So what will Tepper's expectations be next season?

Do what it takes to get Lawrence or Fields. Sign Samuel...go to the playoffs. 
 

Atlanta - garbage

NO - Brees could be done; Rebuilding

TB - Brady looks done. 
 

If we get this draft and offseason right the division could be ours. 

TB just needs to sign Cam Newton next year and they will be the best team in the NFC

Given that he talked about a five year plan, I don't think Tepper's expectations for year two are gonna be sky high.

They may be higher than they would have been due to the team doing better than expected this season, but I think they'll still be reasonable.

Progress from this season is probably enough.

Are you sure? This season he has a 67 completion percentage. 4 Passing TDs, 9 INTs and a QB rating of 79.8.

Obviously he's quite a bit of damage rushing (387 yards, 9 TDs, 2 Fumbles), but even combined, that's 13 TD's and 11 Turnovers.

I think you don’t judge by wins yet. Especially if we draft a rookie QB. It should look like a more complete team (better offensive line, secondary, mlb), but if the young guys are improving and we are working in our next QB, you would have to expect a learning curve still. Year 3 we should be in the playoff race.

The Huddle before the season: This is the least talented roster in the league. We’ll end up with a top 5 pick. 
 

The Huddle during the season: This team is soooo bad, I can’t believe it! Tepper doesn’t care about winning!

A primary reason we have one of the least talented rosters in the league is because of Marty Hurney. Marty Hurney is still here. Marty Hurney still might be here next year. Tepper can show he cares about winning by letting go a GM with one of the strangest histories. A GM who was fired for performance reasons, brought back, retained across ownership change, and retained during more years of ineffectiveness. What an underdog story he has.

Seriously. 
 

I can’t stand Hurney the GM and want him gone as much as the next guy but I respect the hell out of Marty the person for the amount of money he’s been able to rob Richardson and Tepper of over the years.

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
