I thought he did pretty well . . . except on the dive to the endzone that he got hurt on. Of course it was a playoff game on the line and he was getting his one chance to prove he can play. Not sure you can fault him for giving it all in that game. He did say he would have gone out of bounds if it weren't a do or die playoff game.

The team went ALL IN for Cooper last year. If they find a long-term QB they want, Rivera has shown he will go after it.

Watson wants off his team, or so it’s reported. The offer of 3 continuous first round draft picks is a VERY tempting offer for a guy who doesn’t want to be on the team. The WFT may also have to throw in one of their very good players to seal the deal.

The WFT has something it hasn’t had in a LONG TIME. A changed culture, an excellent HC, the owner (at least for now) not micro-managing everything as before, AND a promising near-time FUTURE. Instead of a team where guys came just to get OVERPAID, now they will come because this is a team ON THE RISE. A player can come to this young, energetic team and make his mark.

Watson may be a long-shot, but it is not impossible. The WFT may also do a RG3-type deal to trade up in the draft. Offering the first round pick for 2021, 2022, 2023 will take the WFT from the 19th pick to what? Definitely a top five pick. We’re not going to get Lawrence but we could get one of the top 3 draft QB.

WFT offered Cooper 37 million LESS in guaranteed $$ than Dallas gave him. They went after him, but I wouldn't say they were all in. Dallas was all in with 60 million guaranteed.

Its like we took a Honda CRV and asked it to pull a 55 foot boat up a mountain and it did it one time and at the end it was all beat up and smoking but i mean it did do it. I just wouldn't want rely on that CRV for a full season of boating.

We need a fucking F-350!

Good analogy. I agree. Or at least if he is our starter we have a solid backup in case.

Thank you, I am still spinning from my pizza link though.

In order for there to be a QB competition at camp you would have to already know the system. What QB"s out there have already played/know this system.

[Summo]

Anyone mention Sam Darnold? The Jets have been hinting at drafting a QB for a while now and a change of scenery and a team with a D like ours would really help him.

Stafford is my first option though.

Cam Newton is the most likely candidate.

Reading this article on Hurney releasing Cam Newton from the Panthers, I doubt Hurney would be all in as Newton as the starter. He might bring him in if Newton's agent wanted to use the meeting to generate interest though. Sounds like they ended on good terms.

that’s why you are a Giants fan.

The most realistic option is Stafford. I’d offer 19 and if they say no then u move on. My bet is Houston trades Watson to the Jets, they have the picks. Houston can grab Fields or Wilson with that pick. They won’t want #19 unless u throw in Montez Sweat and I highly doubt Ron does that.

Hell no to Cam Newton, he’s washed

Wrong. The WFT has NO interest in him. They could have gone for him before and they didn’t. His time on the Patriots isn’t that impressive. Here is my guess at the WFT QB “wish list” -

1. Stafford trade (big trade, three #1 picks and a premium player, such as Allen or Payne)
2. Watson trade (same as above)
3. Move up in the draft from 19 to the top five with a big trade (offering a couple #1 picks).
4. Stay at 19 and hope they can draft a lower ranked QB and turn him into a Diamond; Heinicke and this draft pick compete for the #1 QB spot in 2021.
5. Resign Heinicke - he’s a great #2 or perhaps even can compete as the #1 versus a draft pick. No brainer!


Heinicke is the wild card. They will absolutely resign him. I think they will try to get him in the weight room and build up his muscles to compensate for his 6’1” size. Remember, he was studying and going to school when they called him up. Probably in shape but not peak NFL-ready. He also needs to work with the QB coach to learn how to protect his body while running. I actually can ‘t wait to see him buffed up and ready to compete in the OTA’s, TC and practice games. He might be the reason Rivera just takes the best QB available and sticks with #19.
