1. Deangelo is a perennial pro bowl feature back.

2. We have no QB.

3. Good RB's are much easier to draft than good QB's

4. Hurney/Fox would never have even drafted Stewart if they understood what they had in Deangelo.

5. Mike Goodson is a baller

This is a direct and correct indictment of Hurney. I said at the time if Hurney takes Stewart then DWill (In his mind) was a failed pick and Hurney needs to go. Only teams like the Lions keep drafting a position (in their case wide receiver) over and over with your first pick.

That being said, Stewart is injury prone, has not participated in 2 training camps or very many weekly practices. You aren't going to approach the 13th pick we spent on him I believe. But with DWill, Stew is a luxury we can afford to give up for one we can't do without. A quality starting Quarter Back.

No..

1.jstew is the power back..Dwill can do it.but we have seen lot of times were he stutter steps and gets caught behind the line..

trade peppers or sign campbell and take a QB in the 2nd or 3rd.

You cannot trade Peppers. He would have to sign his FT again this offseason early enough for us to trade him. He won't like last offseason and we'll be on the hook for 20 million dollars. Peppers must walk.

Agreed. Trade Stewart in the offseason and get someone like a Kolb or a 1st round pick. But, the new question is who needs a RB?

Teams I can think of:

- Kansas City: They will probably hold on to the draft pick tho

- Houston: Including them due to Slaton's fumbling problems

- Seattle: Chances are they would want to hold on to that pick to get a QB

- San Diego: Who do they have behind Tomlinson? And would you have Sproles be the feature back?

That's all I can think of. I didn't include Philly because I'd think they would want to see what they have in McCoy.

I hate the thought of trading Stewart; but the reality is how long will he want to be here or vice versa would Williams want to - generally franchise type backs want to be the featured back and desire to move on. That being said I am AGAINST trading either or even Smith for a 1st round pick next year because that would just compound the mistake of trading that pick to draft E.Brown.

Now if some deal presents itself to get a young franchise type QB for Stewart I would probable jump all over that. (ie If they could have sent him to Denver for Cutler) That is just an example. I dont think that was possible because they wanted a QB in return. But some kind of deal like that I would ok with. Otherwise, keep him next year, draft a QB in round 2, bring in a Free Agent QB, then even look at drafting a QB round 1 in 2011. I just dont like the idea of trading Stewart for a 1st round next year to draft a QB.

Also I'd like to point out an obvious flaw in your argument:

If good RBs are so much easier to draft than QBs, then what makes you think somebody will trade a promising young QB who has shown something, for a gently used RB?

exactly. RBs are easy to find. Why trade away a promising young QB to us for an injury prone RB......

They would just keep there QB talent and draft a young RB. Look at how many teams have multiple RBs right now. The NFL is changing and QB/WRs is where the gold is.....RBs are too easy to find and replace now.

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

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
