Me, on facebook wrote:The Packers front office and Mike McCarthy should really be ashamed of the "work" they've done to surround a Hall of Fame QB with talent. As in, they haven't surrounded a Hall of Fame quarterback with any talent at all. Instead, they've muddled along, relying on Rodgers to cover up their failures. And for the most part, he has. But both this time and the last time he had a long term injury, the team has been exposed as not just not being very good, but as being very very bad. If not for one really hot streak in the 2010 playoffs, Aaron Rodgers would rank up with JJ Watt in terms of a career wasted by an inept front office.

Today, John Breech of CBS Sports wrote:San Francisco 31-21 over N.Y. Giants
Giants: F
If you lose to an 0-9 team you get an 'F.' Ironically enough, "fired" starts with an F, which is what the Giants should do to Ben McAdoo after Sunday's disastrous performance. Although several players have insisted that the team hasn't given up on McAdoo, their play on the field seems to suggest otherwise.
49ers: A
C.J. Beathard channeled his inner-Joe Montana in this game and gave San Francisco his best performance of the season. The rookie quarterback finished 19 of 25 for 288 yards with two touchdowns for a 49ers offense that scored more points against the Giants (31) than they did in the past three weeks combined (30). If Beathard loses the starting job to Jimmy Garoppolo this week, he'll know that he went out on a high note.

Here you take it! No, you take it!

Ben McAdoo wrote:Since the Giants have decided to move on from Eli Manning, one wonders why they didn't try to trade him to the Jacksonville Jaguars before the trade deadline.I think a lot of Hall of Fame quarterbacks who have done a lot for a lot of teams haven’t been able to choose the way that they get to move on.

JustAnEngineer wrote:To ensure that they tank the rest of the season for a high draft pick, and as a sign of the toxic situations that develop in losing franchises, the Giants have benched Eli Manning in favor of Geno Smith, bringing Eli's 13-year record of 210 consecutive games started (second-longest in NFL history for a QB) to an end.
