I remember Fozzy de cleating Chandler Jones on a block in the Patriots game. There are worse things than him being on the team over Wegher. It's a great problem to have - not worth too much worry. 

The offensive line should get more for the credit for our backs blowing up in preseason. 

He had a good block on a blitz pickup last night too.

I just think if any player is the next Gettis, it's Fozzy. He's mediocre, but people want to over rate him because he has a good story. 

What is so good about his story?

 

Heres another play. Without it the team does not go to the playoffs.

When I think Fozzy I don't think 'story,' I don't even know what his story is. I just know that he makes plays and is a threat to score every time the ball is in his hands.

Wegher is the 'story' guy, the Pittsburgh announcers were talking about it last night, how he was in trouble with the law and just wants his chance.

On this Fozzy vs. Wegher argument...

I will post this with the shame it demands, but the devil in the back of my head last night offered up the thought of us cutting/trading Stewart and rolling with Artis-Payne, Fozzy, Todman, and Wegher...

I could see that happening... I wouldn't think it'd be very smart. But one could make an argument, no matter how small it is perceived, that there are benefits to getting rid of Stewart.

I love the dude and want him to be a Panther, but there always remains a chance that Gettleman could pull something like that.

I honestly wouldn't mind at all if that happened, but this is the last year on his contract that would hurt us a good deal to cut him during. We can next year and save money, this year it would cost. And nobody is going to trade anything for him, probably not even a conditional pick to take on that contract.

Wegher has been 4th string all preseason and has looked good.  Fozzy has been running with the 2nd string and has been playing good.  If you can't see the difference there I can't help you.  You can say what you want but at the end of the day the coaching staff is going to prove me right.

I was actually trying to find the numbers of what it would cost us before posting that, but my Google-Fu was failing... Any idea what the numbers look like? I also can't remember if we were to trade him if we would be on the hook for anything other than about $2 million that we'd owe him in guaranteed money (I think he had like $23 million in guarantees and we've paid him like $21 of that so far as best I can tell?)

      Alejandro Avila: Are We Really About To Hand Offensive Rookie Of The Year To An 'Okay' Receiver?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Adam Thielen had 1000 yards with rookie Bryce. I guess he's using that as comparison. Just kidding. Calm down.

      We definitely improved from 2024 to 2025, to me the results were less important than the roster in that regard. It's better. It's still a very bad roster but continuing to be better is the goal. The changes we are talking about at QB are about spending LESS resources. Not picking up Bryce's 5th is a big potential savings. Significantly better QB's have been had in recent years for half or less than what Bryce will get in 2026. To say nothing of an extension(the ridiculous subject of this thread) which would cripple roster building by saddling it with a bloated QB contract for an awful QB. The price for Bryce, I mean who is even making that argument anymore? I don't think you are seeing anyone in this thread discussing trading up to #1 for Mendoza.  We are talking about cheap backup and FA QB's and Day 2 and 3 draft guys. That is literally tied to the idea of roster building. IMPROVE at QB while you build the roster so that we can actually potentially attract a franchise QB or when you make that big move up(SF for Lance) that your roster is so good that the impact is largely negated.  After all, improving over Bryce is an extremely low bar to hit. Let's not assume that standing pat would have resulted in a sudden spurge in good decision making. Don't forget who was making all those roster calls at the time. Bryce or not, we would have fuged it up in some way because we had idiots at the helm. We may still yet. Also, it's easy to say we can't get in the habit of switching QB's like that but there are also plenty of situations where that flip was the correct decision. Richardson to Jones, Rosen to Murray, Fields to Williams, Lance to Purdy(technically some nuance to this), etc. There is no real danger of Bryce leaving and suddenly becoming an elite QB. We all do know this, no matter how big of a Bryce stan you may be. His ceiling is middling game manager. So there isn't some crazy risk of moving on.

      Honestly. You can see it on the field. Bryce will literally skip a pass on the ground rather than throw a contested catch to XL. Especially when it's one where XL would have to fight back to the ball. Coker is actually really good at that. Coker lacks real NFL speed (not a small thing), but he maxes out in most other categories.
