn't do a good job with the Panthers. Per Panther fans, RR was not involved in FA or the draft in Carolina and was just the coach. In other words, this is his first stab at running a draft and FA. He might be a good fit and he might not.
We all hope that he does a great job but by simply taking the job, that doesn't mean he has all the answers and we should blindly accept what he wants to do or is doing.
I am a Skins fan and support the team but I have serious doubts about Rivera and I would hope most fans do. That being said, the odd moves that have been made have been defended by some posters on here who appear to have blindly given allegance to him and Smith. This is Smith's first time at doing this and he said that in his Combine press conference. They are going to make mistakes. Dunbar torching the organization and now TW's agent demanding a trade do not paint Smith and RR in a good light. We are the only team who has had multiple players demand to get out this year. To confirm, this is both RR and Smith's dive into free agency and it is showing. I hope we win the Super Bowl next year and Rivera is coach of the year. However, the constant defending of every move and trade on the board by some posters here comes off as kissing the ring of RR and Smith. That might not be the intent but that is how it comes across.
