(significant coaching improvement is actually much more important than draft picks. 

Yep. A better coaches makes later picks into better players. See Steelers with Big Ben, Packers with Rodgers, Chiefs with Mahomes. All taken later than Rivers, Smith, and Mitch with rings to show for it.

Rhule has done a great job.  He's improved in time management and our defense has been very good. Many positives in our loses.   I find probably the best ones to be that Rodgers had only been sacked 14 times in 13 games and we got to him 5 times.   He also has his lowest yards per reception in his career at 4.5 ypc.   This shows our D-Line is improving and our defensive backfield is improving.

I know so many peopled are bummed that we won but as I've said many times before.  The players don't give a poo about drafting a player that might replace them.  They are going to ball out ever time they are on the field.   The will always try to win. 

Disappointed we dropped in the draft position but I am happy that we played a good game.

I would also believe based on Tepper's comments about QB's and the playoffs that Rhule and Co. are going to address an additional QB.  I don't think we go into next season with the same QB room.

Greer (a Hurney pick) is probably gone so we will draft a QB to add to the team .  It is undecided if we will also pick up a QB that is cut from another team or a free agent . We may have 4 going into camp .  I know Tepper is not sold on Teddy , but due to his contract from Hurney he won't be cut .  We may trade him or have him as a backup QB .  If nothing else happens he will start next year and our draft pick can sit and learn .

    • If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.
    • Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
    • it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
