This Season May Actually Be A Blessing In Disguise

No Superbowls are guaranteed. You'd be naive to think so. Would you rather have multiple shots at the superbowl, or just this one season, where there are so many good teams in the NFC, and the AFC with the Patriots being better than ever?'

Your argument is invalid.

*EDIT: Imagine we actually made all these moves, and made it to the Superbowl, and lose in high fashion yet again. What then? How will we possibly go back now, with all the contracts coming up? We've wasted the future in hopes for an opportunity this one present season.

All things you said for the future about DG extending this extending that probably has high chance of not happening also  with DG mentality of playing hard ball we could just end up being just being a team  with poo ton of money and no elite talent.  But good thing in life is that what matters is Reality and DG failed hard

we dont need an oliver vernon we could of got a mid priced  freeagent to do the job . the whole goal is winning the superbowl why would we rebuild again when our window is closing down .

We've technically been in rebuilding mode, last season was pretty much an unexpected surprise. Our DEs and Tackles were weak, but Gettleman has done the best he could to salvage what he could. Effectively I think we're contenders as soon as next season with where we're at. Dave is thinking long term, and I can see the reason behind it.

i hope so but hes going to need to spend alot instead of being so cheap , free agency is key but gettleman just ignored it this year

I hate the "next year" talk. Screw that noise. The fact is we are losing right here and now right after a Super Bowl 2 loss sesaon, there is something highly wrong with that picture. If anything this season should be teaching you nothing is guaranteed, you don't know who we are going to sign, release, draft next year or if it will have any positive impact whatsoever on winning football games. So what they could resign a bunch of our currents guys, so we can just lose more next year? alrighty. 

You do realize if we lose some of those so called "same guys" like Trai, KK, Kelvin, Star, etc, we'd have a whole lot new problems than if we wait one year, take care of those problems and others in one go. Every year there'd be another position of issue from your logic.

The real problem to me is that ron/gettleman overvalue some players on the team that do not deserve it.. players such as tolbert, CJ, remmers, boston, and dickson... those players are damaging the team with their poor play and the sad thing is there were FAs to be had out there that could have done better than them.. I just want them to cut loose the dead weight and stop being so fuging loyal.. it's not a family, it's a business.

Gettleman set us up for multiple superbowl appearances in the future, in exchange for sacrificing this season. If the opposite occurred, we'd be out of contention as soon as next season with these contracts coming up. Basically as soon as next season expect to be good for multiple seasons.

A well run team would never sacifice a season.

Window is closing?!? Cam, Luke, and KK retiring in the next couple of years?

most all GMs do think on future.  noting groundbreaking there.  no way you are going to convince anybody that gentleman saw 1 win going into the bye week though.  now the guy basically is gonna have to make some moves next year or risk getting shitcanned waiting on the supposed masterplan the OP speaks of to pan out.  

solid franchises are run by GMs who give their coaches the best mix of personnel to work with year in and year out.  gman didn't do anything close to that this offseason.  spinning it anyway other than an epic failure is just dressing up a pile of horse poo.

Great post Saca. Maybe it's the optimist in me but that's how I see it as well. 

Fans understandably get impatient but the long view is what's important in my eyes. We are taking our lumps this year but hopefully learning lessons. I believe we can make it to the big show again just going to take some patience to work our  way back up.

Well spending everything on just resigning the same losing personnel isn't going to do you favors either. It could be useful if we actually also get a quality OT, CB, and DE (or 2), and Saftey. But just resigning, relying on crapshoot draft picks isn't enough. Need to get  quality proven talent to help your roster

    • Have they though? I'll give you KC with Kelce, but c'mon, they weren't winning those SB's because they had a great TE, it was a combination of Mahomes and some great defenses.  Will also give you the 49ers and Ravens with Kittle and Andrews, but even then, both have missed time with injuries the last few years. After those 3 teams, the best teams of the last 2-3 years have not had elite TEs The Eagles had Goedert, he's good, not great. The Bills have also had good but not great TE's The Rams have had average TEs and still consistently run 2 and 3 TE sets with them and still win. The Bucs have been winning the South without a great TE The Lions' Laporta is more a name than a highly productive TE. The Texans have had a serviceable TE in Shultz, but nothing too amazing. Some of the best TE's in the league the last few years have been on some of the worst teams.  McBride, Bowers, Warren, Njoku, even Pitts this past year. A true elite TE is absolutely a weapon in today's game, but I think the best teams use that money elsewhere and find serviceable TE play, usually through a committee where each TE brings something else to the table.
    • When it comes to evaluating talent, the equation is actually pretty simple. If you're elite in both the measurable traits (size, speed, strength) and the mental side (IQ, instincts), you're looking at a Hall of Fame trajectory—assuming injuries don't derail you. If you're elite in one area but just decent in the other, you can still carve out a Pro Bowl career. Decent in both? That's your typical NFL starter. But here's where it gets tricky—and where a lot of athletes, especially the ones who dominate practices, find their ceiling. If you're not a starter and you don't excel on special teams, you won't last in this league. The roster math is unforgiving. That "what if" game has been playing out in Carolina for a while now, especially at wide receiver. You've got guys who light it up in practice—everything looks smooth, natural, effortless. But when the lights come on and the defense throws a look they haven't seen on tape, the processing slows down. The game speeds up. And when they have to think instead of just react, they crumble. That's the danger. Put a player like that on the field—any position, really—and expect him to process on the fly, and you're setting him up to fail. Now factor in that he was a top-10 pick, not some late-round flier or UDFA. A franchise invested everything in him. They moved pieces around, changed coaching, changed systems—tried everything to help him succeed. But here's the reality check: if he's out there, remember that the guys lining up across from him are also getting paid millions. And their job is to find that weakness and exploit it every single snap.
    • I think he'd make a good QB spy role in those mobile QB games, like Chicago. Just send him at Caleb every play.
