We are the future of the nfc south

Saints Drew Brees 41 - retiring within two years Winston doesn’t scare me when he takes over. Payton honestly could position himself to take over the Cowboys job is Mike Mcarrthy isn’t successful ASAP. TAYSOM hill is 29 currently. AK And MT obviously could be long time playmakers but you never know with contracts and injuries. 

Falcons Matt Ryan is 34 / i for one believe his success has been because of Julio (31) and a decent supporting cast. But again in the next two years things can look a lot different. 

Bucs It’s this year or bust. Chemistry takes some time. OJ Howard will get better under gronk. I don’t want to put a clock on Tom Brady, he seems to defy all odds. I can’t see him ruining his legacy fighting for a title with the Bucs. Their defense is primed to be solid for a long time. 

Panthers I for one believe Teddy will surprise people with his consistency. He obviously won’t have the same peeks and valleys as cam. I do hope we are able to land a Trevor Law or Justin Fields. Our defense will get this year and next to learn these offenses in the nfc south and hopefully play the back end of their rookie deals with NO Tom, NO JULIO, NO Brees. 

I guess what I’m saying is, that eventually every team will have to rebuild in the NFC south soon.We are doing it first. If Matt Rhule isn’t successful in the next 3-4 years, I will be sad lol

Honestly assuming the staff really believes in someone and Teddy hasn’t surprised to the extent he should be the franchise, I won’t be surprised if we trade up to get the QB we want.

Eh, the Saints and Falcons have decent teams built; moreso the saints. They hit on a QB within the next few years and they’ll be right in it.

That's kind of it. All of the other teams in our division are currently much better set for the future than we are.

COULD we be the future? Sure. It isn't easy to take a look at the current roster and see that, however. Maybe I could see having this discussion in a couple of years but we literally have to build this roster from almost nothing. That takes some time.

    • I work with social emotional learning and I don't know why a player with all the tools (to Snow's point) sucks when he was a top 10 player in college.  It is not talent, and it is usually not due to some learning disability-.  It comes down to dispositions or emotions in a lot of cases. The reason I pointed out Simmons in particular is because he was drafted to be a DC's new weapon.  I have friends who played in the NFL and they talk about the amount they throw at you--and those were guys who played 1 position.  Simmons shows his ability on special teams--where you are a bit more turned loose than scripted or forced to read blocking schemes or pass routes, etc.  See ball, get ball.  Simmons has been tried at CB, nickel, S , LB edge and he has had 5 different coordinators if you do not count the STs guy.  This would overwhelm most people.  Nobody knows what it does to your confidence and motivation to go from the best player on your team and a top college player to getting cut.   I just think that players like this can be saved.  To say, "He just isn't good" is not to answer the question, "Why was this not noticed during the interviews?  game film?  Combine?  References?  etc.  No, there has to be something more to it than that.  I think Isaiah needs one job and that job should be aligned with a strength.  If he fails then, fine.  Maybe he lost his mojo.  Maybe he never had it.  But to understand what he has been through is to give the guy the benefit of the doubt.  If you played in high school, you got a happy meal version of what it is like in college.  College was an appetizer when compared to pros.  We shall see.  But I am more optimistic about Simmons than I am XL.  Simmons was asked to things most NFL players cannot do.  XL just needs to catch the damn ball in bounds.   Middle schoolers do it every day.
    • This was a super interesting analysis....and I will say I dont think it prevents us from looking at Safety in the draft. IF Ransom takes a step up and outplays Moehrig, there is an out for them after the year as a potential cap cut.  EVEN if not, if you are right and Simmons shows some promise as a Big nickel and Moehrig gets  injured and Ransom looks good (or even if Moehrig looks bad) I could see him being a cap casualty in 2027 as long as we feel we have enough talent there as starting potential.  Lotta football to play and Lotta injuries to happen.  Im hopeful because his measurables are through the roof, but unless they translate you still gotta go with what you got.
    • He’s a leader on this defense. Sometimes you need a guy because he makes those around him better. Talent wise he is a career backup but he’s part of the fabric of this d that’s already gelled.  If you bring in all these new pieces without some of the established leadership you have a lack of focus. This is a good signing.
