So no need to respond to the poll thread. 

Unfortunately true.  I was interested to see who Huddlers would pick.  I posted the poll about 5-10 minutes before the news of Horton's being waived hit Twitter.  Oh well.

A bit surprised by this move given our poor Dline play recently...

Of all our mediocre pas rushers, he's by far the most pedestrian at pass rushing.

Agreed, but I had the impression he was strong against the run, and we've shown some weakness in that area too.  Altogether our Dline chemistry seems to be off, not just the pass rush (though that weakness has been most noticeable).

This team is falling apart.. Man I'm very worried about the trajectory of this team and the trend right now. Key guys are mentally checked out and mentally exhausted (Cam, Keek and Norman) we literally have no pass rush, depleted secondary..

We are still suspect after a bye, don't be surprised to see a Cardinals level type meltdown game in the divisional round. Fug!

    • Yeah but at least that QB would be not short.  I keep going back to the fact other than Wilson no other short QB has ever won a Super Bowl. The success rate of short QBs is very, very low. Like count on one hand low.  Yeah some people would include Brees too but I don’t consider a 6 foot tall QB short, imo. 
    • I just rewatched all the highlights from after Bryce being benched. The Bryce hate needs to calm down a little bit. He showed a ton of potential the back half of the year. Same with Legette. They both made great plays when it mattered and a few mistakes when it counted. If we didn’t have a historically awful defense last year we could have ended even a bit better. Going into a brand new season we should be optimistic at least before game one. 2015 no one expected to go anywhere and the team steam rolled the league. I’m not saying that will happen, but hopefully we made strides to improve on the end of last year. Bryce put both Super Bowl teams in a battle last year and if we had a better D we could have taken them both. So at least look forward to the season and not past the season until it at least begins. 
    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
