Big Blue Huddle

Ed... sanders has a spine injury.  saw it yesterday on espn crawl.  said he's not sure when it happened.  sadly for him, not a good omen.

win all we can.  win.  one or two slots on the draft board this year will not matter in the big picture.  and for those who want to draft a new back-up qb in '24, just wait until rounds 2-3.  he'll be there.

we all saw 2 L's v.s. iggles and cows, an L vs. SF and the seahags, and a lot of folks said we'd split with the skins [we won 2!!!].  we should have beaten the jests.  we beat the cards.  Who knows what a mediocre and healthy OL would have meant vs. jests and raiders.  beating the pats today [I hope] and we could very well have had 5 wins by this evening.  So getting 4 W's by tonight isn't so bad, and it beats feeling the way a lot of carolina fans must feel right now.       Go Giants

no one on that list IMO has better upside than DJ.  Arguably, any of those teams would like to have DJ when he's healthy over the guys on the list  [ok the jests have rodgers, but let's see how he returns from that ugly injury]. 

Thanks to all.....best wishes and have a happy safe holiday.  Gobble  Gobble!!!

we could have had collins, picked up Warner [only 1st ballot HOF] and saved the ranch we traded to get Eli, if you want another scenario.  And we still could have gotten big ben in our regular spot that year as well.  Glad Eli worked out but if he hadn't it would make some folks willing to throw even more $$$ at DJ. 

RR is a good coach and will surely land at least as a DC in the nfl, if not nfl or college head coach again IMO

I met Ron Johnson when he was inducted into the college football hall of fame.  Fred Dryer and broadcaster Chris Schenkel that night too.

Starting qb's fall like autumn leaves.  Yet teams put so much $$$$ into them. 

So, would it make sense to hedge the bet and spread the huge qb 1 and mundane qb2 $$$ more evenly between two players:  solid, experienced, dependable qb's, clearly not top 15-18 guys, but good enough to be starters or strong qb2's, rather than on the illusive 'franchise QB,' who, once hurt, like Jones, Burrow, Cousins, Rodgers, etc. usually leaves the team scrambling for someone to fill the position [Vikes seem to have hit the jackpot signing Hobbs, but that's not typical].  It also avoids the angst of selling the farm to draft a qb at the top of the draft, which is just another gamble, and can put you one injury again from misery. Thoughts?

nfl channel says waller is nor on IR

so "danny" devito ["a sub above"  LOL] is still the back-up????

is it possible that the Giants would sign...Colin Kaepernick???
he has offered to sign with any team as their back-up.  Meaning he'd not cost much on a 1 year prove-it deal. 
we surely need a back-up.  DJ may still be out and Taylor is still in the hospital.. DeVito did not shine, even as a qb3.
Colin is what - the same age as Taylor, maybe 1-2 years more or less.  But he's healthy, rested, and a proven top 20 qb in the nfl.

if not who plays next game???

brightwell got hurt.  Gray got hurt.   Saquan's arm????????????    Have to have someone back there.  I saw some flashes the last two pre-season.

"Playoffs????   Playoffs?????"   Remember that one.  [jim mora in 2001]  Let's try one game at a time.

if someone tries to poach Pugh, can't we counter by elevating him?????  Yes we'd have to cut or IR someone, but several come to mind.

perhaps a cautionary tale for those so eager to dump DJ and draft the next new shiny rookie toy in the '24 draft.  No way to tell who's going to be hurt/playing, regardless of their potential.   Really too bad for Richardson.  He's fun to watch.
