[Giants]

Garropolo didn’t fumble on a kick return or not have a protective edge on the first punt. He didn’t cause Moseley to go down or Warner and Deebo to be out.

They now are going to have to pony up if there are any good corners in FA or make a stunning trade of a star to grab a corner.

There are a bunch of crappy playoff contenders in the NFC. With Jimmy they have a chance. With Lance they don’t.

Not suggesting they should make a change now.  Too late.  The time to do it was from day one.  Also, when Walsh had Montana as a rookie, he had a package he’d use Montana in.  Generally when inside the 20.  Helped him get his feet wet, and I’m sure built some confidence.  I had expected Shanahan to do something similar.

I will admit, some of my frustration is watching JG fixed like a statute and making high throws over the middle.  Time and time again.  

And some of it is wondering why they gave so much up for Lance only to sit him.  

Also, a simple question: when is the last time you recall JG hitting a receiver deep (I mean 40 yards down field?). They don’t even try anymore. Their long TD passes generally are short throws with long runs. A la Kittle yesterday.  

I realize the vertical passing game is not employed as it once was.  But every once in a while …. If just to keep defenses honest.

The good news…

JG will leave after this season.  Then we can see whether Lance was worth about the hoopla…..
