Is this really Super Bowl team?

Realistically?  I mean sure a lot of good signs but this is not a Super Bowl team.  Otherwise, this is fan dreaming right?  IMO...way too many flaws here.  Coaching all the way down.  Just being realistic here.

Personally...before the season I never considered us a serious player to win it.  Just not there yet.

Aren’t we similar to Green Bay?  We “could” because of our QB and “might” put it all together and make a run but that isn’t realistic.  These teams doing something new, different that gives them a dominant edge win it.  And yes, Belichicks team is always in the mix with that QB and he is constantly changing.

This team top to bottom is good...but not Super Bowl level.

Personally I am going to enjoy the season...relax knowing we are flawed but knowing our owner will get us straight eventually.  It will be a while but keep pounding.

In a year I expect this team to look amazingly different.

I like your optimism and I want to believe we will get right eventually but we've already used up a lot of cam and Luke already. How much longer do they have?

I think y’all could be if y’all could somehow manufacture a pass rush. The pass rush (or lack there of) last night was just pitiful and will continue to hamstring the back 7 if nothing is done about it. I know y’all secondary has its own problems (like ours), but getting at least a little pressure on opposing QB’s will mask those deficiencies in most situations.

5 years at least. at that time luke will be 32 and Cam 34. More worried about luke than cam though, I think Cam will be with us for at least another 7 years. Ideally we extend him for 5 years after the 2019 season.

I am not nearly as pessimistic as many are here. 

We are a playoff team and if we can get things going defensively we could make it.

That game the other night was terrible.  It was also a short week and the Steelers did a better job of preparing for the short week than we did.  

In the playoffs you have, at minimum, the regular week to prepare.  In the SB you have 2 weeks.  I think our next game defensively will truly tell the tale.  If defensively we perform well.  Thursday night was not us, if we get hammered again.  We will be one and done.

I do think our #1 objective in the off season is Pass Rush.

we're somewhere in the 6-10 range of best teams i think.  we could beat anyone, but we could also lose to anyone.  i do think the packers are a good comparison.   we really needed to do something when cam was on his rookie deal.  i don't think we're coached well enough to win now that he's off it.  we're not going to build a dynasty with this staff. they're not capable.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      Even if he beats the odds, returns midseason  and plays like he did last year it won’t warrant a big contract extension.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth
