At this point, I would rather have Scoot on the PS than Wegher. 

I was thinking the same thing. Of all the backs tonight Wegher looked the worse. He did not look elusive or decisive especially inside. Payne flashed and ran North and South while Simmons ran well and bowled over people. Wegher looked like practice squad material at best.

Well, to be fair, blocking hasn't been the best for Wegher. That being said, I think that Wegher had an abnormal amount of undue goodwill in the bank based upon last preseason. As a result I belueve expectations were based more on fantastic hype than actual reality. Wegher looked pretty average in my opinion this preseason.

But Payne had the same blocking as Wegher in the first half and far outplayed him. And Simmons had the same blocking in the second half and did more with it. It isn't the blocking so much as Wegher can't elude tacklers and goes down with first contact. He looks nothing like he did last year

      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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      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.
