Never forget, Everything happening now was always a known possibility/probablitity

Hurney and Rivera knew full well the chances of Cam playing an entire season were very low. Everyone knew to stay very cautiously optimistic and hoped for a real contingency plan this year.

 

Cam being out is not an excuse. It is not some sort of unknown variable. It was always part of the problem with this season.

 

That said, this is not an excuse for Hurney or Rivera. They must win or they must go.

Rivera needs to earn his 3rd coach of the year award like his job depends on it. Because it does. And I'm not so sure the answer (for this season) is on the roster if Cam is going to be out an extended period of time. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough what Hurney thinks.

They better try and get Eli that's their only chance. He is better than what we have as backups. I would like to have chances to win but it won't happen with those guys. I just don't want to give up on a season this early but I guess that's what is going to happen.

Uh I wouldn’t say everything happening now...we expected cans shoulder not foot. Though I guess we don’t know how long his shoulder would’ve held up or if his issues were from the foot or shoulder or both...

But there is absolutely no reason to win out unless your name is Ron Rivera.

Eli has a no trade clause and I’m pretty sure he has zero interest in joining another team. He loves the Giants and likes Daniel Jones. I think he just wants to help Jones through his rookie year then retire.

He also has an $11.5M salary we would have to figure out how to fit under the cap.

What do you give up for Eli? A 6th?

    • There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring. 
    • I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
