OK, so how bout this

Looking at the offense we have and the production so far, this is what/who I see that has made some sort of impact to the game.

Smitty - always a threat

D-Will - averaging 4.2 yds per carry

Goodson - averaging 4 yds per carry and 12 yds per catch

Rosario and Gettis - each averaging 10 yds per catch

so I see this as a very competitive lineup regardless of QB. Throw in another WR or TE to complete the lineup.

So why are we not running Goodson as a wing back or slot? Why are we foresaking D-Will's rushing threat to bring in Goodson? As I see it, both should be on the field to present a rushing threat at the same time we present a passing threat! I'm no OC, but seems to me that the more threats you put on the field, the defense has to respect them. if you are displaying a balanced run/pass threat - the D has to equally defend both. I see too many times when it so obvious whether we are running or passing.

If Goodson in the slot or on the wing can pose a threat to the secondary, could this possibly loosen the coverage on Smitty? Possibly pull some pressure from stacking the box? If D-Will is a cutback runner and Goodsen can pull some attention - then you really don't need the FB to lead block - so add Goodson to the primary offensive threat. Add J-Stew to the mix and you have 3 interchangeable threats.

As for the D - the big thing there is for them not to be on the fileld so long and so much - that gets fixed by a better offense.

OK, so how bout this? Does it make sense?

well, not sure I could stand being a coach on that level - my BP would boil over because I would not be "golf clapping" on the side line after a blown coverage. I had a hard enough time with people that played for free - I'd have no tolerance for a multi-million $$$$ player being in lala land.

    • 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 well 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.
