Ron Rivera's qualifications for being a evaluator of talent

Rivera has completely fucked this team up in every single role he has filled. He's like George Constanza, he needs to start going w/ the opposite.

I think the personnel decisions have been worse than the coaching decisions. His failure to fix the OL or LB group over 3 years is just... not putting us in a position to win.


Agreed.....

If you look at the draft coverage for the last couple of years Mayhew has been trying to draft OL high but is, at least on some occasions, getting overruled by Ron. He wanted to take OG in the 1st round of last years draft, and he wanted to trade up for Avila in the second this year. I wonder whether he wanted to take Darrisaw when we drafted Jamin Davis.


Ron doesn't know what he's doing.....

Forbes, Martin, Dotson, Mathis, Davis, Cosmi, Young. These are the first two rounds of Ron's tenure. First round should be a legitimate starter week 1 in a well ran FO. You should be able to hit water falling out of a boat. Cosmi and Young are the only ones I would say Ron got right. Every other player we could've had on the team with a lower pick based on draft evaluation going in. You could have better success going straight chalk


Good evaluation......

The sooner this bum is gone, the faster we can start to rebuild.

The Martin pick was fucking egregious

The Martin pick was fucking egregious

We could have had O'Cyrus Torrence, who is starting at RG in Buffalo, with that pick. Yet another no brainer pick that RR somehow overlooked.

I think the simple solution is to have us evaluate and draft the talent.

The fans could be the gm. Post a poll at the start of every round of the draft listing top five options + trade down, ownership has to go with the top vote getter. Then at cut time have each position group listed, top 1 or 2 are deemed starters bottom ones are cut. Of course you need a practice squad poll too.

It would be amazing and a train wreck and a fascinating experiment all at once. And the results couldn't be worse than what our FO has done for the last 20+ years!

To make it even more interesting: qualify who can vote by having a gm prequal quiz and rank their votes according to their prequal score.
