Allow me to help.  Actually, the Giants don't have the word "Giants" on their helmet.  They have a lower case "ny", which is appropriate since you wrote, "new york."

A bandwagon is a metaphor that means you are a late arriving fan of the team, now that the team is successful. It also implies that the first losing season will feature your departure from the board.  There is no real wagon and there is no band on the wagon, if that caused the confusion.  

I am here for you, gents.

Said it in the other thread. Most of us didn't expect him to come in and fire everybody immediately (granted, a few did).

The question will be how he feels after he's had time to work with them directly and see how they perform during the season.

The steeler way is to give staff a long time to deserve to be fired over multiple seasons. Expect Rivera, Hurney and co to be here for a while.

Wrong.  They have enough history for one to know what they bring to the table.  One will get to stay because he can't realistically be replaced until after the season.  One can be shown the door immediately without missing a beat.  I let you decide which is which.

I mean at this point it was obvious he was going to be here at least to the end of the season right? Why would there be a change this late in the game? Unless you want Tepper pulling old JR moves. Plus at least on paper its been a good off season and I like the direction we seem to be taking with the draft.

Of the 3 ownership changes this past decade 2 kept their GM a year or 2 before making a change. I believe all 3 coincided with a coaching change but they may have been unrelated coinincidences. I believe it was the Browns where Haslam almost immediately shook thinks up. The Bills and Jags kept current GM a season or two.

If the Steeler way is Hurney love this will be interesting.

We must remember how historically bad the Bills, Jags and Browns were. Short GM tenures would go hand in hand with those terrible records. Hurney won a lot last year. He should keep the job for a while and he will.

You can't really credit Hurney for last year though.

The draft, free agency, and pretty much everything else up to training camp we're done by somebody else.

Marty was really only responsible for one major transaction in mid-season that had questionable effect, and he didn't even initiate that. Brandon Beane did.

Hurney is safe, so if you think they'd fire Rivera and Promote from within for the HC spot. 

 

but both are safe. dont expect either one to be fired unless this coming season is 2-14 and then Hurney will be looking for a new coach.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
