I didnt think Zappe looked too terrible and did have some potential that could be developed so I would do it just to have a young QB on the roster as a third.

Yup.  It wouldn't be a "waste" of a roster spot to develop a young backup.  Dalton is not a long term solution as the #2.  Heck, it was what we were attempting to do with Corral, but it just didn't work out.

Was last season when Riverboat was missing huge chunks of time for chemo? If so maybe he missed a lot of practices. Still no excuse not to personally evaluate all of your players, especially at the most important position.

First thing that crossed my mind too but yeah, that was a prior year.

This article is from September 2022. It goes into detail about the after affects Rivera was going through after his cancer diagnosis even 2 years after that diagnosis and gives hints about how the 2022 season was going to effect him.  It doesn't mention that he missed any practices in 2022. A person does not instantly recover from cancer treatment and it can take years. Looks like he tried to stay on top of everything but truly wasn't able to. Good on Heinecke to bring Howell to his attention. So cut the guy some slack. That Rivera is upfront about what happened is a good step in his cancer recovery.

    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
