one this for certain, we'll be the favorites to win the South next year

should read "one thing for certain"

 

Bucs are the worst team in football, Falcons cleaning house, Saints

crippled by salary cap issues that limits their ability to improve.

 

They'll have high draft picks, but they ain't got Getty to help 'em choose.

 

Looks like a third straight NFC south title and a trip to the playoffs again.

 

 

so we got that going for us.

 

 

 

which is nice.

We've won this division two straight years all the while being in the worst cap situation in the nfl.

Gettleman with a little bit of cash and his eye for talent in the drafts, and we should own this division.

Atlanta will be decent because of their offense.

New Orleans is on roller skates going backwards do man ice covers hill.

Tampa is Tampa. Rookie QB who needs creativity in play calling for his success stuck with a conservative old school coach. What could go wrong.

I honestly think we take this division over for the next couple years.

I don't think this one will be close. We won't be clear favorites before the season (a lot will pick the Saints or Falcons) but I really think we'll have this division won by week 14 or 15. I honestly think if G-man does what he has done the past two years in the draft and FA (now that we have way more cap room than these past 2 years) then we have potential to be a 12-4/13-3 team. This playoff experience was huge and will help this team in the future. Draft position doesn't matter one bit with Gettleman drafting. I think we'll have a legitimate shot at the Super Bowl in the coming years. I think we are in a similar position to the Seahawks a few years ago. Right on the cusp and need just a few more pieces to take us over the edge.

Disagree, I thought firing him was a mistake. Their GM hasn't given him much to work with and built the team backwards, outside in. Lines are soft and poor.

 

 

fair point, but Mike Smith single handedly lost them the Lions game with clock mismanagement which cost them the division

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
