A Cam trade that makes way too much sense and I’m shocked it hasn’t been mentioned yet.

Giants hire Rivera, we trade Cam to the Giants for their draft pick and move to a top 3 pick in the draft. Makes sense for everyone involved. We get a top 3 pick to draft Cam’s replacement, Giants get Gettleman,  Rivera, Cam and Shula all back together again. Eli retires and Daniel Jones gets more time to learn on the bench. Not only do the Giants get a potential franchise QB in Cam for at least a few years, there would literally be no growing pains since Cam probably knows Shula’s offense better than he knows himself. Oh and Cam would be a HUGE draw in NY and would fit in perfectly there.

Rookie Jones has looked better than Cam the last two seasons. 
 

There’s a bigger chance that Eli may be a Panther next year than Cam being a Giant.

The reason it hasn't been mentioned is because it makes little-to-no sense. You don't draft a QB in the top 10, start him as a rookie, then sit him behind a (then) 31 year old FA signing the next few seasons with an eye towards the former rook resuming starting eventually -- especially when your team is crap and rebuilding anyways.

That's an interesting thought, especially if Cam is kept around and needs another ~half season to heal.

I’m thinking more like drafting a rookie QB in the 1st round and sitting him behind Eli next year. Would probably be cheaper than Cam’s 19m next season and you know that he will be healthy. There are so many FA QBs this offseason. Many guys will be in a different jersey.

Wow, a healthy player looked better than an injured one? Color me shocked. 
 

Also, Cam played at a top 5 level in 2018  before his shoulder started falling off

Top 5 my damn asss. Cam was throwing fuggn dump offs to CMC and screens to Moore/Curtco. That’s why his completion percentage looked so good. Watch the games and quit reading stats. Rookie

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
