I do believe Cam Newton is horribly overrated due to his "look at me 24/7 act" and media loving it. He's a HORRIBLE passer.

Despite his team's offensive troubles, his team has always had great defenses up until last season, always ranked in the top half of the league, usually Top 10, and even top-ranked in the NFL in 2015.

The strength of Coach Rivera is his team's discipline, he's a man that puts his foot down and players will follow him. That's EXACTLY what this team needs after the far-too-many years given to Gruden's incompetent free-for-all orgy atmosphere. Before that we had Jim Zorn! This team has lacked a read leader at Head Coach for a LONG, LONG time.

Even if we don't win right out of the gate, he'll bring some respectability and stability back to this team. We need that more than wins right now, as that's the first step in getting back to being successful on the field.

He's the right man at the right time.

RR is the best this team could have done so I give WFT that. His 9 win average is way better than WFT but considering the talent level he's had his results should be better.

I agree that he seems like a disciplinarian and this year the Club Jay atmosphere will likely be gone but as long as DS is the owner that discipline will only go so far. Will DS listen to RR and let him run the team his way, maybe. But until I see it happen I suspect RR will be another in a long line of WFT flame outs.
