To me, what's infuriating about everything is that Rivera and company are trying to cheat a proper rebuild and are looking at taking short cuts. Won't draft a quarterback to develop, so let's try to trade for one, depleting what draft picks and depth the franchise has. Management and coaching knows that they need linebackers, so rather than try to poach some linebackers in free agency, they sit idle and sign depth guys and practice roster depth. And don't get me started on Jamin Davis. This should have been a linebacker that they handled with kid gloves and develop him accordingly and instead, Rivera and Del Rio have zero clue how to use him and they bury him. Or let's talk about how they signed a gimp legged Curtis Samuel in free agency because 'he knew the system' and goes on to play in what, three games because his groin and quad were shot. And then they don't even bother to send him to a surgeon to see if the issue can be fixed by an operation. Then, with a big receiver on the roster in Cam Sims, Scott Turdner couldn't find receptions for him. Or how about Dyami Brown, who has speed to burn and is a good route runner and they can't work him into the offense either.
Ron Rivera is a fraud. Let's be honest. His mantra of 'culture' has done shit to change what's wrong in Washington. He's failed to hold coaches and coordinators accountable (I'm looking at Del Rio and Turdner), they've signed free agents who absolutely busted, outside of Cosmi, the players they've drafted, they've failed to put them into positions to succeed and they've continued to fail to address the most important position in the field. To add to it, when the investigation into the football team was done and people were wanting a report on things, Rivera could have EASILY used his influence to force the league to release a report and put more heat on the NFL to rescind the franchise from Snyder but he failed to do so. Everything about Rivera and company reeks of incompetence. As fans, there's nothing that can be done to stop this shit storm. Goodell is also to blab me because if he had any balls, he would have released the report and embarrassed Snyder into giving up the team. It's funny how he's quick to punish players but he turns his head when owners do no good. I'm just done. For 40 years, I've been a fan and the last 25 have been an awful pile to swallow.
