The season is over. This staff and GM fumbled this season in a way I didn't think could be done. Another 2nd round pick not contributing. Armstead not having a position. The Taylor/Pederson play calling fiasco. The horrific scripted 15 plays every game. Bad late game situational awareness. Poor game planning. Poor roster construction.

Trevor will be here next year but Pederson and Baalke won't be. Do the surgery and shut it down and move on to next season.

I disagree hard. We have been 62-142 since Shad Khan has taken over, I guess we should have been sitting all the players since? Why even play any player since Khan has taken over then? Fans pay a lot of money to go to games that the 275 million dollar qb is the main guy for. If he is healthy he should play, and gain some MUCH NEEDED reps with BTJ. I want those 2 on another level next season, only happens through reps. IN GAME REPS. Get them now. 

Again though, if it's something TORN... and he NEEDS surgery obviously the guy should go on IR and get surgery.

Are three wins going to make that much of a difference? If Trevor is your 275M future, and the likelihood of offseason surgery is nearly certain, there's little good in putting him out on the field to risk further injury, delay recovery, or potentially salvage a lame duck regime.

If we finish 3-14 or if we finish 6-11, the end result is practially the same - expectations were drastically unmet, we're picking early (though not as early in the second scenario), and all that just to give Trevor some reps with a WR. If Trevor is nursing injury the whole time or rushing throws to avoid contact, are those reps truly worthwhile?

embrace the suck, makes the less sucky that much more appealing.

But yeah, I have a feeling Red Zone will get a lot more airtime in my house on Sundays
