Shannon Sharpe Says NFC South Will Feature Three Playoff Teams

So if a player cant rush the passer in preseason he's just going to flip a switch when it counts. Gotcha 

 

Let me put it this way. How many Preseason games have you watched? How many times has a kid WOWED you? Now, how many times has that kid disappeared?

 

This is why the evaluation process is so difficult. There are work-out warriors that wow you. There are Training Camp warriors that wow you. There are Preseason warriors that wow you. But you have to be able to sift through all that.

 

The league in general is getting better at talent evaluation. But as a whole. The fan base is still lagging behind in that area. Mainly because us fans still evaluate with our hearts. We see a guy that grabs us, and we latch on. We live or die with that kid. IF he makes the team, we feel validate. IF he is released, we feel the team let us down. It is just the nature of fandom.

 

tl/dr version: Preseason is for evaluation. Not for stat watching.

Like I said saints have 0 holes on the roster unlike the Panthers 

 

0 holes? C'mon man. You went from being last, and second to last in Defense the last two years. To having no holes?

 

Even my wife, who knows Jack about the NFL, knows the aints D has been...abysmal. But in one offseason, you have upgraded to...what...pathetic? Brees should sue your front office for non support.

Where's a hole on the roster? I'll wait

Maybe because they had corners off the street starting since game 2 last year. Or maybe the fact they never had starting quality line backers. Great thing about it is they addressed those issues. Why were the Panthers trash last year? I'll wait

Lol Saints had the most sacks in the preseason and had the 2nd ranked defense"bu bu bu but they still look the same" hahaha

Yall need to take off the homer shades. Saints have by far a better roster. Panthers have arguably the worst roster in the NFCS. 

So the skinny here is: AJ Klein made you a playoff team. 

Good luck with that

The aints are the Lions of the South. Brees, and Stafford, and to some Panther fans Cam, are Brethren. (Man, I have used that word a bunch tonight.) QBs stuck in a Franchise that just could not, for some reason or another, put it all together.

 

The game of football is divided into 3 phases. So too is the Front Office. You need solid Ownership, a quality GM and his personnel, and competent Coaching.

 

As bad as most Panther fans think their team has supported Cam. The aints have done a far worse job with Brees.

    • excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan. 
    • Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
    • a) That they made it a point in the room to point at the paper and say, "hope the camera got that" suggests we really did target the players we wanted and got them. While there is a ton of editing happening to cut out conversations not related to the players we picked, there didn't seem to be a lot of panic about who/what was going on b) Tepper appreciates the analytics. Now that he has a few years to see how the front office team works together to do the analysis, it still looks like he's hands-off (he's learned his lesson??). He seemed less vocal than in previous years' Blueprints (at least, in the edit).  I wouldn't expect Canales to be overly vocal in the draft room - he's likely already made his opinions known behind the scenes about certain players. Draft day is Morgan and Tilis and Eager's day. Loved seeing their interactions/conversations  c) that's all Eager. There's a great piece somewhere about the analytics engine he built floating around somewhere (maybe it was just after the draft?), and how he's constantly tweaking it with info about the players and input from the coaching staff.  That the post-draft press - for the most part - all seem to be overly positive about the draft actions we had compared to other teams makes it seem like we've gotten the ship moving in the right direction. Whether it translates to on-field results, well, that's a different topic for hundreds of other threads
