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

I think that it doesn't matter what other teams do as long as we upgrade our team to be able to compete with the top teams in the league. The teams that make me worried are those that dominate us every year. The pittsburghs, the green bays, the seattles that wear us out every year. If we can hang with them then our division doesn't scare me at all. But as long as the only games we can win are weak sisters in and out of our division we are not going to be able to duplicate our success of 2013.

We did indeed have a big Manziel advocate on board last year but I forget who. Pretty sure it wasn't Rum.

 

Maybe someone else remembers.

 

 

There were a couple, and yeah I don't think it was RUm, I was just messin with him.

TB - Drafts a QB who turns about to be good.

Atlanta - Gets a coach who pulls a Dallas with their defensive i.e. turns a defense that has no stars and is supposed to be historical bad into something respectable.

Saints - Payton and Brees re-capture their old home-field advantage. Heck they managed to win a superbowl by being really good in a dome. 

 

Don't see anything of those things happening, but that's what would scare me.

I'm the least worried about the Saints. Their window is closing fast, and I could not be happier. Can't stand Ryan and the Falcons, but if they plug some holes, they are an 8 and 8 team. Tampa has the opportunity to be vastly improved going forward. I believe they take Winston, and I have no doubt he will quickly become a franchise QB. If not for the off the field stuff, everyone would be saying the same things they said about Luck just a few years ago.

 

I honestly believe the Panthers will win the NFC South for the next two years. After that, the Bucs will be our closest competition for the division. Go Panthers!

bucs: get a stud QB and lovie pick up an aggressive minded OC and himself turn into an aggressive minded coach.

 

saints: a miraculous fixing of their cap, brees find the fountain of youth, them to live up to the hype they seem to generate yearly

 

falcons: a HC that actually wants to be there who isn't overrated from being in the right place at the right time (gase/quinn) and them to somehow pick up a stud future HoF TE, an OL that isn't broken, steal all the personnel from a top 5 defensive team, and matty ice hit puberty.

Last year the Falcons, Saints, and Bucs defenses were bottom 8 in the league in yards per game, yards per play, points per game, first downs allowed per game, and opponent third down percentage. In many of these categories the Falcons and Saints were 31st and 32nd. So I guess the only thing that would really concern me immediately would be massive free agent expenditure on defense by those teams. The Saints are totally cap screwed. Worse than we've ever been. The Bucs and Falcons have some room but it doesn't look like they can support a big acquisition or two and still hang on to core players that need to be resigned.

      Ekwonu doesn’t get dog walked under 2 minutes in the 4th, we drive, kick a FG and win

      A lot of young QB's struggle with holding on to the ball top long. He has gotten better progressively in that regard. Pocket Time(in Sec):  2.5(2023), 2.3(2024), 2.2(2025) Time to Throw(in Sec): 2.9(2023), 2.79(2024), 2.82(2025) The divedends have been fairly small, is the issue.

      I'm firing DC, though I think it actually makes the job less attractive. He's not prepared to be a HC and it's showed. A new HC is not going to be tied automatically to BY. He's going to want to bring in some level of competition in the QB room because anyone who has ever watched football knows our QB room is lacking. If he doesn't, that tells a more interesting tale of who's really calling the shots.  Dave hasn't been decisive enough in game and that leadership council BS has trust fall vibes. Our offense has been pathetically stale and vanilla. Our run game while good has made no sense based on who has been playing best. Our defense is improved but they can't be expected to hold opposing teams to below 17 a game because our offense can't score consistently.  We've beaten some teams we shouldn't have beaten, specifically GB and the Rams, and I think our record doesn’t accurately reflect where the team and the coaching really is. We've fallen flat against a geriatric rookie QB leading a 2-10 NO team and got our ass handed to us TWICE. We're unprepared for the biggest games.  This is what happens though when real coaching candidates turn down interviews because your owner is a narcissistic butthole. You get someone no one else bothered to call and you get the results everyone else would have expected if they had.

      The Saints would be 2-12 if not for us. We are 50% of their wins. A organization serious about the playoffs does not get bullied by a sh*t team like the Saints TWICE. It's over my brotha.
