Why can't they just own up to their mistake of drafting Hayden and realize that he's just no good?
hayden will be fine so long as he isn't called upon to play NT.

still should never be started. he wasn't a very high draft pick either. not like they have a lot at stake there.

hayden is only $310,000 this year and a FA next year. not a big deal.

Why did they bother keeping Burton then over Ra'Shon? They obviously knew he was not the answer when we waived Ra'Shon to put him on the practice squad. We got rid of a decent project player for a player we knew we would be trying to replace in a few weeks.

Bit of a head scratcher to waive him for another DT we just acquired. They seem to be getting a bit desperate there, the amount of bodies we have brought in and then discarded is quickly mounting.

In addition, why waive Burton when he was active over Hayden who was not. Just a bit random in my opinion.

He is the only depth we have for the 3 technique. It goes to show how boneheaded this FO was in not getting some depth this off-season behind Kemo. We had a guy that lost weight in the off-season to get quicker in an attempt to be more of a penetration then we put him in a postion that requires strength and size. But they have started to make up for it with all these IMHO great trades.

      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.
