Would anyone other than the #1 overall pick still be starting at this point?

So the three picks yesterday was scheme?  Cool story bro.

I mean, opposing defenses have an easy life out there and its leads to potentially big days for every D we will face. 

there isn’t one singular reason for this mess. It’s them all put together.  But that’s 100% part of it, bro.

We have one game to the contrary and it was the one that Bryce was hurt.  Outside of the pre-snap penalties that stymied drives, the offense was able to move the ball.

part of that was also a VERY veteran QB having to throw the most passes in his entire long career vs a meh D for the team to finally post a respectable day.   I mean, even in our "good".....you see the red flags.  And if you replay that game it probably doesn't go as good as Dalton probably got a little lucky vs some of the pressures.  Got to think at that rate they saw and we survived....we don't deal with that as good. 

But yeah, Dalton is better and should be better than Bryce in that scenario.

    • Yeah but at least that QB would be not short.  I keep going back to the fact other than Wilson no other short QB has ever won a Super Bowl. The success rate of short QBs is very, very low. Like count on one hand low.  Yeah some people would include Brees too but I don’t consider a 6 foot tall QB short, imo. 
    • I just rewatched all the highlights from after Bryce being benched. The Bryce hate needs to calm down a little bit. He showed a ton of potential the back half of the year. Same with Legette. They both made great plays when it mattered and a few mistakes when it counted. If we didn’t have a historically awful defense last year we could have ended even a bit better. Going into a brand new season we should be optimistic at least before game one. 2015 no one expected to go anywhere and the team steam rolled the league. I’m not saying that will happen, but hopefully we made strides to improve on the end of last year. Bryce put both Super Bowl teams in a battle last year and if we had a better D we could have taken them both. So at least look forward to the season and not past the season until it at least begins. 
    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
