I guess it's down to Kelvin Hayden or a CB that is cut

Is Hayden that much of a drop off from Carlos Rogers? Hayden just turned 28 last month and from what I've seen comparing stats, seems like he has played a similar role as Rogers in Washington. Does Hayden fit our scheme? Any speculation on who could be cut from other teams before opening weekend that we could acquire? Gamble as a 1 and Captain in the nickel is okay, but that gaping hole at the #2 spot is rough. Rogers on a 1-year deal for the $$ he got in SF would have fit perfectly, and given us a band-aid until next year when we can address it. Hmmmmm...... decisions decisions.

Hayden would still be our best option at #2 corner. Honestly, I don't think Rivera has any clue how weak our secondary is in a division with three of the best quarterbacks in the league. Mistake #1 for Ron, he's worried about finding a 3rd string QB but he isn't gonna address this glaring need. Get Hayden, he can adapt.

thats the thing i'm fighting in my own mind. i keep on looking at these "glaring" holes that i think we have, esp. with CB and the lack of available talent out there and i get frustrated.

then i have to remind myself of who the HC is. the guy knows what he's doing. i know it's not totally up to him, but i feel good that hurney is doing his best to get the guys that rivera wants. if rivera thinks that we will be alright with the guys that we have or that he can make it work...he knows better than any of us. he knows better than just about anyone in the league. if he thinks it's alright to wait and see what falls with the cuts, the we have to believe that the guy knows what he's talking about and if anyone can make it work, i've got to believe rivera can.

      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.
