I'd be all for bringing Norman back.

Give us Norman, a safety, and another legit WR and we're a Super Bowl team IMO.

Brother, I'm afraid it's going to take more than that to get this team there.  But at this point I'm numb to whatever this team does.  I'm in it for the laughs now so I'm like whatever.

Getting Samuel back with a year of experience under his belt and a full NFL offseason will be big for the offense. Hopefully Funchess will continue to develop. I'm fine with Byrd as the #4 WR and Clay as the #5/return man. Just add one more legit WR and the WR corps all of a sudden isn't terrible. Hopefully Bradberry just had a sophomore slump and can return to his rookie form. Hell, I'd be for giving Worley a look at safety instead of CB. He's a very good tackler, but he sucks in coverage when on an island at CB. From a skill set standpoint, I honestly think he's a better fit at safety. Norman/Bradberry should be a very solid CB pairing and hopefully Corn Elder can push Captain at the nickel spot. We have to get younger/faster at safety one way or another though. Having two starting safeties with limited range AND being mediocre at CB is a recipe for disaster in the secondary.

We certainly have some holes, but I honestly don't think this roster as a whole is that far off. The rash of injuries at WR and trading KB mid-season just combined to be a worst case scenario at that position group.

There's a whole lot of ifs in your take on the situation.  My faith in all of that happening is not as strong as yours.  But I like your optimism.

We were VERY close this year to making a real run at SB52. I feel that if any of the NFC South leaders had gotten home field throughout, any of the 3 could have made the SB easily, but we have to play each other and rack up Ls. We beat 2 of the best teams in the playoffs. We aren't that far off. We obviously need to make several personnel moves, but we can get back on top of the South if things break our way.

I been saying for the longest to try Worley a saftey. He is arguably the best tackler in the secondary, he loves playing off the ball anyway, and is best when he can drop back and just read the qb instead of staying with a receiver in man. Put norman in the other corner spot and draft another safety.

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.
    • So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?
    • OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
