Pipe dream. If Quinn gets fired in ATL and Rivera took his place?

Yes I realize this has very little chance of happening BUT I personally would love nothing more than facing Rivera twice a year every year. Game plan would be simple, let them march down the field for two easy TDs and have them go up by double digits, then sit back and watch the magic unfold. I mean while highly unlikely, not impossible. Assuming Quinn is gone, you have to imagine the thought of sticking it to his old team twice a year and not having to put his house up for sale and move would be rather tempting for Rivera.

Yeah, why in the world would he want to work with one of the guys that enabled him to achieve his greatest success?

True, 2013 & 2015 were some of our greatest seasons. We were lucky in 2014; starting off 3-8-1, finished 7-8-1 & won division since everyone else sucked ass.

But seriously, after watching the stunts Gettleman pulled in '16 & now with the Giants? You really think Ron would want to go through that again?

Hell, I don't know if the Giants would even be interested.

But do you think Ron is gonna have his picks of gems when he starts interviewing for other head coaching positions?  I posit that he will NOT and the best he will be able to do is use "connections" to (maybe) get another shot.

And if you can make it there (the Big Apple), you can make it anywhere (as my Ol' Blue Eyes would say).

    • Yeah but at least that QB would be not short.  I keep going back to the fact other than Wilson no other short QB has ever won a Super Bowl. The success rate of short QBs is very, very low. Like count on one hand low.  Yeah some people would include Brees too but I don’t consider a 6 foot tall QB short, imo. 
    • I just rewatched all the highlights from after Bryce being benched. The Bryce hate needs to calm down a little bit. He showed a ton of potential the back half of the year. Same with Legette. They both made great plays when it mattered and a few mistakes when it counted. If we didn’t have a historically awful defense last year we could have ended even a bit better. Going into a brand new season we should be optimistic at least before game one. 2015 no one expected to go anywhere and the team steam rolled the league. I’m not saying that will happen, but hopefully we made strides to improve on the end of last year. Bryce put both Super Bowl teams in a battle last year and if we had a better D we could have taken them both. So at least look forward to the season and not past the season until it at least begins. 
    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
