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

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      i am anxious to see what he does with this new situation. i think the schedule is about as favorable as you could hope for the first half of the year. i don't expect a dramatic and quick  improvement, but i do expect improvement.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By rayzor · Posted

      truthfully, when did he have time last year to throw it down field? plays took far too long to develop and the OL gave him no time.  i think we are basing far too much of bryce's assessment on a situation that didn't work out in his favor at all. it was probably the worst situation a rookie QB could have found himself in. the only i can think of who had it worse was David Carr, who had an even worse rookie season than Bryce by a significant margin statistically.  i think most would realize that carr was probably a better QB than his record would show, but he was shell shocked in his first few years because they did nothing to try to help him out. 3 of his 5 years in houston he led the league in sacks. i don't think he would ever have been an elite QB, but had he been in a better situation he probably would have had a better and longer career. point is, i don't think we saw everything that bryce is capable of because he was limited by the situation. but i understand the pessimism most have, because all we really have to go on was what we saw last year. that's why i wait to see what happens with a better situation. i just don't think you can give an accurate assessment of him based on last year. it wouldn't be fair for any rookie, tbh, but for one whos situation was so fugged up i think it's even more unfair. had nothing changed in the situation, you could probably expect more of the same. that's just not the case, though. a whole lot changed for the team and for his situation and i think for the better. it just makes sense that if we improved the situation that he will improve.
