Todman to Steel City


Cape Fear Cat

Recommended Posts

I'm not gonna lie, I kind of regret that move.  It probably is the one I have the most questions about.  I really had no big emotional tie to any guy at RB, but I thought Todman brought a welcomed new dimension to our offense.  I like all the guys we kept too, but I seriously hope Wegher turns out to be worth the gamble.

yeah after the move was made yesterday I almost started having buyers remorse with Wegher.

I like Deangelo and wish him well he is a quality human being, but I dont see what the Steelers were thinking unless they are going to use him for screen passes or short passes or something. He is still quick and elusive in space, but he just isnt a RB1 because he cant hit the hole through the line anymore. He needs to play on a team with a roadgrading line like Dallas as a homerun RB behind a bruiser like Gore or Brandon Jacobs was.

I would not be surprised if Todman has a more traditional RB role than D-lo has on that team. I cant remember how good their o-line is right now, they are usually good but they have lost M. Pouncey to injury. They probably got two equal backs for a very uneaqual price. lol

the girlfriend is a Steelers fan and a legitimate football fan and has been saying the D is hot garbage for weeks, so they better hope the O can score

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
