So, as we begin our sofa Coaching seasons, lets take a look at the upcoming top Wide Outs we (most likely) have to play against in 2018 

Mike Evans x2

Julio x2

Michael Thomas x2

Antonio Brown

Jarvis/Gordon

A.J. Green

Odell

Alshon

 

 

Not to beat a dead horse, but I would say if Ron and Hurndog 2.0 don't seek out players to bolster a weak secondary, we have settled for a losing/almost good mentality.

Hit me with your best takes.

    I am not sure I am willing to decide how our season is going to unfold yet. I may wait until the draft is over before making the decision to jump off the ledge, or not. But that may just be me.

 

    Also, I am willing to bet that Rivera, who is probably as competitive as you can be, and whose livelihood depends on him being successful. Is going to just settle for a "Losing/almost good" mentality. But again, that could just be me.

 

    Just let that fear of the past go. Pretend you have a pen. Now take that pen out of your pocket, and hold it out in front of you. Now... let it go. Poof, there goes your fear. The past is meant to be learned from, not to be feared.

Thank goodness the draft is so strong in secondary players and we don't have to face these teams with a safety group of senior citizens...

Now lets compare our WR core with those teams.

Even if you get Ridely it still won't be better than those teams...  Ridely is no Julio, Evan's, Thomas, Brown or OBJ.. At least we can have a comparable secondary to stop those teams .

You don't stop those WR's.lol

Ridley/Moore are not those WR's, but they can give us another solid threat for Cam. The more weapons the better our offense has to keep up with these elite offenses in our division.

We can have the best defense in the NFL, we still need to outscore the Falcons/Saints even the Bucs have a good offense.

It's time to give Cam some help on offense, we have gone far too long with him carrying the offense on his shoulders. Get the man some damn weapons!

No matter who you draft we still won't have the weapons to match these teams...

lol so basically you're saying keep what we have on offense which is not much and build a secondary to try and stop the Falcons/Saints/Bucs on offense?

Good luck with that. Even if we had a good secondary those offenses are still going to put up points. You don't stop a Brees led offense or a Ryan/Julio led offense. Get Cam some help on offense and we can be at the top of the division with those teams.

Otherwise we are going to struggle to score points all year.

Might have to add Ridley and Moore to that list if Ravens/Cowoboys go WR in round 1.

I will say this tho, the last 3 winners of the South also led south in PPG.

Eagles and Patriots were both in super bowl and finished 1 and 2 in PPG last year.

In 2016 the Falcons led the league in points and were in the super bowl. The saints finished 2nd and the patriots led the AFC at 3rd overall and won the Super Bowl.

In 2015 We led the league in points and were in the Super Bowl. 

14 the patriots led league in PPG and won the Super Bowl 

13 the Broncos led the league in PPG and made it the Super Bowl

Having the ability to score points is never a bad thing and could easily be argued it’s more important than a good defense. After all teams build around a QB first and foremost for a reason.

You have a better chance at stopping them with a top 5 defense than you do of getting in a shoot out with a offense that isn't as good as there's is...

We would have a great defense if you add a good secondary.. A great defense beats great offenses most of the time.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Derek Carr Retires

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
