I’d say 3-4 seasons at least

 

 this team will need to rebuild their o line

 find a franchise QB

 learn to move on from CMC

 

 THANKFULLY the team has very good young building blocks but realistically we’re no where near being an upper echelon team in the NFL for the foreseeable future

It is hard to believe how short sighted most of this board is. They think we are a player or two away from being a SB contender when nothing is more from the truth. We haven't had back to back top 8 picks because we are ready to contend. Actually we are in a rebuild mode and it will probably take two more years to get where we need to be. We need a LT, C, G, DT, DE, MLB, FS and considerable depth. Most here want a new QB, so I'll throw that in. We have close to 40 million in cap room for next year and a first rounder, but our trades have gutted out 2022 draft. We can do a lot to fix the OL with FA and the draft, but that isn't going to make us a serious contender. We are at least 2 years away.

2023 fix the oline

2024 look for a QB

2025 CMC will be like 40, will need a new RB

2026 probably when we’ll start contending. QB will be in his 3rd year. 

 

I’ve never seen a franchise that has been so successful at wasting All-Pro Players career; Cam, Luke and CMC.

I wouldn't bet on it with the current owner. It looks like we're going to be the next team with an owner that can't keep his hands out of the cookie jar, and perennial losers for it.


If this were true we’d have Justin Fields right now.

I think our defense is fine now. The offense is fuging them over by keeping them on the field constantly.

La Canfora posted something and we are 3rd in yards per game for defense which tells you that the offense is giving short fields which never helps. We have some issues to fix but this defense reminds me of 2019 Tampa…all those same players were there in 2019 that won is 2020 but Jameis didn’t help them out.

Yep. At least 3-4 depending on if they learn from their mistakes.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
