Headed For Greatness?


Recommended Posts

Just a random bye week thread, but this team could very well be headed towards greatness within the next couple of years.

 

Think about, say, 3 years down the line. These guys will all likely be in their primes, or at least close to their primes, assuming we can keep the vast majority of them for a couple more years.  

  • Cam
  • Luke
  • Kelvin
  • J-No - Hopefully?
  • Bene
  • KK/Star
  • Shaq
  • Trai Turner
  • Andrew Norwell
  • Mike Remmers
  • Philly
  • Tre Boston
  • Brad Nortman (Lol.)

 

And then hopefully we can keep most of these guys around for the next few years as experienced vets/mentors/locker room guys.

  • Greg Olsen
  • Thomas Davis - Hopefully he can keep playing for another few years.
  • Ryan Kalil
  • Graham Gano?
  • JJ Jansen for HOF Class of 2025

 

Additionally, at least a handful of these young, unproven guys are bound to pan out and prove themselves soon enough.

  • Funchess
  • CAP/Whegher/Fozzy - Surely one will pan out?
  • Ealy
  • Delaire
  • Mayo
  • Marlowe
  • Daryl Williams

 

If we can keep a good amount of the guys from these lists together for the next 3-5 years, not to mention our future draft choices and potential free agent pickups, we can be serious Super Bowl contenders year in and year out for at least the next half decade. All we need is good health and some improvement in the realm of offensive play calling.

 

Our future is bright, my friends. We might have a Lombardi or two on our shelf by 2020.

Good thing is that Norman is the only be free agent we have this upcoming offseason. Other than him it's just a handful of role players and backups, nobody that would be too expensive or a huge loss.

Roman Harper

Mike Tolbert

josh Norman

Peanut Tillman

Mike Remmers

Ryan Delaire

Kyle Love

Brenton Bersin

Amini Silatolu

I know alot of these guys are back ups. but these are guys the coaching staff either likes, or play large roles for this team. its more than just one person. I also realize that most of these guys arent going to command huge paydays. JNo should be our sole focus this coming offseason. Remmers, Tillman, and Tolbert should be close runners up. I dont mind keeping Harper around, if they use him correctly, which they finally seem to be. Delaire flashed on sunday, but i need to see a full season of work from him before i say we should pay the man. Silatolu isnt a bad backup, but should never again be expected to start. Kyle Love has been a surprise this season so far. We should find a way to retain him, but it shouldnt take much money

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
