During and after their 20-17 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday in Munich, Germany, New York Giants fans took to social media to pray for Cam Ward. They prayed for him to come to the Big Apple and bail them out of seasons of mediocrity.

The Giants fans love Ward. He is all over social media. They have become Hurricanes fans and are watching all of his throws. While it is still early, and trades do happen, it appears as though the Giants fanbase wants Ward as their quarterback.

There is still plenty of season and post-season to go. There is still the NFL Combine in Indianapolis and private workouts.
