One more trade coming on Thursday, Tampa trade a 1st round and Arians for Belichick

I’d take Arians over Belichick right now and Belicheck is the best coach in the NFL.  Belichick is gonna get a reality check this year, now that the veterans are all gone and he has to convince the world that Brady wasn’t the GOAT.  
 

Not to mention the NFC is so much softer than the AFC when it comes to smash mouth football and consistency.  The AFC has the same 4 or 5 teams in the playoffs every year and the NFC is a crap shoot every year.

Bucs secondary and OL are garbage.  They have no good RB and slot WR. They are few injuries away from being garbage on both side of the field.

Godwin essentially became their slot WR last year after they lost Humphries.

If you think that Belichick is going into 2020 with Stidham at Qb, you’re dead wrong. NE still has a pretty good roster. I have them behind Buffalo right now in their division but still think they will squeeze into the playoff

I didn’t that Godwin would be this good this soon but I did want him coming out of college. All he did last season was put Donte on his back and run around the field.

We won't have much of a D next year so cool. Should be fun to watch however it goes and if they crap on the Saints and Falcons then it's a free bonus to us for a year or two. 

If we're not going to win the NFCS (which certainly looks doubtful at this point unless we have the best draft in the history of all things) then heck yeah I hope it's the Bucs! Fug the Taints! Fug the Falcunts!

Belichick won 11 games with Matt Cassel at QB and a RB committee consisting of Sammy Morris, Kevin Faulk, Lamont Jordan (all over 30 years old) and a rookie BenJarvus Green-Ellis that was ranked 6th in yards, 4th in TD's, 4th in attempts, and 7th in YPC, and a defense that was 8th in points and 10th in yards in 2008.

Last year that defense was ranked 1st in the following categories: points, yards, 1st downs surrendered, passing TD's surrendered, rushing TD's surrendered, and interceptions. They were also 2nd in turnovers and passing yards surrendered, and were top-10 in fumbles (7th), passing attempts (8th), rushing attempts (5th), and rushing yards surrendered (6th).

And you're telling me it's Belichick that's going to get the reality check? Nah, Brady is going to find out how fun it is playing behind an offensive line that can't block for **** with zero running game and the league's worst pass defense on the other side the ball that hemorrhages points and yards and he's always playing from behind.

The Buccaneers will be lucky to win 10 games. With that defense, 10 games is the floor for the Patriots regardless of who their QB is.

Godwin is not a small quick dude.  He’s a big guy with a blazing speed.

Playing in the slot and being small/quick aren't mutually exclusive concepts. Over the last decade and a half, we've used both Michael Thomas and Marques Colston in the slot to great success.

Brady is old, and it showed last year. He doesn't really scare me that much.

Gronk does.

I know he's had a lot of injury issues, but when he can play, he's dangerous.

And we no longer have Luke "The Huggy Bear" Kuechly to shut him down.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.

      Not unexpected: Panthers raise season ticket prices

      By toldozer · Posted

      Season tickets aren't affordable anymore definitely when they've been so bad for 8 years before last season. When I started going my seats were front row uppers for like 38 bucks. Those seats are 100 dollars now. Teams make their money from tv, if I was an owner my goal would be to break even on tickets and concessions.
