With the intriguing battles at WR & RB this season, I am curious who Huddlers would like to see on the final roster. IF you were the coach, who would you choose to keep at this point in the pre-season?

1. Jonathon Stewart
2. Cameron Artis-Payne

I would love to see Mike Brown and Boykin get reps earlier in the game against defensive starters.  Same with Wegher.  I think Ward should take Brockels spot, allowing us to still keep either 4 RB or 6 WR.  Brockel adds nothing to this team...he is not an offensive weapon and is a below average blocker.

Is there any chance we keep 5 RBs/FBs and 5 WRs (with Joe Webb being a #6)?

I'd love to see us keep either:

Stew, CAP, Wegher, Todman, Tolbert  or Stew, CAP, Wegher, Tolbert & Ward.

I really only like 4 WRs on this list at the moment:

Ginn, Funchess, Corey Brown (though he looked awful last night) and now Boykin.

I'm not adverse to keeping Bersin or Cotch as #5.  Mike Brown showed some flash tonight, and Byrd's obviously got some promise too.

But with KB and Hill's injuries, what was once an incredibly exciting WR battle has me now feeling somewhat underwhelmed.  I can only hope Funchess really steps up and becomes a real bright light this season.

Well to be fair, Stewart is making 8 million this year, Tolber makes about 2 million and everyone else makes less than a million.

 

Maybe they used money as a factor...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think we'd actually save any money (or minimal amounts) if we cut him.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
