Start Christensen and Deonte Brown Next Week. There is no other option.

Moton-Daley-Tecklenburg-Miller-Christensen would be the best option assuming Tecklenburg is better than Paradis. An improvement there helps the guards out tremendously and doesn't start a chain reaction that reaches to the tackles making up for Paradis' mistakes.

You really don’t think Rhule will do this do you?

he strikes me as a little Riveraesque were this is concerned

This OL, as-is, absolutely sucks and will single-handedly ruin the season.  Yes, the defense got gashed today, but the Cowboys are a good team and the game really came down to us not being able to move the ball or score on the last possession of the first half and the first possession of the second half, which was also when Quinn realized if he overloaded the box with pressure that we couldn't stop it.  Then it was a free-for-all.  Fix it, Rhule.  That game shouldn't have went down the way it did.  Don't let it happen again.

I don’t disagree. I would move Moton to the left and start these two. Couldn’t hurt.

Think Sam was hit 10 times today. Sacked 4

Starting Brown wouldn't do anything until you change center. It's hard to tell were the guards stand as they keep having to make up for Paradis.

Not trying to be pessimistic but I don’t think Tecklenburg would be an upgrade over Paradis and Elflein is on IR

As bad as the interior of our offensive line has been, you can't just assume that Christensen and Brown are better or more capable.  They have potential and we all hope they can be.  But for all we know, they are guys that shouldn't be in the league. The coaches--who yes, could be wrong in their evaluation--don't think they give us a better chance to win than the current group they are trotting out.  And they both see how all the players in question perform in practice and know a hell of a lot more about football than all of us.

Someone reminded me Erving has played center before. Might actually be our best option atm. Moton-Daley-Erving-Miller-Christensen to start out in practice and if that helps out the guards, then good. If one of the guards shows to still be weak after the change, then replace either one with Brown.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
