Draft is done and all the big free agency moves are over. We all know basically what each team has to work with now. Which team will give us the biggest test and is the most improved in the division. Put on your tin foil hats and predict the future.

Atlanta. Still some formidable talent on that squad and improved in the areas they needed.

Just a matter of whether Quinn is a good coach or if he's a product of that sheer talent on the Seattle defense. Also, that offensive line still needs an overhaul and that wasn't addressed in the draft.

Division will end up in this bold prediction:

1. Carolina - pretty obvious choice B)

2. Atlanta - fast team with no physicality, a do or die the next two years for Matty to deliver for the franchise

3. Tampa Bay - starting to settle, trending up or just be the Bucs like always

4. NO - LOL stand back and watch the death the next couple years of the Sean Payton era. When the defensive coordinator Ryan was kept and mediocre draft with team roster blown up, all I can say is it is good to be a Panthers fan.

Agree with Atlanta.  New coach, new defensive talent, dangerous offense especially if they focus on the run game again.  New Orleans is ripe to implode and Tampa is probably 2 seasons away until Winston develops more.

There is so much up in the air right now.

 

How good a head coach will Dan Quinn be? (and will his O-Line be any better)

 

What are the Saints gonna be like after trading away guys like Graham and Kenny Stills and remaking their roster?

 

Will Jameis Winston boom or bust?

 

Lots and lots of unknown right now.

Taints

Failcons

Yucks

 

Taints losses in passing game are balanced by gains in run game; D-line hurt last year is getting healthy

Failcons struggle early with new blocking and defense schemes; will improve later in season if they stay healthy

Yucks depending on rookie QB and rookie O-Line; no pass-rushing DEs and shaky secondary

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      Well, he either plays well or we suck again and get the #1 pick and get our new QB for next year.  Im not stressing.

      the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...
