I already knocked on wood, we good

Quote

Who is the best team in the league? Most responses usually involve the Cardinals. What did we see the last time they were on the field for a real football game? Arizona getting shellacked by Carolina. Now, it's fair to say the Panthers aren't the most talented team in the league. Yet, every team in the top five lugs some problems. Ron Rivera's biggest issue is that he will be playing kids in the secondary. Just remember two things: 1) CB Bene' Benwikere was hurt when this team made the Super Bowl, and 2) much of what Cam Newton accomplished last season was with the core of an 0-13 fantasy team. Kelvin Benjamin regresa.

Our offense is starting to look like an NBA team, but we're lacking in talent? AZ is not that talented, especially with grandpa Palmer stinking it up back there. Seattle is our main threat. They'll be there trying to knock us out of the playoffs.

I feel like the rest of the NFL media only remembers KB, and that we have a bunch of scrubs elsewhere...

Let's also remember that the NFL media really doesn't love the idea of a dominate NFC team.  Looking around at preseason Playoff Brackets (one of the most useless exercises in human history!), we're going to get there, but we'll never beat Green Bay, AZ or Seattle...  According to guys whose job it is to write about the NFL.

At least things have changed a bit: we're not an expected playoff team, just not the best team.  I guess everyone felt like we over achieved last season, and since we don't have the coolest story line, we're not good enough to make it.

Fug'em.  I can't wait for Thursday night!  Let's go and show'em we're ready for primetime again this year!

    • Obviously the new FO has only been in charge for a couple years but they have not broken from past trends.  
    • Rookie Bryce: Mingo, Thielen, DJ Chark as his WRs ...we won 2 games.  2nd Year Bryce: XL is drafted and becomes Bryce's #1 target in 24...we won 5 games (kinda suprising tho) 3rd Year Bryce: Tmac is drafted and becomes Bryce's #1 with Coker in the mix in '25.. we managed to win the division and make the playoffs. ..8 wins 4th Year Bryce: TBD ..... but we do need another reliable option at the position. Maybe not at 19 (unless its Cooper or Lemon) but somewhere within the top 100.   We are one injury away from reverting back to 23-24 status or worse. And if we dont happen to get substantial gains after this draft atleast we'll have the offense in a great spot to drop in our future QB.  Tmac, Coker, Leggette, Horn Jr, Metchie. I'd be willing to rock with the above but they could def stand an upgrade. An argument could be made at TE too.   
    • You're also underestimating Calipari in those scenarios. Calipari can say to a kid "I've put more impactful players into the NBA than any school over the last 20 years".  Michael Malone can tout that he was run out of the NBA for not understanding impactful players.  I wouldn't count any chickens yet on top recruiting classes and deep tournament runs.  On a side note, can't remember where, but saw some interview where the guy was saying the NBA All Star Game should be the USA vs World vs Kentucky - and then proceeded to list the players in the league from Kentucky who would legit give an All Star team a run for their money.  Pretty impressive what Cal did at Kentucky, not impressive on him not getting more nattys.
