Could we maybe just maybe be the 2011 Giants?

So I was looking at the 2011 Giants season when they went 9-7 and won it all, I know I know, every single year there is one below average team who thinks they can be the 2011 Giants, but hear me out.

2011 Giants- Beat only one, yes just one team with a winning record all season, the Patriots.

2019 Panthers- Beat one, just one winning team so far, the Texans.

2011 Giants- 8 of their remaining wins came against bad teams that all had a losing record that year.

2019 Panthers- so far all the rest of Panther wins this year have been against bad teams with a losing record so far.

2011 Giants- Have one game where they get blown out and lose 49-24 against the Saints.

2019 Panthers- Had a blowout loss against the 49ers.

oh and FWIW Giants lose to the 15-1 Packers that year during the regular season only to come back and beat them in the playoffs that year. 

Bottom line is this, do NOT count us out yet. If Kyle Allen’s light switch goes on at just the perfect time and we get hot at just the right time, just like the Giants did, then watch out.

11-5 might not get us in with tie breakers. There’s several teams ahead of us.

if we won out at 12-4 then we would get in, mostly because we would probably tie the Saints and be the division winner.

This isn’t a 12-4 team.

maybe 8-8 or 9-7 team.

      If his seat was hot enough for him to be fired 6 games in then you should've just fired him when you made the decision to draft a QB #1 overall. I don't think you go from "this is definitely our guy" to "you're fired in 6 games". Seems like there would be had to have been doubts going in and that's not a recipe for success for a rookie QB.

      I like to use the analogy that a high draft pick QB is like a new supercar. Great to have one except too often, one forgets that they are high maintenance. A bad team secures their car under a cheap tent, puts regular gas in the tank, services it at Pep Boys, and then blames the car for not working properly and proceeds to get another one.  At the least, Ward getting sacked 25 times already is a massive red flag. If you can't protect your rookie QB, you do not put him out there. Otherwise, it's taking your supercar and immediately spinning it right into a tree. A few survive that rough of a start. Most do not.

      I don't think there's any one size fits all answer. I think you play the rookie when A) you think he's ready and B) you think there's a reasonable expectation that the overall situation provides him an opportunity to be successful, not necessarily in terms of wins and losses but just in terms of giving him a fighting chance with surrounding talent. If you rush either one it's probably not gonna be pretty.
