Ron Rivera's qualifications for being a evaluator of talent

[Chief X_Phackter]

LOTS of examples of 1st and 2nd round picks not contributing at a high level all across the league. Outside the top 5-10 picks (which still aren't a guarantee) the draft is basically a crap shoot in every round.

Not defending Ron and his staff, they haven't done well. But it's easy to look back now and pick apart decisions with hindsight. You can do that with literally every team.

I would say Ron is not a good evaluator of talent. However, I would also say it's not really his job. Sure, he is involved. He decides what the team needs, probably watches some film and makes the final call. My guess is his player personnel department isn't putting bad film in front of him, right?

Anyway, I'm with Hoglips, not sure why this warrants a separate thread. This is being discussed ad nauseam in multiple threads and he's on borrowed time anyway - won't be making anymore of these decisions. Moving along...
