Ron Rivera won us Superbowls? No.

Perpetual playoff contenders? No.

Has he made some questionable game decisions, off season moves and a bit too much loyalty to “his guys” like Turner? Sure.

…But the amount of flak, disdain and straight up rudeness coming his way from this sub is overboard.

Do you all remember the state of our team when he got here? We were a literal shit show.

While Rivera may not have delivered us to the final dance, you can not tell me he isn’t leaving this franchise in WAY better shape than he found it.

I’m not sure another coach aside from like maybe Cowher, Belicheck, Reid etc could have pointed our team back in the right direction as well as he has.

Oh, while beating cancer and getting IVs at halftime.

Oh, and while drafting us our future franchise QB.

Oh, and while making sure we had Terry, Allen and Payne locked up contractually.

Oh, and while making sure whoever comes in next year is loaded with cap space and draft picks.

Oh, and while bringing in EB, naming him assistant HC so if hired there is a smooth transition for players etc.

So enoughs enough. If your biggest gripe with him is a misplaced timeout, media blunder or the fact he didn’t hit 100% of his draft picks…maybe you’re the one with the problem.

Its real easy to throw stones anonymously, andbjust easy to drop em’ and kick em too…So maybe give the latter a try.

Just my two cents…

    My biggest gripe isn’t any of those. It’s that he keeps us mediocre. Having Ron coach us seems like we’re just in an eternal tie
