Bucs, Falcons and Saints all look like complete garbage

Agree.  After KB went down, like most, I felt like my dog died for a few days.  I'm over it now.  That's football.  Survive and Advance, 3 Peat, and, with a D and running game hopefully in sync with a healthy Cam, a chance against anyone in Jan/Feb to bring the ring to CLT for the first time.

Saints are 0 - 3 in pre-season.  Sweet.  Even with our Offense troubles, look at the difference in points scored.

It's a bit surprising we've allowed 71 points, but after the way our D played on Friday, I don't expect the same thing come regular season.

Brees was in for one drive today and they managed to get a FG on that drive. 

 

Last week Brees played the 1st quarter and put up 15 on the Pats.

 

Not sure how that's looking like crap. I think the Saints are the biggest threat in the division, Cooks is healthy and Browner and Lewis are a legit corner duo.

If it's any consolation, the NFC West looks worse right now, though I don't necessarily expect that to continue:

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
