Pedersen / Daniel has a "I can't quit you" feel to it

I love the stuff the players say about Pederson. It's pretty much universal. We'll see if he can actually coach, but he seems to have the perfect temperament.

I agree with you that something is strange about the whole Daniel/Bradford thing. There's a part of me that would be fine with trading Bradford. Also, you have to figure that Daniel is going to get a chance to start a few games this season. If he looks competent then you can cut bait with Bradford after 1 year and wait until you can draft your future franchise guy.

I like the fact that Bradford is a 2-year deal and Daniel is a 3-year. It gives them flexibility to draft a QB this year and groom him slowly, but also no urgency if a QB doesn't fall to them.

However, none of this matters if Doug can't coach.

Sounds more like Liam Neeson in Taken,



As far as Daniels contract, isn't it basically a two tier contract, base is 21 mill and can elevate to 36 mill. So you have to wonder, did Howie leave himself an "out" in case they/he is looking at offers for Bradford?

Is this why Sanchez is still here? Have no idea, just asking?

Pederson knows what he'll get out of Daniel--it might not be world beating, but at least he knows who'll be under center and with what skills. Given Bradford's odd sample of work in a really weird system under Chip, I don't think any of us (including Pedey) know if Bradford will do very well in the new system. Solid back-up plan.
