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

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
