Good year to have a bad year?

Trying to find a silver lining to the direction of the season.

I predict continued struggles and a late season win streak, leading to missing the playoffs but leaving us with hope.

We have a lot of contracts coming up, and the way some of the key players are performing, they should be much cheaper than they would have been after a successful season.  

Pair this with our billions in cap space, and we should be able to put together an unstoppable roster next year.

This does not mean to give up on the season.  We need to see some real progress from our young players.  Cam needs to get his swag back.  Would love to see Byrd, Shaq, Butler and the conners improve.  

 

The future is still bright.

KK is interesting.. He has been invisible so far, but someone will still overpay in FA.. You'd almost want him to dominate and justify the franchise tag.. He hasn't come close to earning that tag in 16.. You either need to hope for a fair, long term deal during the season or I'm afraid he walks unless he really flips a switch starting next week.

I wonder if anyone would trade for KK right now.

Yes it is, you have 3 inseparable cornerbacks, players on the mend, other teams peaking. I don't think this season is lost but only way we do anything is if Atlanta implodes(Which is quite possible.) losing on home win streak due to the fuging fans though kills our moral. really? a fuggin' half empty stadium, this isn't 2010.

KK and Norwell, who is playing really well, are the only players of any real consequence that are FAs after the year. It's actually the complete damn opposite. This is an awful fuging year to have a bad year. fug you Dave.

I think Gettleman is looking pretty damn smart not having signed KK before the season.

Heres the thing, everyone is so smitten with their stars they only can blame the coach and gm. Fair Weather fans. This coaching staff and group of players got you 3 fuging southern titles in a row, a nfc championship, man of the year, O and D titles, all pros. thats a lot better then year past. Fair Weather Fans man.

Of the two only Norwell should be resigned. KK can take his unimpressive services somewhere else.

It appears that we will need a lot more cap space than we currently have because based on what I've seen so far this season there really needs to be an infusion of motivated players on this team. The current crop with a few exceptions seem to be content with resting on last year's accomplishments.

I remember seeing a post where someone mentioned that JR had a recent meeting with the department heads and ripped into them over the current situation with this team after the Atlanta game. Anyone remember that? I'm curious to know more about that.

Great. He made 1 smart decision. 1 of about 3 he made all offseason and 1 of those 3, cutting Charles Johnson, was nullified when he re-signed him. The other was drafting Bradberry. Everything else he did sucked.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
