"You have to think long term as well as short term," Gettleman said. "That’s really what it was. We feel that Brandon has got a chance to be a really good back.

 

I said it a few days ago and got a ribbing for it, but next season the Artis-Payne / Wegher combo is the new double trouble.... and will be more effective than the old one was in many seasons.

I mentioned on Twitter, Wegher looks like Stewart's much cheaper replacement.

at about 1/10th the price

Goes along with my short-term vs. long-term contract theory. Makes sense to keep the cheaper guy who's locked in for 3 years.

It appears Gettleman sees the obvious. Running games are built with an offensive line first followed by good scouting for later round runners.

But... but... Gettleman did nothing in our offseason to improve our OLine.  Oher are you kidding me?  And some 3rd round rookie and those no name guys off the street from last year.  Obviously G'man has no clue how to scout OLine talent.

At their peak and when healthy Double Trouble was one of the best RB tandems in NFL history. CAP and Wegher may be a great tandem but they aren't as talented. Let's go easy on the hyperbole

It's certainly a possibility that the team looks to move on from Stewart if his play doesn't match his contract, or he gets hurt again. But if Stewart can stay healthy, he should have a few more productive years left in him. He's still only twenty eight. With him and Artis-Payne as our one-two punch, we have an exciting pairing going forwards. 

Wegher has shown promise in preseason, but he first has to prove himself in regular season when he gets his opportunities. If he takes them, maybe he carves out a bigger role for himself, but it will be difficult to see him surpass Artis-Payne and Stewart unless one of them struggle.

The Steelers radio team said it best, 'This run game allows them to eat the clock and impose their will on teams' or something like that

To be fair, Double Trouble were only fearsome for about two years, otherwise they were injured or underperforming.

I love your enthusiam but the talent level is compeltey different between the two, people will realize how valuable Stewart will be once the season gets rolling.

If only they were half as good as the legend that surrounds them today! 

It was one season and really just half that season in 2008. They were good no doubt, but time removed has inflated the greatness dramatically

Thank you for paying attention. 

The myth is so much greater than the reality ever was. Deangelo wasn't worth much for the past few seasons and Stew was often injured.
