The competition all camp should've been between Sloter and Paxton for the backup position.  Most telling thing all night was seeing Lynch missing a wide open DT because he lacks the ability to look past his first read.  Trevor gets flak for being "Captain Checkdown" but at least Trevor would've kept that drive alive.

If the 49'ers defense had a modicum of discipline last night Paxton wouldn't have looked as "good" as he did and saying he looked good is a stretch.  I guess that "perfect" practice he had on Thursday that was closed to everyone was a fluke.  Maybe Elway asked his good buddy John Lynch to hold his guys back so Paxton could get a confidence boost?  Has anyone in the NFL been coddled like Paxton?
