What do our South rivals need to do to make you worry?

I know we need a quality LT and another solid WR.  If we got both of those and a good SS, then I think we'll be a tough out for anyone.  And I honestly think we're going to be rightfully favored to win the South next year.

 

But I'm curious, which of our weaker rivals concerns you most?  And for that one, what would they need to do to make you really worry about our matchups next year?  Something like Atlanta getting a defense, but be reasonable about it.

I'm fairly confident we can get at least 5 division wins but do realize that we got beat by both the Aints and Falcons at home this year. Far from worried but I wouldn't sleep on any of them. Tampa sucks big time, but who knows maybe they draft Mariota and he becomes a complete stud...

Brees is washed up and eating up too much cap space so the Saints are finished. The Bucs don't have a QB. The Falcons are going into rebuilding mode. The team that can turn things around for next season is the Falcons imo. They could improve their o-line and defense in the off season.

For next season: Atlanta hires Quinn and he gets Gase as his OC. Still not that worried because I don't think they'll be able to fix that defense in Year 1. Rex would have been much more scary to me.

 

For the long-term: Bucs draft Winston. I think Winston is better than Mariota and will be a great QB in the league. I think Mariota will be medicore to a bust.

That's what I was worried about if they had gotten Rex..

Maybe they would be tough instead of just talking about it..

Now they are still a soft team that will wilt as we keep knocking the snot bubble out of them..

Bucs are a QB away from being a decent team

Atlanta is a wealth of defensive players away from being a threat

New Orleans has one more year to compete on the back of Brees. He has to play all pro though to make up for the lack of defensive talent and they are entering cap hell while we are exiting.

I really do not want to see New Orleans beef up their offensive line. When Brees has time to throw or can step up in the pocket, he's dangerous. A better o-line would also improve their running game making them less one dimensional as well. They're pretty strapped for cap space but I want them to keep those overpriced guards.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By SCO96 · Posted

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.

      Clowney released

      By Waldo · Posted

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.
