I was excited we brought in Matt Rhule and Joe Brady to start a rebuild. I was thinking even though Bucs picked up Brady he might have a chance at a SB and be gone in a couple years. Saints we’re losing Brees soon as well and would be going downhill. And we’ll Falcons are falcons not worried about them. I was like ok this rebuild might take two years or so just want to see them be ready by year 3. Now almost halfway through year two we don’t look good at all. We have no oline, and no franchise qb to build with anytime soon. Also guess what Brady has already won SB first year with Bucs and looks like he will play five more years. Payton has saints playing well enough with Winston even though we beat them which I’m starting to believe was a fluke with all the guys they were missing. And Falcons  have looked worse than us but have one loss less than us. I haven’t seen many people talk about the way the division was setting up good for us down the road, but now I’m not certain at all. What do y’all think?

The point of a rebuild is to gradually improve and over time get better by adding and developing young pieces. We all knew we were going to suck for while with having a young roster. So far, Rhule and his staff has somehow poo the bed and team has gotten worse than when we initially started.

This is the overlying concern and why the state of things is as it is currently.

Almost two years ago….. our defense was 23rd in yards per play allowed and 31st in points allowed per game.

 

Currently our defense is 3rd in yards per play allowed and 7th in points per game allowed.

 

There is a lot of woah regarding what the team doesn't have instead of being exited about what we do have. We are in year 2 of a rebuilding process. The early resources were spent on defense and the team is starting to see the results of that effort. I trust that we will see similar results on offense in a year or two.

As for the OPs question:

  • Jameis ain't all that, he's just as awkward in the backfield as Sam. I suspect he will be replaced once the 'aints have the ammo.
  • The Falcons are going to be going to be in the QB market themselves very soon. Have you seem Matt Ryan's contract? Dude is likely gone next season.
  • Brady is an unknown. He's good, but benefits immensely from an all-star roster of vets that make team friendly deals in order to ring chase. Ultimately father time is undefeated. Our team is being built to handle the Bucs though ... what other reason is there for our Pokémon like obsession with good CBs? Going to need a LOT of guys to cover everyone wearing pewter and red.

Basically, our near-term competition is the Bucs and our long term competition is probably the Saints (at least as long as they have Payton).

I’ve heard Father Time is undefeated about Brady for the past 5 years I’m not falling for it anymore!

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By CRA · Posted

      I'll be honest.  I'm not sure I want to see any those guys returning right now given what others are presently doing.... minus Coker.  Hubbard returning likely messes the run game up (I mean, it's going to come down regardless but he still), Tremble and Evans actually are doing well, Corbett seems to make us worse up front, and the D has made some strides.  I'd like to just keep that whole lot on the shelf this week.

      Ikem Ekwonu is slated to GET PAID

      By Basbear · Posted

      I don't think people know that Icky is still only 25 years old. Panthers signed UDFAs older this year and drafted DJ Johnson. Heres a fact, a deep fact.... Its easier(much) to find a good-great QB than good-great LT. Another fact there's only 12-15 true LTs and the others are larping as LT.  SO....(I'm not a fan btw)......you nearly must resign him at all cost even with him being around the 12th best at times. Its the hardest spot to fill and he's still awful young with 4 years as a pro. Carolina already got 4 years of "cheap" service as well, that's invested time and effort.  The fan-side of me hopes he signs some top 5 at best top 3 big money deal. Just the cap keeps growing and LTs, young LT with experience are rrrrrrare and unique. Tag him if needed and tag him again, then trade him. I think he enjoys being/living in NC.  I hope he's stays on a team friendly deal, but those are soooo rare these days.  Only two options- pay him whatever, even if it's top $$$$$(uggggghhhh..) or tag him for 2027 and keep trying to pay. Worst outcome is trading him for couple 1s, 3s, and 5th maybe a player too.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By CRA · Posted

      I always loved DJ Moore.  I don't see him wanting to comeback here.  He seems to be tired of inconsistent QB play and you finally see that bubbling over in Chicago.  or maybe he just doesn't like the people.  He actually seemed fine with Fields.....and lobbied for them not to draft Caleb.  So maybe it's just a Caleb issue (and I think Caleb might have tons of baggage/issues that rub folks wrong)
