I'm not talking about last year. I'm talking about what they're doing in this draft, which is very impressive. We have all seen how quickly things can change in the NFL so don't count them out because of last year.

 

As for Njoku, why would they draft him in the 1st round and not start him? This is what teams do when they're rebuilding.

Because Njoku is raw as hell. They took the best prospect in the draft at #1 overall, but they still don't have a QB. If they had planned to draft a QB at #8 or a trade up from #8, then they probably should've just taken the guy at #1 instead. As long as they don't have a QB they won't be able to consistently compete. The other two guys they drafted are both very talented, but also very raw.

We walked away from Captain, that didn't stop him from returning.

We walked away from Ted Ginn, that didn't stop him from returning.

I see your point, but I don't think he would be against coming back. Just depends on what he wants to do at this stage of his career.

The only issue here is that I'm not sure we walked away from Captain or Ginn. I think they walked away from us. In Captain's case, he got a wayyyy better offer than he could have gotten here. Ginn is just a mercenary and is going to take whatever contract has the most zeros. From Gary's tweet, he emphasized opportunity with Cleveland... which seems to suggest he didn't get much of one before that. Maybe I'm reading too much into that, but I don't know if I would feel comfortable as a player signing on with zero hope of being the starter at 32 and this being basically your last chance to cash out somewhat big.

    • The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at. 
    • If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep
    • I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
