I don't normally make threads, but with all the negativity out there I think it's time to bring in some perspective. Yeah there are moves this team has made that  many posters don't like. You may not have liked who we traded for, signed, got rid of, etc. There are some who are disgruntled because of the way the whole Watson situation ended up. In which case I can only say get over it.

However there is one thing you can not deny this staff in doing and that is their effort in trying to put together the best overall team they can. They've added players with potential, improved in areas, added depth. You might not have liked it, but at least they are trying. Unlike our previous regime who were dead set in their ways, kept around their favorite players, didn't start the best players on the field due to favoritism. Not only that, but our current staff actually makes changes to game planning and philosophy as well instead of sticking to the same old failed plan time and time again. 

So if you don't like the moves that have been made, at least look at the effort and how it is much better than what we had before.

Actually, the moves they have made are pretty impressive--these are unusual times.  The Darnold move may not pay off, but to get a developmental, 23 year old QB with NFL experience and not have to use your first rounder drafting a 21 year old developmental QB with NO NFL experience was brilliant.  Now we get the QB AND the LT.  The players we have signed on the bottom end are low risk, high reward players.  Erv and Elf on the OL, the biggest head scratchers to me, can play every position on the OL. 

So I will reserve judgement, but Marty's answer was to re-sign  what you know (he used to brag that 3 of his draft picks were the highest paid at their respective positions---because HE PAID THEM) and throw scrubs at some spots like RT, RG, DT, CB, etc. while he tried to figure it out.

I will take this---it seems like the second year of the three year turnaround.

      Off-season Thread

      Don’t get me wrong, I love Koochie. I think he could be a star. But I’m not convinced Rod trusts him. And I realize my post was confusing. I meant based on the reports of swapping Necas for Ullmark or another goalie. If we’re going to trade for a goalie I would rather use draft picks instead of lowering the value of Necas.

      You can make a decent case that most of the starters are at-least average. But depth-wise, its awful, maybe the worst in the NFL.  The only reason they could be a playoff team, is the awful NFC south and its collection of bad QBs and coaching staffs. That changed big time when cousins and Morris arrived to ATL. Now it would take a setback to cousins, in which he currently ready to play given all the stem cells and peptides stuff he has.  In past years there was always some elite talent leftd on the 7 win rosters. Like many know theres just dbrown and a huge ? in horn. If hunt was elite, phins would have tagged him. There's no Thomas Davis, Luke, Cam, Olsen, peppers, kalil, beason, gross, Jenkins, Smitty etc on the team. Brown is great and all, but sacks and pressure wise, he's not game changing. Panthers lack difference makers, young ones. You could make a weak case for clowney, but that ravens D is stacked.  Us fans just need to hope Dan Morgan can collect more young difference maker in the next 2-3 years. If Bryce isn't that guy, 4 years before this team can sniff the playoffs.  Honestly the panthers are due some luck as well.

      Least excitment before any season?

      The fact that Smitty TD and all of our other black players love JR, it was probably another made up cancel culture BS to go along with the times.
