You are 100% factually correct, but can you imagine how good Rivers would have been on those Giants teams? Also having the extra draft capital that they would have kept by not doing the trade?
But that's coulda woulda shoulda, Giants won based on actual events.
Jefferson is a better talent, anyone who says otherwise isn't being honest.
But Diggs came in as a veteran and helped Allen a ton, who says a rookie could do that?
I think it worked out excellent, as Good as Jefferson is I'd still rather have Diggs because of his relationship with Allen. Maybe Jefferson would have been just as good but maybe not, I think Diggs being a veteran helped Allen.
Definitely a win-win.
Long Snapper is a specialist, just like kickers and punters. It's like asking a kicker to Punt, completely different mechanics.
They will have another long snapper signed by Sunday if theirs will be out for any given time.
Call it what you want, we have the same HC and DC. Mahomes and company looked really good.
We can beat them, but I wouldn't act like it's a forgone conclusion.
Rodgers was foolish to take the deal he took, put the FO in a position where they had no capital to put a team around him.
I also don't think they are top 3, probably a playoff team though.
I'm definitely team Rodgers unapologetically, I will remind you Rodgers threw like 5 picks in a losing effort in week 1 last year.
Not saying you're wrong, just don't start the victory lap yet, it's only week 1, you may have to walk it back.
