and is not focused on our win loss record next year . From watching the our cuts and the draft I see GMAN as trying to put us in a financial/talent place in the future to build a team that can compete for the SB.

 

I was under the illusion in the off season that we would be trying to improve our winning record and path to the superbowl next year but it is clear that GMAN's is looking further in the future and realizes our best chance for a Superbowl run is in the future not next year. After much thought I agree with his approach.This draft proves that.

 

Is his approach right or wrong depends your expectations.......some want it right now and some want a sure thing later.

First thing we improved on was releasing our WR corp,  that was one of the worst units in the NFL.

 

 

 

Tackle,  we'll see what happens.   Guard has been upgraded just with the guys healing up and getting back on the field,  from IR. 

 

 

Defense has been bolstered.

At some points last year.  didn't we have like 6 rookies playing at the same time on defense?  Still,  we had the #2 defense...  those rookies are a year older with more experience now.

 

 

Stewart may actually play in more than 2 or 3 games this season...  which will be a huge upgrade to our offense,  within itself.

Just a value based draft. Don't read into it too much

Well if you factor in our off season cuts it should be clear we want to be competitive but not expecting to win a SB next year

Not rebuilding year at all. We'll definitely (even with an injury or two --unless its Luke ) have a top 5 defense, possibly best. AND we have a franchise QB, 1st round WR, #2 WR in Cotch, #3 in Avant, Greg Olsen, 3 great RBs when healthy, finally a solid starter at RG. Regardless of tackle (which we could still get Hurst or Richardson as UDFA) we should have a formidable offense.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not sure why everyone keeps talking about the Panthers paying him $50M/year. I don't recall anyone EVER saying he deserves that. I think something like what the Dolphins signed Malik Willis to would be good: 3 years, $67.5M but it will probably be something along the lines of Mayfield or Darnold which is around $35M/year.

      Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
