Hurney has done a great job of putting together a squad that can make a run for the Super Bowl.  

Yeah, I know every team tries to do the same and many teams say the same thing.   There is just a feel about this team that makes me believe we are going to make waves this season.

McCoy, Irvin, Hogan and Paradis are solid veterans to replace all the veteran leadership we lost last year.

Olsen committing to play at least one more season.

Cam stronger than ever and weapons that are about to explode.

A defense that is going to cause fits for teams with a player that just might make a run for DROY.

Good draft picks across the board and decent FA signings.

Yes, I am an optimistic person and every season I feel we can do it but this year just seems to have a special feel to it.

Go Panthers.  Super Bowl bound.

I don’t want to start a new thread so will just ask, would you put any money on this team purely based on the current odds?  I would leave it to insiders because there are gaps of information that we just don’t know (eg. Cams health last season). It is so tempting this year, kind of on the fence.

Let's play and win a game first.

Totally agree. 

But I will say, as a fan from the beginning, this year definitely feels full of potential. 

There is always some luck involved too  but dam if it doesn’t feel like we’re primed to unleash.

If the stars align perfectly, sure.  But there are too many if’s right now.  How much of a jump do DJ and Samuel make?  They look good right now.  Can the left side of our OL hold up?   How comfortable is the defense with this transition or are we gonna get gashed on occasion until they get it down.  

And the biggest thing is health.  Not just Cam’s shoulder. But depth in various spots could be exposed with just an injury or two. 

Do I think we are a playoff team. Yes.  Super Bowl? Lots of thing have to go perfectly our way.

Everything you said I can positively get on board with except....

Cam is stronger than ever? I’m not sure how this is possible to know at this point or really until the end of the season to see him hold up long term.

I am actually pretty concerned about TE play. A rookie coming off an injury, who I think is overrated here anyways. And Olsen has been worthless/retired/injured for the past few years and it’s obvious at this point he’s just collecting his Hurney-fan-favorite check at this point. Very little reason to think he’s going to produce at an above average level.

Still a lot of questions that will be answered in TC and the regular season;

Will Cam stay healthy

Will the o-line keep Cam vertical

will the D struggle with the switch to 34

will they find a legit backup for CMC... if he gets hurt our offense will struggle 

will we find a competent starting nickel

In other words let’s wait until some games are played before we start talking SB

We need to beat the Rams first. We will be able to tell a lot about both teams that game. But yeah, we need to take care of the Saints. Get that monkey off our back.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
