Interim: Scott Turner, Plus other talent to evaluate

Recommended Posts

We have a young guy that is obviously being groomed for a future in the league. He's 37, has made Allen look respectable, Cam look in MVP form early last season, so why not see what he can do?

You never know when you have a guy hiding in plain sight.  Now is the time to evaluate if we have talent hiding behind Ron and his preferred vets.  He may just be Norv's son, but maybe there's more.  Cam really liked him, Kyle fits his system but maybe he could add some nuance to his dad's sometimes archaic ways.   

We also need to take a hard to look at the following guys:

  • Dennis Daley (continued eval for a OT starter)
  • Ian Thomas (Looked good last season, would like to see where he's at)
  • Jordan Scarlett (He'll be 24 next season...we need to see if we have something or not)
  • Tyler Larsen (He may have a nice backup contract but I'd like to really see if he could be a starter)
  • Jermaine Carter (We're still playing 4-3 mostly, get him on the field)

And for gawd sake, get Burns and Miller on the field.  BURNS and MILLER please.

Yeh it just makes sense to make him the interim. He might be a star.

I think it makes a ton of sense.  I would do it now but in a business sense, I think it makes sense to give him a shot once we're officially out of playoff contention.  He could get in 2-4 games this year for us.

    • I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan 
    • Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.
    • I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
